I should only type I've seen parts of it. Recorded it last night and watched parts of it. I think one of the most interesting things about shows like this is to see how an artist interprets another musicians work in their own way. The most interesting ones I saw were those artists that sort of went their own way with what they had to work with. For example, Mumford and Son's did what I took to be a spectacular version of I'm On Fire. To be honest, I think their cover version was better than the original Jim James and Tom Morello did a grand version of The Ghost of Tom Joad. One person that really impressed me (and I simply do not care for this musician at all) was that of Kenny Chesney when he did One Step Up. I'm not kidding...current manufactured country music turns my stomach, but watching this performance did remind me that whether you like a particular music artist or strongly dislike one, the person is probably pretty talented. Sadly, Neil Young and Crazy Horse's performance of Born in The USA was sort of stressful to watch. The members of Crazy Horse looked so frail that I thought they were going to break. On a hopeful note, I was watching the unrecorded version of this when my DVR recorded kicked me off and only saw part of this performance and am hoping the end of it far exceeds the part I saw.
