Tom Morello's incredible solo is definitely perfect. Even the tiny error or two I noticed, doesn't matter. The rest of it is so incredibly good it's perfect. The beauty in how he plays, the nuances, the way he rides the effects mixed with how he's playing to create some perfect layers that sound awesome. Very fluid and amazing. Incredible guitar playing at its best.

Mindyou ol Bruce has a few mean licks in here too. I'm distinctively hearing pinch harmonics in there, and that is a seriously difficult technique to pull off reliably (I say that as 30+yr guitarist who used to teach). Both great world class artists here, would have been a great show to see. Tom Morello with Bruce and E Street band, what a combo! edit: Holy shit Tom's solo at the end is wild.

I'm 53, I grew up with Bruce, "Born in the USA" an awesome anthem, But I think this video showed me who he truly was. And I love Tom too, he gives a lot to charity, They both care and want to save us.

It really is magical. I'll never forget the moment I saw this on HBO years ago. I even remember how sunny it was that day the memory is so clear. I was just randomly watching the Rock and roll Hall of Fame concert on HBO enjoying the music but this song came on and I was absolutely floored. It was incredible. I knew right away it's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen in music. His skills are phenomenal. It's just stunning. Emotionally he hits all the right beats with the solos. The tone is incredible. The solos are so emotional and take you on a ride and it's thoroughly enjoyable. Even the back and forth with Bruce, the other band members watching him in amazement. If people only see one song Tom Morello has played, this is the performance you show them. He's absolutely incredible here.

Incredible. Man, what a difference from the version on the album of the same name (1995). Bruce can do that with almost any song. He can play the classic, "Incident on 57th Street" (1973) as on the album. I'd call it soft rock. Acoustically, alone on the piano or guitar. Or as a full band anthem. And they're all great. I hope he's around for a long time, but when he's gone, it'll be a hundred years, if ever, before there's another Bruce Springsteen.

WOW! That was f'n amazing! So powerful. I've followed Bruce since his first album, loved it when he matured and began sharing thoughts and expressions of more adult themes, touching on social justice and equality. Loved the way he framed his characters on backdrops of slices of life. He's become the true voice of the American landscape, our struggles, our accomplishments, our hopes and our potential. This is Bruce at his most powerful. And Morello from Rage Against the Machine, a perfect sideman to Bruce in every respect. Loved it.

I don't know what's more surprising to me in this rendition: those guitar solos by Bruce, or the singing by Tom. I haven't seen Bruce doing many solos at all, I guess usually those are the moments for Steven or Nils to shine. And of course we all know Tom can do crazy stuff on the guitar, but he actually has a pretty distinct voice and style of singing, that fits this song perfectly. But still, every guitarist on that stage must be wondering how on earth he is creating those sounds :-)
