There’s a cool backstory to this… U2 has been around almost as long as a Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith. But they’re in different age groups. They were only teenagers when they started. When they were young Patti Smith was one of their favorite artists and major influences. Even in how she’s such a physical singer.. just like Bono. So when Bono said “this is the song we wish we’d written“ and “we had to make something special happen tonight“ that wasn’t just hollow rhetoric. He meant it. The 4 guys in the band grew up absolutely adoring Patti Smith
This song brings me back to the year i left school. I still have nightmares im still at school. Im 58.Love this song,so does my whole road,they don't know it yet.
Bruce is so humble when sharing the stage with others. He always hangs back as if he’s almost uncomfortable being there but allowing his peers to shine. Seriously still one of my favorite live performances of any song. The whole 25th annual shows were incredible.
Technically U2 is sharing the stage however Geniuses in any field known that collaboration makes them better. Think of singers now they wouldn’t share a stage with anyone because of their egos...

I saw her live in a small venue back in 1979 and fought to the teeth for her bandana which she had tossed into the audience. She also smashed her guitar to bits on stage. Boy was she something and she's still got the voice. She hails from a small NJ town close to where I grew up. I wonder where she's living now and what occupies her time?

Years ago that was U2 that introduced me to Patti Smith - through their great b-side rendition of Dancing Barefoot. It's so wholesome to see such artists respect each other, and their joy on stage
When you can Write a song by Bruce and then Song by Patti you got a Winner, I’m 72 in 2024 and I listen to it daily in my Garage with 100 watt Amp and JBL L112 Speakers,an I’m 72 in 2024
I’ve enjoyed every version of this song that I’ve heard. In April 2024, 14 years after it was new, I’m still trying to work out if this performance is my favorite.
Bruce Springsteen really enjoyed himself there! And it is interesting to see him playing with such energy while the Edge is playing so laid back and both achieving the same greatness.
@@unloveableandre Smith's Verses, Springsteen's everything else. He actually did write the whole song and you can find his version on Spotify if you look. It's a LOT more tense and angsty as you'd expect from Bruce. When he sent the tape to Patti, she sat with it on loop and re-wrote the verses as the song played. Here's a fantastic article from Billboard that talks about it. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8462017/patti-smith-because-the-night-40th-anniversary-oral-history
For anyone that might be interested, here's Bruce's original lyrics (so far as I can tell): Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me close, try and understand I work all day, out in the hot sun Break my back, till the morning comes Come on now, try and understand The way I feel when I’m in your hands Take me now as the sun descends They can’t hurt you now They can’t hurt you now They can’t hurt you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us What I got, I have earned What I’m not, baby I have learned Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe Just stay in my bed till the morning comes Come on now, try and understand The way I feel when I’m in your hands Take me now as the sun descends They can’t hurt you now They can’t hurt you now They can’t hurt you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Your love is here and now The vicious circle turns and burns without Though I cannot live forgive me now The time has come to take this moment and They can't hurt us now They can't hurt us now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us (x2)

This live Rock & Roll Hall of Fame music collaboration of U2 Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith for Because the Night is a music wizardry sensation, I wish that I would have known about this version multiple years ago when it was first released, at least I know about this collaboration now.
🩵 I got shivers just from my favourite lyricist / band: announcing my other faves. For the first time I understand why some people scream in audiences. It’s overwhelmingly happy feeling. Thank you for uploading this
Just finished reading my late husband's copy of 'Just Kids'. Listening to this powerhouse version seemed a good epilogue. Patti, Bruce & U2-amazing 🌌 💙
omg! 3 of my favorite people in the world singing this outstanding song! Patti is a genious, and Bono plus Springteen are great!! I wish I could see a show like that more often. Because the night has become an anthem of love! Thank you!
heyyyy therre, lyletita! yes to everything you expressed annnnd not sure if you've got Patti's ''twelve'' album of covers? amazing... she does stevie wonder, neil yung, the beatles, nirvana and others... this being one of my faves, she does Dylan right... annnnd i LOVE the photos!

thank you.. your comments are great!
Patti Smith isn't a singer, she's a force of nature.
Yes!!
The original original artists
so is your moms mouth when shes sucking
Great Minds...think alike...
I agree with the first part, definitely
Patti Smith's performances fascinate me. She's so commanding as soon as she steps up to the microphone. Her voice, her demeanor, she's a force.
Good here? Breathtaking back in 1977.😅
That audience experienced something so very special
Massive rock stars worshipping at the altar of Patti Smith, a capital A artist and unsurpassed pop cultural icon. In a league of her own forever.
Patti & Bruce killing it! And the nice little backup band is pretty good too!
just wish one of them would go further into the the background!
Ms. Smith's genuinely shy but incandescent smile makes this something for the angels....
When Patti Smith sings, I always get goose pimples on my arms, her voice is absolutely amazing
I absolutely adore her!
Bumps not pimples
The one time I got to see her. It was a spiritual experience.
I am an atheist.
@@lawsonransom8318did you even ask what they identify as?!? Geeze!
When patty smith sings I agree
Some songs sound like they had always existed, like there was a need for them to be there. This is one of them.
It would be my greatest wish for the younger generation to love this song as much as I have for all these many years .. out ...
This is my neighbour's favourite song whether he likes it or not
Omg lol!
This song brings me back to the year i left school. I still have nightmares im still at school. Im 58.Love this song,so does my whole road,they don't know it yet.
Congratulations to him 😂
Lol
😂👍😘
Patti is awesome,still wonderful to listen to. This is truly a masterpiece ❤
She is just the most sincere, intense, trueblue.....
We'll never see another, my friends.She's the deal.
Bruce Springsteen is a legend 👏
Yes
yeah merica!!!!!!!!!!!
now go back to sleep
so is Patti
Too many legendary people on one stage. Pure LOVE. Rock deities. #respect
How would you ever answer, "Which one is your favorite?"
And did you notice that "The Professor" Roy Bittan was on the piano too?
Doesn’t get any better than this

Patti steals the stage with those vocals. So powerful.
Still can't believe I was there that night. Sheer magic!
I envy you....Patti Smith....Wow.....
😀 I was there that night too. Unfortunately I fell asleep half way though...
sweet
Then you remember it took three takes to get it right!
So jealous
Stunning. Bruce is always a generous performer. U2 don't miss a beat. The great Patti, astonishing.
yeah merica is generous!!!!!!!!!👍👍✌️✌️😎😎😎😎😤😤🥶🥵

You should see him in Roy Orbison's Black and White Night.

Bruce wrote the chorus... Patti wrote the rest of the lyrics.,.... greatest song!!!
EXACTLY
He really is remarkably humble. It just jumps off the screen. Paul McCartney is the same way. I’m amazed at how humble PM is considering who he is.
Springsteen.....60+yrs old and still crushes it. legend
You posted this a while ago and it's true. Now it's 2021 and Bruce will be turning 72.
YES! He still crushes it!
@@amfmr And still crushing it at 75!
3 legends in rock performing a legendary song written by the boss..... Would have liked to see them live on stage together!!!!
What a perfect combination for this song! Patti, Bruce and Bono...just gets no better than this!!! Love it!
Yes...
A bit better, what Garbage and the Screaming Females do with this song in nothing short of epic.

This song is a masterpiece
I'd love you if I wasn't already gone
Huh lol @@lawsonransom8318
Patti, the only woman on stage. Classic rock is very much a male dominated art form. She is legend.
Dang dang dang!!!!!! 💜
Rock n Roll History as it happened......And the moment belonged to Patti Smith.....forever.....

Just what I needed to restore my faith in music, and in humanity
The greatest trio , singing the greatest song. Excellent!
All three of them have very different stage presences. So amazing to see!
Can´t stop crying while listening to this song, since 1982. One of the best ones, in terms of a love song.
I just discovered this song a few months ago and the bridge won’t stop making me cry
This is what Rock Is all about - a fusion of great talents a superb version
I have seen U2, Bruce, and Patti since they are at the top of my favorites. I love this. This is what heaven will be like for me.

This gives me chills.

For anyone that might be interested, here's Bruce's original lyrics (so far as I can tell):
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
I work all day, out in the hot sun
Break my back, till the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I’m in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can’t hurt you now
They can’t hurt you now
They can’t hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
What I got, I have earned
What I’m not, baby I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I’m in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can’t hurt you now
They can’t hurt you now
They can’t hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us (x2)
