Billy Joel represents New York as well as anybody ever has!
The way he sang on this performance was very much an homage to a musician for whom Billy Joel has enormous respect, the great Ray Charles.
Thought aswell, the way he is singing and playing the piano...
Speaking of Ray Charles, she should check out Baby Grand. A duet of two great pianists paying homage to their instruments. ❤
Girl you could play Billy Joel all day long as far as I’m concerned! 😊❤❤
I Agree
Same. I often do put him on repeat and just listen to him all day long. Don't need anybody else. :)
Billy is a national treasure! The greatest of the singer/songwriters that we have had in the last 60 years! Not even debatable!
Billy the Goat
Billy Joel is just so cool! His lyrics, his voice, his piano playing is above all. I was one of the lucky ones to be able to buy his albums hot off the press, so been listening to him for years and years. Love him so much!
This is one of his finest performance. So glad i could see you react to it.
Imagine having all these endless amazing unique songs covering multiple genres and styles, and incredibly deep lyrics every time and can also say you personally wrote them all and can actually play like that… And sing live as good or better than the albums… I never get tired of Billy Joel
I was so lucky to see Mr. Joel at about this time in his career. After the show, my crazy friend convinced me to go to his hotel and try to meet him. We waited at least an hour when his limo pulled up. He stepped out by himself. He looked exhausted, but he still stopped and gave us his autograph. A true gentleman.
We all had a lump in our throat When he played this song during the concert for first responders after the attacks of 9/11. Very emotional.
I am so amazed when I think how young Billy was when he wrote this song. There is so much depth and maturity here for a young twenty something to have written. I still hear new depth and meaning to his words in my 60s after hearing his music for the last 50 years. Billy you are an old soul who was wise beyond your years, at least when it comes to writing music.
The soundtracks of my life !!!!
- Matter of trust
-All about Soul
- Italian Restaurant
- Honesty
- Only the good die young
- Still rock and roll
- Vienna
- Goodnight Saigon
-Turn the lights back on
And so many more ❤
I'm a straight guy and Billy deserves to be in the PDC!!!
I mean he ended up marrying the biggest supermodel in the world directly after dating Elle Macpherson. The guy was with the 2 hottest women on the planet back-to-back. Definitely in the PDC!
Two things...
I'm a New Yorker, still here, living a good life, now retired and doing all the things this town has to offer. This song captures the heart of a lifelong New Yorker. Btw, I have seen Billy Joel several times over the decades. He's amazing.
Secondly, Britt, I hope you don't change the chit chat. I, for one, can feel it's coming from your heart and clever mind. It enhances the reaction, especially in this video. Keep up the good work. 👍
I’m so glad you did this version of the song. I love this video.
Omg so glad you love the genius of Billy Joel.I was lucky enough see him twice in the 70s in Memphis.Best concerts of my life.
This is a great performance, great song, great talent
I love the Saxophonist's expression at the end. It's like he's saying, "I have a 3rd degree Black Belt in Jazzy-Sax. You just heard 1st degree."
I'm about as far from being a New York boy as I could get but Billy Joel takes me there for a few minutes every time I hear this song and makes me feel like I would belong.
I love this song ,visited NewYork two weeks ago from Ireland , it’s a movie set,The city that never sleeps ,great memories heart
That’s a great Sax solo…please watch Bruce Springsteen “Jungleland” where Clarence Clemons on Sax and the whole E Street Band perform one of the greatest Rock songs ever both lyrically and musically. Also about NY. There are many great versions but the 2009 Hyde Park Live is pretty cool even though they are much older. Or even the Original Studio version with lyrics.
When Tony Bennett adds your song to his repertoire, you KNOW you've written an American classic.
Not only did Tony Bennet record this song as a duet with Billy Joel (as did Barbra Streisand), it won a Grammy in 2002.
"New York State Of Mind" is also the title of an illustrated children's book written by Billy in 2004that comes with a CD of the song.
Barbra Streisand recorded it by herself too in 1977 for her Superman album in between Billy's albums Turnstiles that the original appeared on in 1976, and Billy's breakthrough album The Stranger in 1977.
This is my favorite version of the song
I was born/raised in NYC so this song and Native New Yorker by Odyssey captures the love I have for this city. I too enjoy driving down the West Side Hgwy. 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️🍎🗽
Beyond Awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Britt, you really really REALLY need to get tickets for Billy Joel on July 25 for his show at Madison Square Garden. You ain't seen nuthin' till you've seen him live. It's totally worth the trip back home!
I think that the July 25th show is his last ever appearance at Madison Square Garden.
I believe it’s just his last of his “residency” I’m sure that he will still come around MSG from time to time.
If you want to go to New York City with Billy, try A Matter Of Trust. That video shows a totally different side of Billy in New York.
I got to see him live twice in the 70s, once in a tiny club in 75 and then again in 77 in a small theater just after The Stranger album came out. Both concerts were amazing.
BILLY JOEL, BARD OF THE 'BURBS
He's a bard of everyday suburban dream and disappointment, and his forte is the romantic ballad."
One of the greatest songs ever written, IMO. Great reaction! Please check out “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant” (Live). Again, fantastic reaction and share! 🤓🤠❤️
YES - this is the song BJ himself said is his favorite.
We all agree that this song and performance is outstanding 😊... watched a lot of reactions, but I really love yours, so emotional, thank you ❤
Thank you so much!
I was born and raised in Billy Joel's NY. The 70s was a time of nostalgia and rebellion, very much our state of mind then and still.
Definitely his Ray Charles impersonation which he does so well. ❤️
Richie Cannata on Sax. One of my all-time favorites! The Stranger, if you haven't reacted to it.
Props to Richie. His work at this time set a blueprint for Mark to follow. Amazing stuff
My favorite song of all time. I really wish I could explain how hard it hits me, no matter the version. But this is the one right here. Great reaction!
I love this song , you don't have to be in New York to envision you being there . The horn riffs in this rendition are amazing, and just after you had his buffet of music and horns for desert he sends you home with a slice of big apple pie. His new song Turn the Lights Back On is amazing too. His first song in over a decade.
Billy the Joel is AMAZING and I've been waiting for you to react to this song for a long time. I've seen him 6 times in concert, and he NEVER disappoints. I had all his tapes, all his albums, then all his CDs. TOTALLY worth the cost.
Great reaction. Great Artist Great (and real) Music
Thanks from Italy ;)
Billy's got soul.😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
My absolute favorite version of this song! Billy Joel is my all time favorite musician.
Love your coverage of Billy Joel, an all-time great as you rightly noted. Might be covering the same ground twice, but there's video of a Q and A session at Vanderbilt, I think, where a kid asks to accompany him while Joel sings this.
Well, the kid turns out to be really, really good. Billy's a little surprised by how good, but he rolls with it like a pro would. A great moment in the kid's life and a lot of fun.
I was the first person I knew who discovered Billy 50 years ago. I feel this performance with Billy singing in the style of jazz singer Tony Bennet was Billy's answer to Tony Bennet's biggest hit, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Another facet of Billy's performances Britt should hear is Billy singing in the style of Ray Charles in a tribute to pianos on a TV show Billy hosted.
You really need to check out him and Ray Charles singing Baby Grand.
Yes.
I love billy and Britt. Maybe Britt a little more.
Captain Jack is what you wanna try next from Billy
My favorite song
Billy Joel is one of the all time greats. You need to react to Goodnight Saigon, it’s absolutely fantastic.
Marvelous song!! One of my favorites!! You are a really wonderful lady. I enjoy you so so much!! 😅
Wow, thank you!
I didn’t appreciate how great he is when I was a kid.
Saw in 1983 for the 1st time 6 more times in the 90s and just took my 20 year son 2 summers ago still aamazing id pay again to see him
1 of the first songs I learned to play 🙂
Same
Here's the story of this song, Britt. Billy Joel escaped a bad record deal by moving to LA to work at a piano bar under an assumed name (Bill Martin). When NYC defaulted and the fed declined to bail the city out, Billy decided he needed to get out of tinseltown and go back home. "If my city is going down," he said, "I'm going down with it." So this song is his decision to move back home to New York. Try "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)" for a similar -- but rocking -- tribute to New York. A live version is best.
Keeping the Faith is fun upbeat tune from Billy. The official music video is great.
I used to listen to this years and years ago - and for some reason it got buried until about 2 weeks ago -- forgot how good Billy Joel is. It's synergy that some of my favorite reactors lately are bringing it back to the forefront.
The thing about NYC is it's a social crucible; it shapes everyone who lives there for any length of time no matter their age. ;) Gotta agree, this is one of my favorites.
Epic song performance!
One of my favorite Billy Joel songs is "Honesty". Love to see you react to that!
I’ll check it out!
Wise beyond your years Britt. You've topped my list on the favorites of reactors.
New Yorker here...there is no other place in the world that compares.
I grew up a Rhode Islander 2 hrs to Boston or 2 1/2 hours to NYC. Now In NJ I'm 1hr 30 from NYC. Love the city and what it does when I am there. Just want the memories of next time.
You need to check out Good Night Saigon from Billy, especially today with it being Memorial Day
I've been a fan more than 40 years. The Stranger was one of the first 3 albums I bought.
This is one of my all time favorites, no question. The sax solos are superb! I'm sure they're a factor in my taking up the saxophone in 6th grade.
Have you heard Vienna and Scenes from an Italian Restaurant?
Well said!
Ready for another amazing Billy Joel song? You're going to love Our Italian Restaurant. That one will bring you back to NY again.
Scenes from an Italian restaurant
Britt i LOVE when you do Billy Joel Reactions!
Billy is an absolute genius!
Billy Joel had so many hits wow....
So true. Just think, most people who have never gotten past the songs of his that made it to radio don’t even know that this gem exists. A terrific song and a very special performance.
He performed this in Madison Square Garden in a concert for first responders after 9/11
Notice how he's channeling Ray Charles here? But it's Billy's original composition.
You need to check out his song. The longest time. It's a doo wop song in 5 part harmony all of which he sang. Watch the music video or listen to just the song.
This song is actually the 2nd in a trilogy of songs: "Say Goodbye to Hollywood", "NY State of Mind", and "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)"
US Soldiers who were deployed in germany during a maneuver 90/91 had one tape that always played Billy Joel. 😁Greetings from Germany young lady !
Masterpiece 🔥 Legend ❤️
Billy Joel is absolutely the GOAT. July is his last residency show at MSG, that will be my 26th Billy Joel concert. He is amazing.
You say it well - Billy Joel does such an amazing job of painting pictures. Not just with his lyrics, but with the actual notes of the music, the style he uses on the piano.
He has too many great songs. River of Dreams has a great rock and roll nostalgia feel. You’ll love it Britt.
Billy is a legend! Check out the video "Uptown Girl" with his then wife Christie Brinkley.
Masterful!!!
New York must be such a cultural treasure chest, the way both you and Billy wear your NY stripes with such pride you can literally feel it. Don’t think I’ll ever make it there but a few minutes with you guys is inspiring.
Britt, I've never seen you not like, or love, anything coming your way.
To each, his or her own! No amount of money could get me to move to New York!
Very early on in my concert-going years I had the tremendous pleasure of seeing Mr. Joel perform a solo show in 1974 at Fairleigh Dickinson U, Madison, NJ. just after his third album Streetlight Serenade was released. Just Billy and a piano in a small college venue and for the next 2+ hours he was the hardest working man in show business. Later on I saw him again in 1990 during his Storm Front tour at the Spectrum in Philly, another top shelf shelf show. Regarding the music and this video I'll never get tired of it and I wish there was a way to download (legally) the MP3 of it so I could have it in my car.
As a fan and as a musician to some extent being that it was mostly in my earlier years, I have to say this is a breathtaking performance. Breathtaking!
Noodles all the time and a lot of peanut butter😂😂😂😂
The words you were looking for is, "Billy Joel is a National Treasure!"
look at you! OMG!
I've been hoping you'd react to this one at some point, because I knew how tickled that sax would get ya!
😊
Billy is amazing, I know you like to vary your reactions but I hope in time you do most of his songs, I feel like you really get him, and would love all of them. Honesty, Movin out, Its still rock and roll to me, The longest time, Uptown girl, and so many more...One underrated song i love is "all for leyna" Billy has talked about being bipolar in many songs, and mentioned that its interesting how it fueled many of his greatest songs
Lived in Bushwick, worked in Manhattan , vacation in Nyack, you, you, you good
Oh Britt! I just fell in love with you, professionally of course! You're an absolute doll and I just could NOT wait for you to get thru THIS song, especially the sax solo....you did this review the most justice! Now please review "She Has A Way" by Billy Joel. Perfect song fr9m a man who LOVES his woman. Thank you so much for this review! 💗
You enjoyed his fast playing, try his live version of Travellin Prayer from 1976 in Germany. The band look like they challenge him to a fast play competition and he rises to the challenge.
Oh, that's why we get along! Similar birth cities. God bless the homeland.
SO GREAT!
He is the epitome of New York! If you haven't seen his daughter, Alexa Ray, sing "To Sir With Love" on stage with him back in April, you should. She's fantastic!!
You have to check Scences from an Italian Restaurant...Im certain you will blown away.
Since you're into the sax and sticking to the region, you gotta do Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band... Jungleland!
Just went to his concert in Seattle, simply the best! Hem has the best and most talented back up musicians!
Im glad you love NY. I cant think of any place id like to be less then NY.
The TV channel that regularly broadcasts Yankees games in the Lehigh Valley area of PA also runs Billy Joel concerts. It's so cool!
If you're back in the South, go check out a place called Smiles Piano Bar in Savannah Georgia. I've been to 4 countries and maybe 30 states, and that bar might just be my favorite place on earth. I found the bar as a young Marine stationed in the South and nothings ever beat it. They've got dueling pianos up on the stage and they play just about every kind of piano music you can play. The crowd ranges in ages from 60s to 20s. People sing along at the top of their lungs or get up and dance right at their table... And the vibe is pure joy. It's just perfect.
He's doing a Ray Charles impersonation here... lol. Awesome.
