I went down a YouTube rabbit hole tonight. Along the way I came across this phenomenal (IMO) and unexpected version of “Because The Night” by Bruce Springsteen and Michael Stipe.
What unusual live co-appearances have you enjoyed?

That’s a great example. (Although I can’t help thinking RDJ was mimicking Sting…) Still, shockingly good!
