Watch Musicares Person of the Year: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen

Musicares Person of the Year: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen is a concert film from 2014 that gives fans a front-row seat to one of the most memorable musical nights in recent history. Starring the legendary musician and his closest friends, including Jon Stewart, Elton John, Neil Young, and Sting, the film explores the life and music of one of America's most beloved songwriters.

The concert, which took place in Los Angeles, was organized by the MusiCares Foundation, and featured some of the biggest names in music, all gathered together to pay tribute to Springsteen, who was being honored for his humanitarian work and artistic contributions to the world. The event was a perfect showcase of Springsteen's enduring appeal, with rock, folk, and pop stars alike offering their own takes on his songs.

The concert kicks off with a rousing rendition of "Adam Raised a Cain," performed by the man himself, accompanied by his E Street Band. From there, the film takes us through a nearly three-hour setlist, with artists taking turns performing their own versions of Springsteen's classics, as well as a few lesser-known tracks.

One standout performance comes from Tom Morello, guitar god and former Rage Against the Machine member, who puts his signature sound on the ballad "The Ghost of Tom Joad." The result is an absolutely electrifying performance, with Morello's soaring guitar lines punctuating Springsteen's mournful lyrics.

Another unforgettable tribute comes from Patti Smith, who performs "Because The Night," a song she co-wrote with Springsteen back in the day. Smith's voice is still as powerful as ever, and seeing her share the stage with Springsteen is a testament to their bond as collaborators and friends.

The concert is interspersed with short interview segments featuring musicians and celebrities talking about their love for Springsteen and his music. One standout moment features Bruce's wife, Patti Scialfa, recalling how she first met him at a club in New Jersey. Her joy and admiration for her husband is palpable, and adds a touching personal element to the film.

As the night goes on, the energy in the room builds and builds, culminating in a raucous finale featuring all the performers on stage together. Seeing Elton John, Emmylou Harris, and Mumford & Sons all belting out "Born to Run" is a surreal and joyful experience, a testament to the power and timelessness of Springsteen's music.
