    A beautiful masterpiece about the very worst day. Only Bruce could create an album arc that drives deep the pain, the horror, that unequalled test of us all to watch and witness. And, in doing that, he found the rebirth that often accompanies such loss. Sting did great, here.

    Can’t stop looking and at a true president the grace respect and love the Obamas have for the world is one of a kind
    He will always be 1 one of the greatest presidents ever I believe he did what was best for the majority for all people not just a select few
    The grace and calm of the obamas is true leader ship

    I'm struck by the way Sting sings this song, often with his eyes downward in a way that feels humble and reflective as befitting the nature of the song. He is in service to the song rather than the song being in service to him. It suits him very well. A beautiful tribute to Bruce and to the firefighters.

      @John Pouw Well I have seen President Trump during the September 11th remembrance service last year and both he and Melania were very classy, graceful and respectful. Besides thanking First Responders for their *heroic* actions, Trump ended up praising Americans in general who rose up to the occasion, donated blood, food and clothes and went searching for the missing etc. Not to forget thanking and Blessing our troops for their actions against Terrorism since. So you *know* it is not all black-and-white.

    Springsteen deserves all honours for his work as an artist, yet, if you can have Sting, for a tribute to your music, wow! - that is truely great! Fantastic piece this! Praise for the choir also!

      His history as a musician encompassed so many different areas from let's kill Stewart Copeland through jazz though Elizabethan music .... of course I respect both musicians!!!!! If I'm not wrong I think Barack Obama and Springsteen have a book coming out Renegades which is not out in my library yet based on a podcast together. The way he humoured Seinfeld no apologies for not appreciating comedy ... about nothing ... Netflix comedians in cars with coffee etc. was hilarious. "You realize there are men with guns out there protecting me just in case you go slightly too far" I am paraphrasing big time will rent again to check it out, cheered me up. best wishes!!

    I just can't imagine how it must feel with someone else singing one of your songs. And all of those powerful people looking at you. And they are all on their feet applauding you. And the president of the United States sitting right next to you. SEEING THIS YO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN YOU GAVE US ALL SO MUCH OF YOURSELF. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GIVEN US AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE US. YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER I PRAY THAT YOU COULD ALWAYS BE HERE FOR A WORLD THAT TRULY DOES LOVE YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. THE BOSS

    What I loved about Bruce during all of these performances, is that he sat and listened. He was extremely humble and gracious to those honoring him. Others like Paul McCartney and Elton John were singing their own songs and being a bit over the top. Bruce stayed in the moment and showed why he's the BOSS!

    Has anyone ever noticed the woman sitting behind Bruce and Mel Brooks at the end? She just burst into tears. That's what a great song can do.

    Rousing! Love that Bruce looks amused, but not overjoyed. Enjoying himself, but not experiencing a career highlight as it might be for other artists. Also nice to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman again.

    At first when you see Bruce Springsteen react as the song started you seen the look of someone that wanted to be on stage playing. As it goes on it's great to see Bruce reacting to the song in the same fashion as the MILLIONS of us fans do when we get to hear it live. He felt what we feel!
