After the "hits," 52nd Street really gets cranked up with Zanzibar, Stiletto, Rosalinda's Eyes, Until the Night are all epically great.
"Big Shot"?
Brilliant move…an underrated gem from Billy. Hands down my favorite on 52nd Street!
One of nine reasons why Billy Joel's " 52nd Street " album is his best
Billy Joel was like a King on Long Island
Great song with brilliant lyrics. Who hasnt been this guy before.
She cuts you out, she cuts you down
She carves up your life
But you won't do nothng
As she keeps on cutting
'Cause you know you love the knife
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause you deep down want some more
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto,
You don't really mind the pain
That percussion sound that sounds like finger snapping is supposed to represent the click sound of The Italian switchblade called stiletto 😏 just a little fun fact
This song is sharp....I always loved it.
It cuts...like a knife.
I see what you did there 😏
Billy Joel and Elton defined 70's era piano rock. The best!
Went to my high school. Billy a Long Island legend Always gives back to community
Don't forget the drummer! I love that neat hi hat/snare work.
This was the first 8-track cassette I'd ever owned. It was 1978, I was 17 and I had an old under dash 8-track player in my 1973 Chevy Nova and I played the HELL out of it. To this day, "Stiletto" REMAINS my all-time favorite Billy Joel song‼️🧔🏻👍❤️
You may be the only ones to do this song ! Thank you . try Captain Jack , an earlier one of his
Genius.
My favorite Billy song! So jazzy and groovy.
Hi gentlemen. Love your channel. My suggestion is to listen to the entire 52nd St. album. In my humble opinion, one of the best albums of the 1970s. It didn't win album of the year at the Grammys for nothing!😎👍👍
Thanks for rocking with us. I think we will have to do this whole album. This is a banger!!
@@AirplayBeats I have a feeling that you'll know a few tracks off this Masterpiece album .Thanks for your comments. Keep up the great work. You're very enjoyable to watch & listen to.🙂👍👍
@@AirplayBeats Hi again.When you gentlemen listen to the whole 52nd St. album by Billy Joel, just start listening to The Stranger by Joel. The Stranger came out a year before 52nd St. Having 2 highly successful albums released back to back was not an easy thing to do.If I was to take an educated guess, I'd say Elton John, the Stones,& Stevie Wonder have done it.And all were done in the 70s! Have a great weekend gentelmen🙂👍
Rosalind eyes was a hot track on here as well
Keep going with Billy Joel, you can't lose!
This whole album is fantastic, well worth a full album review!
Guys your reaction was dope. In 1978 I was 10 yrs old and would sit on the carpet of our den and listen to 52nd street for hours and hours every day after school reading every lyric on the inside jacket cover. Somehow I realized at that age Billy was a genius and as I got older I went back and bought his first album cold spring harbor, piano man and eventually everyone one through river of dreams in 1993. So glad even 50 yrs later the world is discovering songs like stilleto, honesty, Zanzibar, half a Mile away, Rosalinda’s eyes all from this album beyond his hits of big shot and my life from 52nd street. He has one more song from this LP that he almost never performs but will blow you away. It’s one of his best songs ever I feel (from 100’s of top songs). It’s called “Until the Night”. Do a reaction to his live performance from Long Island and most will see how talented musicians rarely band together these days to form an incredible group. And the song is just incredible genius too. Keep up the great reactions from this 305 area code born and raised kid.
The lyrics are brilliant - just needed to add to the conversation. Nice work as always gentlemen, thanks!
The piano made me forget what I was going to say about the lyrics 😂
@@AirplayBeatsI hear you on that! Lol. Billy’s piano playing ability is mind blowing 🤯
Nice to see 52nd St. get some love. The Stranger gets all the attention, but this follow up is just as good.
He was the last performer to play at the old NY Mets Stadium. The next morning they were tearing it down. That concert video is available with surprise guest Paul McCartney. Billy had one of the great closing statement he always gave to his audiences everywhere. He would say “Thanks for coming tonight and remember, don’t take shit off anyone!” Now that’s a guy who grew up in New York! This is one of Billy’s finest albums. His drummer Liberty Devito is worth the price of admission, as he’s one of the great showman and hard hitter’s in Pro Music. Also, his sax player is Top Shelf who can hold his own with the best. I believe David Brown Jr is one of the guitarists used for this Tour. His albums, 52nd Street and The Stranger were made when this group was at its peak with a harder edge. Any concert vids from late 70’s are some of the best shows period. Especially when he plays Rootbeer Rag to intro one of his songs. Those who know, know. 🤘😎
I have always liked this deep cut. Great album front to back.
I remember buying this album when it first came out when I was a kid. It blew me away. IMHO, it's a Masterpiece. But I'm not gonna lie ... that album cover had me believing for years that Billy could play the trumpet. :-)
Billy Joel's 52nd Street album was the very first compact disc released for sale to the public on Oct. 1, 1982 in Japan. I was fortunate enough to see this concert live. Billy's music is in my DNA.
Finally, a reaction to Stiletto! One of my favorites. Of all the reactors I follow who've been on Billy Joel kicks, nobody has touched the deeper cuts (haha, pun not intended). So glad you checked this out and heard the source of the hip hop samples. Until I started watching these videos I had no idea that hip hop artists sampled Billy Joel's music, of all people! I think that's great.
Check out Harribest. He has done over 40 Billy Joel reactions.
@@jamishops oh yeah, Harri of course! I can always rely on him for a good Billy Joel song. I think the "problem" is that Billy has had so many hits that it takes a while to get to the album tracks!
So glad you played this outstanding song. It’s nothing short of brilliant in every way. You two are awesome.
🕊❤️🎼
I love all of your thoughtful reactions! And he definitely makes the piano into a rock and roll instrument. 52nd Street won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1980 I think. For something a little different try “Pressure”, “A Matter of Trust” or “Honesty.”
Yeah guys,to me his best album,so many bangers, and songs in the groove.
This might be my favorite Billy Joel. Excellent pianist. Thanks for an excellent reaction fellas 👌
This album is 🔥. Won album of the year in 1978. So many great songs. You should review the whole album
Any wonders that Billy Joel and Elton John did a series of shows together a few years back, sorry i miss them
The whole album is a great!
Zanzibar is my favorite off this killer album.
The Yankees steal the headlines every time!
It's heartening to see the love and respect you have for each other--respectful disagreement based on good rationale on both sides. One of the best examples of this between you was when you reacted to The Weight by the Band and The Staples and Che says the Levon Helms' drums were set up just like his--and said to La, I know you might not notice how my drums are set up, but La says immediately that he notices (my dear friend!--but without those words added). Nothing better on reaction channels than authenticity combined with thoughtfulness and kindness. As we used to say when I was young--keep on keepin' on.
Thanks for rocking with us my friend!!
It's been a very long time since I've listened to this song, and I've learned a bit about jazz in that interval. I now realize that what Joel is doing with his left hand, particularly in the bridge, is what's called stride piano, where the left hand does the work of the bass. This is a style of jazz piano that arose in the 1920s, I think, practiced by James P. Johnson, Art Tatum and Fats Waller. But when I bought this album back in 1978, I had no idea clue what stride piano was.
Another great Billy Joel song is "Angry Young Man"...pure energy‼️
Live 😜
I like how you guys really listen to the songs. Peace.
Kool g rap used the piano loop for road to the riches 🔥🔥
I know serious metal heads that will stop what they are doing and listen to this song when it comes on.
Ya got to give the drummer some fellas 7:08
More Kansas please! One of the greatest prog bands in the world. You can never tire of it, particularly their first 8 albums. Thanks!
Piano Man unico artista che solo gioielli nel repertorio ... Consiglio però di vederlo sempre "live" 🎹👏🎹👏
I love this song!
Billy Joel is from my hometown Hicksville Long Island. My sister went to HS with him. Billy Joel is the face of Long Island 😊
Need more BJ songs
i was wondering if he lived near you.
I recently discovered your channel. I love the way you guys really dig into the music and the lyrics. Your observations are fantastic. I liok forward to seeing more of your teactions. Thank you so much.
Thanks for rocking with us!!
Never heard this it is great. Thank you
Thank you for reacting to this song - I have not heard it in a very long time.
My fave Billy Joel album! Love The Stranger, among others, but there's just something about 52nd Street!
🙏❤🌹 Doug & Freddie 🌹❤🙏
I love that you guys are going to deeper cuts. Billy is fantastic. Try Prelude/Angry Young Man. You’ll love it!
My favorite Bill Joel tune!
this Album was a monster Banger After Banger you need to deep dive this Album .
Both Elton and Billy had major guitar-based rock periods (which I like!). But yeah piano is their core. Try Joe Jackson for another great pop/rock pianist.
Chek out CAPTAIN JACK song by Billy Joel
YES!
Stay on 52nd Street...Rosalindas Eyes and Big Shot!!! Two monsters...
Thank you guys. Phenomenal song and album. Love your channel
Thanks for rocking with us
Love this one with so many great songs from this album, 52nd street!Other good ones are Zanzibar and Rosalinda’s Eyes!
One of your best
This is a classic album. Glad you guys arrived at it on your journey. Try Zanzibar next ... same album.
River of Dreams (In the Middle of the night) from Billy.
You guys are awesome. Billy is truly a one off.
I should know, but honestly don't, so pardon this ask.....
Did Sinatra ever cover this? That would be fun!
Thanks for your unique take and skill with these reactions.
great selection and reaction guys. If you want to hear this guys diversity of music check out Zanzibar on this same album
Amazing album!
LOVED this! for some reason I thought of the Doobie Brothers-and guys PLEASE dive into 'Livin' On the Fault Line' album. It's great! Definite Steely Dan influenced....
With one hand he was playing the bass line and the other hand playing the lead
Suggestions , big man on mulberry street , I’ve loved these days , captain Jack , Miami 2017 , after watching you guys I think big man on mulberry street you’ll love ..
Wow, had forgotten about this gem.
🎵 “she’s so good with her stiletto you don’t even see the blade” 🎵 😮💨
Liberty DeVitto with an unusual martial beat during the chorus, kind of a martial shuffle. But he hides it so well it doesn’t sound military per se.
Great Cut!
That sax though 🤦🏾♂️ 4:49
Nasty ain’t it?
@@AirplayBeats yes sir 👍🏾
No one beats Billy love you guys
Check out the live version of Scenes from a Italian Restaurant
Headphones. Tickles the brain.
this album was played smooth we listened to it so much. Kidding aside most of BJ music was a norm along with Elton, doobies, Lynard, Led and doors
Goodnight Saigon is a great tune
I love to hear that because of the sampling. I have loved Billy Joel since I was a child and I never understood why people said it was white people music lol. He’s a killer!
52 street won a Grammy for best album. 1:32
“You been bought. You been sold.
You been locked outside the door.”
The list of better American popular music writers ahead of Billy Joel… is short.
Very.
💯
GREAT SONG!!!! Great album! “Zanzibar” . Check it out!
"The Stranger"
Zanzabar
