Limp Bizkit have been playing their unique version of the Who's “Behind Blue Eyes” during live shows since 1971. Who is next 2003 classic Results may vary album. On Friday night at the Welcome to Rockville festival at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, Fred Durst and company had a little help tackling the cover during their headlining set.
After the orange-hat-wearing singer/rapper Durst belted out the opening verses of “Eyes” with the crowd, he asked them, “You feel me?” and then begged the audience to help him find “an angel” to save them. “I want you to help me pray now. Pray for an angel. I need an angel. I need an angel to come out here and save me,” Durst said. “I mean anything. Drop something from the sky. I don't care what it is, just come out here please my sweet angel. Get out here and save your brother Freddy D!”.
After a few more pleas to “save me,” Jelly Roll appeared on stage, waving his cowboy hat at the stunned crowd as the “Save Me” singer belted out a verse of the song over a backup acoustic guitar arrangement. Durst interjected, “ladies and gentlemen, the angel has come!”, before the two men sang the final chorus of “behind the blue eyes” together and hugged it out from the center of the stage.
Bizkit's version of “Behind Blue Eyes” reached No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2004.
In a video posted over the weekend, Jelly was seen hanging out with Durst backstage, with the Bizkit boss saying: “Every once in a while you get blessed and meet an angel,” as the camera panned to Jelly, who added: ” An oversized one, baby, with a black hat like Johnny Cash!”
