    The performance here is from 1982 when Billy was promoting his The Nylon Curtain album.
    He had recently recovered from a motorcycle accident at the time after a car had run into him, resulting in a broken wrist on one hand and broken thumb on the other, where he had to have the bone removed from the tip and needed it taped up to support it, which is why he was shaking out his hand at times.
    Richie Cannata played saxophone on the studio recording of this song, but he had left Billy's band by the time of this concert and was replaced by Mark Rivera who was the newbie band member here, but is now the only one from this performance who is still in Billy's band.

    This show was from 1982. A few months before he had a horrific motorcycle accident that crushed his thumb on his left hand and destroyed his wrist on his right. That’s why his hand was cramping up. The sax player in the video is Mark Rivera (Richie played on the album and left the band in 81). 40 years later and Mark is still his sax player. Saw them in January. Great as ever. Thanks for the reaction.

He actually had a really bad motorcycle accident earlier in the year where he badly injured his wrists and hands... he was still recovering when he finished recording and ultimately touring The Nylon Curtain album there in 1982.
    Here was the lineup for this classic show:
    Billy Joel - Vocals, Piano
    Liberty DeVitto - Drums
    Doug Stegmeyer - Bass, Vocals
    Russell Javors - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
    David Brown - Lead Guitar
    Mark Rivera - Saxophones, Vocals

    Dereck!!! Where's this going? What's next? Brilliant comments. There are a LOT of Billy Joel pieces I call "pieces," because calling them songs is almost insulting. He does a lot of this where he's not afraid to put together what might be three songs for another writer. And the thing is he not only wrote the music, but he wrote the lyrics, sings the song like that's all he does, and he plays the piano better than other artists who are considered good piano players. I don't know anyone who outplays Joel.
    Your reaction is why your channel is so much fun. You don't know where this is going? Exactly. Whatever formulaic is, this ain't it. Oh, almost forgot; the entire life of Brenda and Eddie is played out in the lyrics.

By 1982 after The Stranger Album Tour & SNL + American Bandstand performances, it was no more Local Clubs on the Island, Grad Parties or Bar/Bat Mitzvahs for the Piano Man. 🤷🏿‍♀️ Same with Bruce Springsteen on the real Jersey Shore he be singing about. 😒 Not that fake MTV crap.
