- Thank you to our alpha patron Gail H for this great choice... I love seeing these old tv show performances because you get a real good feel of the artist and it feels a tad more intimate then a regular show. I loved this... I live in NY for a year and I miss it a lot. A usually wonderful state and city that is just in the middle of some crazy stuff. I love that city. And Buffalo.... NY is my second home! Billy Joel is one of the best piano players in this genre or anywhere and he can always keep a tune going...

Billy doing his best Ray Charles imitation..
We all know how great Billy's songs were but sometimes we forget he was a fantastic composer and piano player.
incase you didnt notice this is a tribute to Ray Charles and Georgia on my mind
Billy Joel's whole catalog is gold but if I never get to hear anything other than this particular performance till the day I die, I'm happy.
Joel played this live for the televised national concert in support of first responders after 9/11, and a nation wept harder.
Beautifully said!
"I just got de ja vu"
Yep, Billy put you back in a New York state of mind. Talk about a vibe, he doesn't need his little smoke machine, he transports you to a bar below a building on 57th street in Manhattan, and you can smell the bourbon being poured over ice.
Great reaction, Lee, rock on!
Billy's love letter to his home town. Great reaction Lee.
One of the great story tellers!
This man has such an ability to create atmosphere when he performs. Musical artistry.
You need to react to "Prelude/Angry Young Man".
Especially amazing, given he's playing with a broken left thumb (you can see the white bandaging in the video).
He broke it in an accident suffered while he was riding his motorcycle.
Live performance on Long Island.
I was lucky enough to see Billy and Elton in concert together.
Me too. What an experience!
Me too. Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
This is phenomenal! That's my opinion! ❤❤
No one has to convince me about Billy Joel. I still have 5 of his albums on vinyl. But my greatest memory and experience was the tour that he and Elton John did together with their dueling grand piano's facing each other on stage, and even Kiki Deein made an appearence. Billy and Elton, doing their own songs and then doing each other's songs and then doing a few of their songs simultaneously. I've easily done a 100 live concerts in my lifetime ever since 1968. But this was special because it was different. It wasn't like anything I'd seen before and most. Obviously to the greatest Rock hero piano play.
Billy Joel is a super talented artist!
One of my favorite things about Billy Joel is the variety of subjects he sings about. I received Glass Houses for my 16th birthday. Still a favorite.
Love Billy one of the greatest artist of our time! A gift from God, doing what he was created to do! Seems he was channelling Ray Charles. Thanks
I read somewhere that during Covid Billy Joel continued to pay his band, even though they could not work during the shut-down. He knew he had one of the best bands behind him in the business, and he wanted to ensure that they stayed with him for when they could perform again. I always compare Billy Joel to Elton John - many similarities, including those powerhouse musicians behind them. The two of them have even performed together, and are friends. Those songs are definitely a must-see! Great reaction for an awesome song!
Billy Joel is the GOAT! So talented and his song writing is top notch! GOODNIGHT SAIGON is one of my many favorites! Its about Vietnam and every time he sang it, he had veterans on stage with him singing the chorus. Much respect!
I adore that song. The way he articulates the lyrics just adds to the flavor of the song. ...and they were SHARP, as sharp as KNIVES..
Facing the sea, Boston to the left, to the right New York City. The East Coast is just fine. Particularly if you're in a "New York State of Mind"! Peace & Love, and the smog in the air above!
Ahhhh, this was such a great choice Gail ❤
Enjoy the Billy Joel ride. He's a genius..so versatile. Every song is different 😊❤😂🎉😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is a great performance, and it's live! No machines to adjust the pitch (human or instrument)! The quality of the musicianship shines through. On the piano, Billy Joel is masterful. It shows up well in this song. His voice is great in every song. His other musicians are amazing-all of them. I am enjoying and appreciating this one! Thanks for playing it.
Amazing song and performance.
One of the all time great songs of any era. He is portraying Ray Charles in this performance which is his favorite artist. He recorded a song with Ray many years ago! Billy once said he was not crazy about his own voice! Lee you are so right about the music industry and how the corporate people always try to sell a certain image to the fans instead of letting the artists be themselves. That was the case 60 or even 70 years ago too!
Painting a mood with music. Unreal.
What an homage to my fellow Georgian, Ray Charles! DeVito is a helluva drummer.... And Richie could BLOW!
Thanks for the reaction to my all time favorite, Billy Joel. You get it all with Billy, great writing, lyrics, singing, playing and performing. You had the band members right, although I think just Liberty, Richie, Russell and Doug, the regular band members, were there. The others were on the album. This is a great early performance by Billy. At 75 he still gives a great concert to sold out crowds and his voice has gotten even better with age.
Joel is a prolific song writer and has a huge catalog that is well worth diving into. The official video of Goodnight Saigon is a masterpiece!!
If you get to see the greats from the 40-50 s they were alway these Hep Cats that had a smoke and an outsider too cool quality. Those guy were Joel’s heroes . Music the Arts are their own reward, be true to what you love to do
This performance is from 1978 and yes, that is Richie on saxophone.
Captain Jack from his Songs in the Attic live album will rock you
Such a beautiful song
New York! 💕
Being from Queens, NY I love this song and Billy
Did a master thesis on how he incorporates NY& LI into his songs. This was refreshing. My former life. Left NY for AZ @ age 26, permanently. Baby Grand is his duet with Ray Charles.
I was lucky to see Billy Joel three times. He IS the piano man! Another great sax solo to check out, the Big Man Clarence Clemons live in New York on Bruce Springsteen’s “Jungleland”

This is such a dynamic video
Hi LEE.... This concert on TOGWT was from 1978. That was the programme to see serious music back in my day... Album music.. not the hits of the day That isn't a chalk outline of a body in the background.. it is an image from the opening credits and it's a star-kicker, kicking these stars your way...!!
He’s the best of the best!!!
I love his songs AND his renditions of them. When he played with Sir Elton, I was in Heaven! Thank you, Lee ❤
I love NYC too. So much fun and a lot to see. 😊
Side Note: Billy was born on Long Island (about 40 minutes outside New York City). He often records shows in the New York metro, at either the Nassau Coliseum, or in The City at Madison Square Garden. He's a New Yorker through and through, and when he sings songs like "New York State Of Mind" or "I Saw The Lights Go Out On Broadway", he's singing from the heart, and he's often singing to his people, there in New York. It's a wonderful synergy.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎thank you!
Lord, he was cool!
Best version of this song (imho)
Thanks for this one. Never listened to him much, but if he has more this good it’s time to start.
Another great pick Gail. One of my favorite Billy Joel songs, the piano and sax are great! Heard you say you lived in Buffalo for a couple of months Lee. Have lived here my whole life. A great place to be!
Yup I lived there in the winter of 2017 lol lots of snow. Learned to drive in the snow there for sure. Thank you for watching my friend!
Lee i''m a born and raised New yorker my parents had a house in Putnam lake 10 mins on rte 6 to Brewster lived there for 5 years after leaving NYC in 1979 and then returning afer getting married and living in westchester county Mt Vernon right next to the Bronx. I love NY and miss it but it has changed alot since i was lived there. I live in maryland now I know you lived here too.
Love this one.
Me too, fellow Lee. This was awesome.
Check out the duet he did with Tony Bennett at Shea Stadium. Last concert before they closed the home of the Mets and the famous Beatles appearance in '65.
Good bless William Martin Joel ... - my favorite album is 52ND STREET, favorite song GOOD NIGHT, SAIGON. 🙏🏻❤
Your reaction was extremely intelligent and insightful. Subscribed.
It is so satisfying
I never saw this live performance ... very nice
So many great hits from Billy it is hard to pick one but I love the lyrics to Only the Good Die Young. So fun and so real to life. For serious sincerity, try And So It Goes.
Try his River Of Dreams for an entirely different side of his voice. He is an amazingly versatile talent.
Billy joel "live" sempre una goduria
Check out his RUclips version of "Hey Girl" written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Gorgeous!
That is Richie Cannata! :)
as a fellow long islander I love Billy, but my love for New York is fading fast...
Come on people "Good Night Saigon next?
I CAN NEVER LIVE TO FAR AWAY FROM NY
I love the "Turnstiles" album (it's in my top 20), but me listening to it repeatedly had an odd side effect: everyone assumed I was a big Billy Joel fan, and kept giving me more of his albums (seven, in fact, by the time they were done). All had some good-to-great songs on them, but there were none I wanted to keep listening to all the way through, and I was (and am) mainly an album listener, so they sat on the shelf. And I kept on listening to "Turnstiles"...
"Uptown Girl" -- tribute to "The Four Seasons".
virtuoso
La maggior parte ... Specialmente i più giovani... Seguo no la musica seguendo mode o personaggi eccentrici .... Piano Man è tutto talento e musicalità ... Il più completo in assoluto
This is a great song. I love NYC too🗽💗
Turnstiles is my favourite BJ album. Amazing album.
Check out “Captain Jack” sometime in your future. 🍻🖖
Liberty Devito is in a percussionist lane all his own. That’s not Ritchie on Sax in that performance. Find as many live clips as you can from the sweet spot in Billy’s career. Btw, he played Shea Stadium the night before it was torn down. Perfect message sent for a Long Island kid to play for the home crowd. Checkout the song he wrote for, and recorded with Ray Charles (in Ray’s style) called “Baby Grand.” It’s a must.
Actually, it is Richie Cannata
I think, if you've ever really loved a woman, his _She's always a woman_ is one hell of a song.
The stranger.
He says he loves HAVING WRITTEN songs, but he hates WRITING them.
Talking about them, don't know if you ever did Gary Moore, "Still got the blues". Just to know what a guitarist can feel...

No disrespect to the great Elton .He’s the Rocket Man. NOT the PIANO MAN
Comment. 🙂
No disrespect to any of Billy Joel's excellent musicians, but nothing matches Richie Cannata's sax and Liberty DeVitto's percussion.
Billy Joel is incredibly talented. And I'm happy to report that nobody I associate with cares in the least. He is just not it. Just not.
Cringe showboating
Can';t stand Billy Joel. Pass.
Me neither but this is one nice performance. Jazz Club…
