Your so right! Billy in 2022 still sounds great and even though I also love Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi as well, Billy's voice has aged much better! BJ and the band put on a hell of a show even in 2022!!!
Songs: 00:01 - Prelude/Angry Young Man 05:55 - Allentown 10:46 - Goodnight Saigon 18:03 - Big Man On Mulberry Street 23:59 - Baby Grand 29:49 - A Matter of Trust 34:31 - Only The Good Die Young 38:17 - Entrance to Uptown Girl 39:19 - Uptown Girl 42:24 - Big Shot 47:39 - Back to U.S.S.R.
Amazing versions of Allentown (in particular) and Goodnight Saigon. And it's also really interesting that Billy chose to play those songs - and explain them beforehand - as a way of bridging the vast gap between himself and a Soviet audience that otherwise might not have had any meaningful connection to the music.
I'll never forget being on this tour 18 alongside my husband Billy his wife daughter team and meeting an amazing man aka the clown what a special friendship formed. I stand in solidarity with all of you in Russia 🇷🇺 for rising your lives and protested this horrifying 😢 war. I have amazing friends in Russia. I stand by the the poor innocent people children and elderly people in the Ukraine 🇺🇦. Billy needs to really do this song every single day. Amazing of you who posted this because you brought me back to the most amazing moments . Blessed be to you all.
@@Rusty-o1i Yeah, you should really try it sometime. Er, the knowledge that is, not the "booger sugar". This was from 1987 prior to the Cold War ending, when very few Western and especially American musicians played in the former Soviet Union, and Billy funded the tour himself at a cost of $3 million and so was excited and eager to play there. A little knowledge goes a long way, as they say !!!!
@seanscanlon9067 speaking of knowledge maybe u should educate yourself rather than run ur neck on a topic u know nothing about!!! Billy Joel has talked openly about his drinking n drugging ya moron!!!!
This edit is weird. At times it seems to actually follow continuity between audio and video (better than the 2014 release), but then there are weird fades/flashes to random out-of-order moments as if it’s trying to be a music video.
Matthew - Billy Joel Bootlegs idk, I haven’t seen this whole show, but it sounds to me like “Big Man” comes from Moscow (matches the first night radio recording).
The freak out show was the first show of this specific leg, July 26, I believe. This is a completely different show. This is the one that's on the official Billy Joel channel, remastered and all over there. The camera angles are the same.
Typical Billy live....giving 110% even at 72 he still rocking out

Makes you wonder what more we have in common with each other.

FANTASTICZNY WYKONAWCA W FANTASTYCZNEJ MUZYVXNRJ PODRÓŻY ❤ LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤DZIĘKUJĘ BARDZO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉
観られてよかったです!
Ah yes my favorite timestamp, "later".
I pray for guns and roses often
36:00 props to that security guard, who was watching Billy Joel and reacted immediately when he saw fans trying to attack Billy
They were not trying to attack him.
45:59 I assume this was sometimes a fantasy, poor keyboard
Yeah, i didn't know he did that to it as well. Sad, it was a cool yamaha CP70/80 stage piano.
44:14 round 2
Awesome
For a moment..
I’m sure some of this concert was remastered for the 2014 release.
Yep, was remastered for 2014 but was mixed with all shows. (Most of the songs in the 2014 release are from Leningrad)
There is so much in this video the was not in the 2014 release. From jumping on the flipped piano to the pouring of the Bouquets.
Weird that he didn't play Leningrad at Leningrad, but I guess it kind of makes sense
He wrote it after he went.
@@EileenNguyen24 I know, I was just saying that it was odd he didn’t perform Leningrad at Leningrad
Someone, please, tell me the name of the first song, that piano play was on fire, damn
Angry Young Man
@@HammerTime5150-m4i, Thanks❤
Prelude
Soviets get weak in the knees... It's just Rock! And they're in. Billy Joel in Russia ! 🇺🇸🛡️⚔️
The booger sugar was soooo good back in the day huh Billy???
It is called natural adrenaline.
These were going to be historically significant concerts at the time and that was all he needed to get up for them.
@seanscanlon9067 oh really??? Wow the knowledge on you !!!!

@@seanscanlon9067 right on you naive douche!!!!

I always get Angry Young Man and Billy the Kid confused because they sound similar with the piano
I used to confuse Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (the ballad of Brenda and Eddie) with Angy Young Man
great show. but where is honesty and stiletto?
There's no recording or at least they don't put them on this release.
@@MatthewBillyJoelBootlegs ah alright thank you!
This edit is weird. At times it seems to actually follow continuity between audio and video (better than the 2014 release), but then there are weird fades/flashes to random out-of-order moments as if it’s trying to be a music video.
This edit is actually from Leningrad shows. Not as the 2014 release, that includes the Moscows shows.
Matthew - Billy Joel Bootlegs idk, I haven’t seen this whole show, but it sounds to me like “Big Man” comes from Moscow (matches the first night radio recording).
Is this the freakout show? What’s the dates on that? Anyone got the full concert?
The freak out show was the first show of this specific leg, July 26, I believe.
This is a completely different show. This is the one that's on the official Billy Joel channel, remastered and all over there. The camera angles are the same.
Iirc, Moscow is the concert he flipped the piano and broke the stand.
The shows are: August 2, 3 and 5.
@@MatthewBillyJoelBootlegs correction, the freak out show was July 27, thanks to some magazine snippets I found.
Does anyone have the full performance of Billy doing that?
Seems to me , we are all the same, after all we come from either , Japheth ,Ham or Shem , sons of Noah!
Trump sounds grandiose
Ridiculous
