From 2:40 - 2:60. The guest, the uncomfortable pause, the Hal Gurnee cut away to abject confusion, Letterman's reaction... That 20 seconds defines the Late Night years.
Luv that they showed Billy during the commercial breaks. Also cool that Billy brought along his 70's & 80's lead guitarist David Brown. His guitar licks on "Matter of Trust" & "This is the Time" were pure ear candy. Sadly he passed away this past August (2024). He will be missed.
I'd love to hear Billy's memory of this night. He's usually a good interview. I assume this was the only time he sat in with the band for an entire talk show.
Seeing all of the interstitial music being played is some of the best stuff I've seen on this channel... and then Brother Theodore appeared. This is quintessential Late Night. Thank you, keepers of Dave's Archives.
Thank you - this takes me right back to my freshman year of college! Billy Joel tore it up and he fit right in with the WMDB - my professional musician role models - and with Late Night. I especially appreciate the editing of this video; thank you for including the bumpers and all of Billy's moments!
Thank you! Thought I recognized him. Billy Joel's Live From Long Island concert video first introduced me to all his bandmates, was trying to remember the guitarist!
Dear editor of this channel, I would be extremely grateful if you would post a recording from the show where Belinda Carlisle was a guest and where she sang the song DO YOU FEEL LIKE I FEEL, as well as the accompanying interview. The episode is from October 1991. Thanks in advance and best wishes to you. Steve.
@@ME-uk4ueThank you for the advice. I changed the contents of the texts, that is, the requests, but obviously no one cares. I would love to see how you would do it.
@@ME-uk4ue Listen... I understand what you want to say. I repeat: Thank you for the advice. This is about the fact that the editor or the one who strictly monitors the comments, is simply not interested in making a single concession to someone who has been following this channel for years. If they wanted to, they could have done it a few years ago. They recently uploaded some footage of Belinda Carlisle from 1986. No one claimed it. They decided so. So they don't care about the pleas of loyal viewers, in this case me. They have archived all of her show appearances, but for some reason they won't share them with fans. The video I just mentioned has almost 80K views and tons of pathetic comments. NONE of the fans mentioned that they would like to see more of her performances in this show. They just wrote nonsense about how they were in love with her and how she was the most beautiful in the world. When I copy-paste my request, NO ONE leaves a supportive comment, only a few give a "thumbs up". Understand me?
Tonight is his final residency show at Madison Square Garden. He's been doing a show a month for something like the past 10 years. I was there at the Nassau Coliseum the night they "retired his jersey number" for having a long run of sold out shows over several years. At the time, 12 shows seemed like a big number.😂
Ah, timely as ever. Tonight is his last residency show at Madison Square Garden. Thanks, Billy, our hometown hero! Long Island loves you!
Whew
10 years and 150 shows. Amazing!
Thank you for including the epic Brother Theodore cutaway to Billy and Paul!!!
No finer example of “The Gurnee Touch.”
@@kreegull I just left a similar comment. So thankful someone else recognized the moment.
I remember when this originally aired... I thought that was the funniest cutaway I ever saw! Hal Gurnee was a master.

the great Brother Theodor! 😂😂😂
@@taztaztaz "Is that a banlon shirt?"
BILLY JOEL THE GREAT!
The late, great, Brother Theodore.
The cutaway is hilarious
One of my favorite Joel songs. ❤❤❤❤
That's a great song! Boy do I miss that show, and those times.
Man, they were a phenomenal band.
Luv that they showed Billy during the commercial breaks. Also cool that Billy brought along his 70's & 80's lead guitarist David Brown. His guitar licks on "Matter of Trust" & "This is the Time" were pure ear candy. Sadly he passed away this past August (2024). He will be missed.
Fantastic performance of a fantastic song, by a fantastic performer.
Anton on drums!!! Band was on fire!
What a fabulous visitor Billy Joel!❤
Crazy how, for a few years there, Billy Joel and Michael Keaton were the same guy.
Then he became Danny Devito.
Bat 🦇 Man ♂️😐🥃
I thought the same thing. Keaton wished he could play the piano and organ like that.
The eighties were very very good to Billy.
This is a snapshot of ultimate cool of everyone!! Love you Mr Billy Joel, Love you Mr Paul Shaffer, Love you Mr. Letterman, the best!😍🥰😍
I'd love to hear Billy's memory of this night. He's usually a good interview. I assume this was the only time he sat in with the band for an entire talk show.

Awesome performance.
And that’s David Brown on guitar. Incredible player and lead guitarist for the Billy Joel band from 1978-1991!
Thank you! Thought I recognized him. Billy Joel's Live From Long Island concert video first introduced me to all his bandmates, was trying to remember the guitarist!
Billy Joel & Brother Theodore on the same show, as the universe always intended!
You know you're somebody when Paul makes you touch his piano. :)
"organ" would have been the perfect double entendre.
Cool seeing him play B3
Standing Ovation. That band was in the groove.
The days of good music
Billy and Paul at 2:52:
“Well … this is awkward.”
Billy makes it look so easy.
Finally some Billy content!
Legend! Congrats Billy.
The Omni Berkshire Place looks nice.And that guy can really sing
Miss this show so much
great performance they forgot to fade his mic up for his count in come on guys that's why we do a rehearsal :)
Of course, Billy Joel. Who else he would let play. 😊
Brother Theodore with a cameo.
Anytime is the right time for Brother Theodore! Quadrupedalism for life!
The Rascals' "Come On Up" going into the break at 0:46.
I think Paul has more hair than Billy does now. Who would have thunk it.
Rest in peace, David Brown.
LOL - I love Billy....but the Brother Theodore snippet made the video 🤣
Brother Theodore!
Omni Berkshire is one swank pad!
Rad!
The only Billy Joel performance I like is when he turns the piano over and beats the stage with the mic stand.
good!
Classic Hal Gurnee cutaway
Nice! But the great Theodore?

Who is that guest
Brother Theodore. He was a frequent guest in the Late Night days. He did a one man show off Broadway. I always got a kick out of him
---------------‐------‐---- w/public alert service bulletin .....thx....ok

RIP to the "Piano Man". Hopefully the angels in God's ethereal plane are in the mood for a melody tonight.
He's not dead. He's just ending his MSG residency.
This joke no longer works as they put “Remembering” in the thumbnail now for people who just died.
@@thefonzkissThank you for clearing that up
Is Billy Joel dead???
I asked myself the same !
Thankfully, no. He did just finish a long run at MSG.

His Madison show is dead.

Did he die? Please tell me that he died.
its obvious your brain died long ago
No. His guitarist David Brown did. RIP David.
he’s a cat?
