    that was great, but they should have left mellencamp, etheridge and sting home and had eddie do more songs ;)

    I don't agree at all. Yes, Ed's performance was excellent and the highlight for me, but.....

    Mellencamp is an important American singer/songwriter. Way overlooked IMO. He deserved to be there.

    Melissa's best work is behind her but she also deserved a spot.... seeing as how she's the female Bruce ;) .

    And Sting? Not a huge fan, but his performance was good. Of course, he got the benefit of the "best" song. I kinda expected everyone to come back on stage at that point.

    I was wondering.... do you think Sting, JCM, Etheridge and Ed were accquainted prior to this? Also, it's amazing how comfortable Ed has become with fame (as opposed to the early 90's Ed).
    If I had known then what I know now...

    I have a HD copy that's pretty much complete.
    Ed's My City of Ruins performance is fully there from start to finish & the show.
    Without commericals: 1 hour 31 minutes.

    interesting to see mellencamp do born in the usa in such an obvious political forum ... eddie proves yet again what makes him special ... his ability to deliver the sould of song with such honesty and truth ...
