"Michael, come out and sing one with me please." Watch American icons Bruce Springsteen and Michael Stipe collaborate on a cover of Patti Smith's Because The Night and perform R.E.M. deep cut Bad Day

The 2004 Vote For Change tour, featuring music legends like Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., and Pearl Jam, aimed to encourage voter registration and participation in swing states for the US presidential election. Despite the star-studded lineup and calls to support Senator John Kerry, incumbent President George W. Bush was re-elected. The tour did showcase historic collaborations, including Springsteen joining R.E.M. on stage for performances of "Man On The Moon" and "Bad Day." The impact of the concerts on the election outcome remains uncertain, but the tour highlighted the power of voter engagement and responsibility.
