I'm not sure why so many people have negative comments about Bruce paying homage to Michael's legacy by covering this song. He wasn't trying to upstage Hutch or perform it better, he is merely paying respect to an amazing band and to keep Michael's memory alive. Is that such a bad thing? The biggest's compliment to INXS's music are those who keep them alive, and that's what Bruce chose to do. Geez!
I'm a longtime INXS fan back in the 80s and I'm a Jersey boy too, so you know I'm a Bruce fan...this was a great tribute, no question! Keep the memories alive, no question...shouldn't matter who does it! :-) #INXSFOREVER
i've always thought don't change was an underappreciated classic.having the boss cover it is validation how great it is. bruce plays this with such fury!
if you think it's an under appreciated classic it's because you are too young to know any better. This was pretty much their anthem from their first Major hit making album called shabooh shoobah in 1982.. It was the song that took them from obscurity to major league.. From someone who was there and watched their meteoric rise to fame, literally from the pubs,... I forgive your ignorance xx
jennie Ho I would be the first to agree that "Don't Change" was and always will be the greatest INXS anthem, but here in the United States the song did not ever come even close to receiving the same amount of attention and airplay as some of the band's later mega hits such as "Need You Tonight" and "Suicide Blonde," so in that respect it truly was under appreciated or at least somewhat neglected. I forgive your ignorance.
I am not a big Bruce Springsteen fan and I have to admit Im only here because I was listening to INXS but he meant every second of that performance. He shred the hell out of that guitar. Cheers for this one, Bruce.
Bruce pays homage to every local artist worldwide. He paid homage to one of the most iconic artists in my country during Rock in Rio ( Brazil). He played Raul Seixas's big success Alternative Society. Just to mention, he learnt Portuguese to sing the song and it was great. Bruce is the real boss. A powerful voice, a great artist.
Wow, this is fantastic. Not a huge Bruce fan (until recently), not a huge INXS fan, but the respect is palpable right there. Bruce is oozing respect, he knows the importance of this song and that he is singing it in Sydney, the home of INXS and the home of a man who will be mourned forever. Bruce stays solemn, stays cool, and rocks the fuck out of that classic piece of Aussie rock. Well played Sir.
+Keeper Curley Respect always Keeper, no matter what, make allowinses for people who Love INXS before you make rash jugement and I would be very careful what you say If I would you
Execution of bitterness. I love this song and so thankful for INXS. Bruce is an enormous talent and it would be any musician's honor to have the boss cover one of your songs.
OMG....always been a Springsteen fan since the mid 70s growing up in Sydney. Simultaneously , mega INXS fan.. Thanks Boss, this is an amazing tribute to the lads
Sooo soooo COOL!! I got the urge to for Don't Change, found INXS and listened then found this. OH MAN, TEARS TO MY EYES TOO!!! Imitation is the HIGHEST COMPLEMENT. Well done Bruce, CLASS ACT.
Utterly fantastic..I can't believe I just found this!!! What a tribute.A musical assault that punches you right in the face... stunning.. Michael would be be so proud.It literally is the best song I have ever heard preformed live..bar none!
Wow! I JUST discovered this incredible tribute from one type of Rock Legend to another type of Rock Legend AND his band! I love Bruce and his raw, enduring talent...and will FOREVER miss & love Michael and his unbelievably charismatic, yet vulnerable nature, AMAZING voice and stage presence & one-of-a-kind uniqueness that no frontman has yet rivaled (IMO). He exuded a sensuality, that I must admit, made & still makes me weak in the knees 💕 Excellent performance 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 RIP Hutch ❤️💕💔
Heard this on my way home from work yesterday on Sirius E st. channel. Sent chills up my spine when the vocals kicked in. Played it about 20 times since then....great, great cover of an awesome song. Thanks Bruce
Best cover by anyone, ever. So much passion and energy. Imagine the sound engineers trying to balance all those guitars. The backing vocals toward the end the end get me every time.
This never gets old. I'm always in shock that INXS was ever on his radar. I always tear up. Bruce feeling it the whole way through, especially at the end.
bruce gets you emotional in some of his songs....philadelphia is one. There wasnt a dry eye in the philly clubs & bars...when it was played. that love song to philly in its darkest hours was like a nuke right in the feels... Bruce IS the BOSS!
Definitely caused some watery eyes . . . what struck me most about this is how much the intensity of the Boss's singing and guitar playing matched the intensity of Hutchence's singing (though obviously a different style). Of the dozen or so times I saw INXS live, it always struck me how powerful of a voice Hutch had, just booming at times. They were a great live band, which makes this tribute from another great live band so fitting.
A Springsteen-esque rocking version of a great INXS hit. What a brilliant tribute. So glad that I was right there up at the stage that night in Sydney to witness it. Remembering Michael Hutchence today, the 20th anniversary of his passing. What a star he was.
They can slay any song you like and make it a classic ))) I was there that night...flew in from New Zealand, rocked out at the gig, flew home the following day))))) what a fkn brilliant 24 hours spent in Australia.))))
I was there with my 18 year old son in the mosh pit (all four of my boys have seen the boss) it was so emotional for mostly everyone there as well as was Friday on mind it's the age we were. He pays homage to home grown artists at lots of his concerts
What a great job such energy to the same as Michael great tribute great song since I was little this has been my favorite song !!! I hope his daughter just sits and watches her father and listens to his music to get a feel of a sad loss for her that she didn’t get to truly meet him !! Great tribute to a very missed and memorable unforgettable musician♥️😍🥰⭐️✨😃🥺🥹🎆💯🙏😇😔👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, thanks I have never seen this. Excellent performance. I love this song, INXS was a killer band. . Love Bruce too !! What a great cover of this song.
Hahahaha, I just said that to myself, _"Dude, isn't that Tom Morello?"_ And, yes...yes, it is! This is such a wonderful cover. I'm not a big Springsteen fan, but I've seen him in concert, and that band works _hard._ Serious vibes on cover songs all night long. Just a spectacular showman.
Wow, to see this tribute - even to know this song and what it represented was in Bruce's line of sight - feels amazing. It was the song that grabbed me by INXS and I was a fan forever. He really put everything into this
The INXS original was on the pre-show tapes in 1984, near the end right before they would come on. I remember my heart rate would jump just hearing the song come on knowing we were close.
holy mackerel! that brass section is phenomenal! thats one thing about bruce-he always puts in great extras when he plays a cover song. i'll bet the Aussies will worship him for including that song in their performance. thats just the way they are :)
Wow! Just wow! Another moving tribute from Bruce and the E Street Band and special guests. I think Bruce was being very passionate about this song because he was pissed off as many of us are that we lost such a talented, beloved performer such as Michael Hutchence way too soon! THANK YOU! Bruce! ❤️❤️RIP Michael ❤️💝🙏☮️💖😢
The original version is one of my very favorite songs. It's a perfect pop song. I love this version. You nailed what I feel was the intended vibe. Awesome work.

you're absolutely right!
King David i had tix to that last show in SF ---- i'll never get over that - wtf??
well started
A respectful and passionate tribute from one rock legend to another. This makes me miss Michael even more.
bruce is human, a good one. #BOSS
Yes, certainly respectful, that's the way Bruce is His version is also way better than the original. That's Bruce.

Totally agree...specially if you lived those early 80´s days as a teenager.

Girlfriend….Bruce was doing a cover of "Don't Change," for the Australian Audience in memory of Michael.
Amen. It was also meant to be played LOUD! So sad. What a talent, Hutchence. What power, what presence.
This is the best INXS' song. The video of this song is one of the MTV's classics back in the early 80's.
RIP Michael Hutchence! Never be forgotten! Thanks Boss for that tribute!
I am not a big Bruce Springsteen fan and I have to admit Im only here because I was listening to INXS but he meant every second of that performance. He shred the hell out of that guitar.
Cheers for this one, Bruce.
I agree bro. Not a bruce fan at all. Didn’t want to play this. I just love the/his guitar at the end though. He’s ripping it good
so true, it was a passion performance for the loss of yet another talented young singer with so much ahead of him
What "just this one?" You should listen to more Bruce - treat yourself.
@@MikeLewis1964 how can you lot not be Bruce fans but like INXS? Bruce wipes the floor with them!

Bruce is the real boss. A powerful voice, a great artist.
The talent and voice of Michael Hutchence will always be remembered! What a beautiful tribute, "The Boss"!
That brought tears to my eyes. Bruce gave it 110%.
I was working on my car when I heard the bad news over the radio in 1997
Tears here too, Bruce gave his all, Wonderful performance.
Bruce has never given less than 110% on ANYTHING in life
Bruce always gives 110 percent
Ugh.
This was a great moment at that gig. Was there. Loved it. Great choice, and great version.
That brought tears to my eyes. Bruce gave it 110%.

Bruce is cool in the realest way
God Bless Bruce for paying homage to a Wonderful Singer, Performer, Artist Michael Hutchence & INXS' music!
Thanks Boss, great to see you cover/honour the local rock talent. #blessyoumate
What a tribute. One of the best compliments you can pay.
Brings tears to my eyes seeing one of my heroes singing a great song by one of my favorite bands. So much respect here.
Springsteen is so cool. Instead of covering a ubiquitous INXS song, he covers this one! A song any loyal diehard INXS fan knows. Cool.
Off one of their best albums too. Shabooh Shoobah
Ferocious and gut-wrenching! What a beautiful tribute! R.I.P. Michael! "Message received loud and clear. Don't change a thing..."
Execution of bitterness. I love this song and so thankful for INXS. Bruce is an enormous talent and it would be any musician's honor to have the boss cover one of your songs.
One of the greatest INXS ROCK songs masterfully covered by the BOSS. I wish I had been at this concert...thx for showing
He did a good job with this. It's quite different. A legend like Bruce covering INXS shows how good a band they were. High praise
OMG....always been a Springsteen fan since the mid 70s growing up in Sydney. Simultaneously
, mega INXS fan.. Thanks Boss, this is an amazing tribute to the lads
Wow! Never thought this band would play INXS . I love this song . One my old favorites.,they are rocking it!!😮
This was a great moment at that gig. Was there. Loved it. Great choice, and great version.
Lucky wanker. Lol
Sooo soooo COOL!! I got the urge to for Don't Change, found INXS and listened then found this. OH MAN, TEARS TO MY EYES TOO!!! Imitation is the HIGHEST COMPLEMENT. Well done Bruce, CLASS ACT.
Stacks better than original.
Igualmente.
Estaba buscando Don't Change y encontré a EL JEFE con este homenaje.
Utterly fantastic..I can't believe I just found this!!! What a tribute.A musical assault that punches you right in the face... stunning.. Michael would be be so proud.It literally is the best song I have ever heard preformed live..bar none!
You fall down the rabbit hole of UA-cam and it leads you to this wonderful oddity.
My heart exploded with pure joy when I discovered this amazing cover of a legendary song!
Absolutely brilliant, Bruce put his heart and soul into this fantastic song , it just looked as if he was reaching out to Michael , well done 👍
Thank you for covering this song Bruce. This is my favourite INXS song and thought it was retired forever.
Man Bruce just nails the feeling of this song! Love both him and INXS what a tribute to MH.
Bruce played his ass off! This tribute was played with the passion it deserved!! Much respect thank you, mind blown!
Yep, blows my mind every time.
Wow! I JUST discovered this incredible tribute from one type of Rock Legend to another type of Rock Legend AND his band!

Get what you mean with the vocals. It just turned epic
Heard this version yesterday as well. Awesome. Been listening last night and today. Such passion
Goosebumps. I came looking for an INXS live version and found this gem. Just imagine being in that Australian audience when you recognize the intro.
You know you're somebody when the Boss covers YOU.
BINGO!
I was just thinking
They ARE Worthy
1000 times over
Says everything
👍

Check out the grinspoon cover
This never gets old. I'm always in shock that INXS was ever on his radar. I always tear up. Bruce feeling it the whole way through, especially at the end.
bruce is always more hip than people rralize. He played Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream" for a whole tour and few got it.
He is very aware of his audience's music. Guy played Friday on My Mind for Australia as well. He chooses his covers pretty carefully.
bruce gets you emotional in some of his songs....philadelphia is one. There wasnt a dry eye in the philly clubs & bars...when it was played. that love song to philly in its darkest hours was like a nuke right in the feels... Bruce IS the BOSS!
INXS was the biggest band in the world for a year or two. He’d know them well.
When the boss covers your song it’s priceless because he must have really liked it
so many years later it holds up....Its a classic for the ages, both vids are awesome too
Yep - and it's almost always better than the original.
Definitely caused some watery eyes . . . what struck me most about this is how much the intensity of the Boss's singing and guitar playing matched the intensity of Hutchence's singing (though obviously a different style). Of the dozen or so times I saw INXS live, it always struck me how powerful of a voice Hutch had, just booming at times. They were a great live band, which makes this tribute from another great live band so fitting.
The start of the song with Bruce's voice and the band is medicine for the heart and blood pressure! A milestone in live performance of this song.
Yep, at the start I thought there would be blood in his throat. FABULOUS!
A Springsteen-esque rocking version of a great INXS hit. What a brilliant tribute. So glad that I was right there up at the stage that night in Sydney to witness it. Remembering Michael Hutchence today, the 20th anniversary of his passing. What a star he was.
The validation one feels when one of your favorite artists covers your favorite tune of one of your other favorite artists
you are right
I LOVE This! Bold, In your face, Wall of guitars and Sax's......How could you go wrong. Thank you, Thank you!! Miss you Michael.
What a wonderful tribute from one of my favorite bands.
Thank you Bruce.
I love the cheers when they realize what Bruce and the guys are about to play.
One of the most beautiful songs done by one of the greatest rock artists. Stunning
My favorite cover version of this song.....Bruce and his band did a fine job with song...Respect people that is what life is all about....
always loved this song by inxs the boss does it complete justice
love when Bruce and the band tear into a song like this..giving it welly,,great tribute to a great rock legend...brilliant..

Has anyone mentioned that Tom Freaking Morello is one of Bruce's backup guitarists here? That jacks up the amazing factor big time!!
I think Tom had played with Bruce at times in the past
YES!
Lol! I just searched through the comments to see if I was losing my mind. 'Holy crap, that looks like Tom Morello!'
Yes!!!! I am wondering he got there??? I was super excited to see him there
I think they get along since RocknRoll hall of fame duo.
Almost as awesome as seeing/hearing it in person :-). Such an amazing concert!!
One of the best INXS covers I have heard! Much respect shown by Bruce, awesome!
I have a whole new level of respect for Bruce now.
Agreed.....
Couldn't have said it better !
Brilliant comment- you said what was in my heart but not yet in words.
Me too!!

This is excellent. It is 100% heartfelt and the musicianship is excellent.
This is just so fucking joyous, I can't help but absolutely love it. Bruce and Tom are so badass, it completely blows me away.

Couldn't agree more.
you can tell this came from Bruce's heart....outstanding!!!
The INXS original was on the pre-show tapes in 1984, near the end right before they would come on. I remember my heart rate would jump just hearing the song come on knowing we were close.
I had forgotten about this amazing version. And hearing the Sydney audience go nuts as soon as they hear the first couple of bars is wonderful.
I mean, not INXS, but damn man. Bruce just gets it. He really does.
He always did when it comes to music. And he has a new album out too!
The Boss gets everything 🤘
He’s one of us- a cool dude who loves good music. Dude was really Vibin this song- he went all in

As a fan of Bruce and INXS, I feel this was a wonderful tribute and show of respect. This had to be a real treat for the crowd.
