I've heard this song countless times, but it never gets old! The groove and vibe of the song is so potent. And the lyrics are so hysterical and cutting and spot on! The band of Cannata and DeVito and Javors is also so ridiculously tight and loose all at the same time! I can't be more effusive! Joel's catalogue is vast and the little hits that nobody talks about are some of his brightest gems! CET
That was an awesome post my friend I couldn't have said it any better!!!! And just on a side note, I grew up literally 8 blocks from his mother's house

This song is about the big city and how people rush to live there to make it. It touched me at first listen. You can replace Los Angeles with any major city and it would still make sense. Pure music.

Man, could Billy rock in his heyday! Saw him live twice and he really pours out every ounce of energy on stage. Only The Boss outdoes him. On this song, he turns that Fender Rhodes into a Fender Strat. Rock on, Billy - we love you!
Rick Brockel The whole message of Billy’s song was that California was a shallow, obnoxious place filled with shallow, displaced midwesterners. I think you got the wrong message from it bud! 😆 Hope you’re having a good time wherever you end up, both states are gorgeous.
Everything fits: 1. The musical giant Billy Joel 2. His great and charismatic band 3. Brilliant, sarcastic, politically incorrect lyrics (for instance 2:56: ”Their foreign faces”). Simply great - thanks for posting! Rgds from Germany

I'm sorry, but Dan A is right... this clip was culled from the concerts recorded for Songs In The Attic in 1981... you can tell by the band and Billy's hair (which was a lot longer in 1974) The original studio version was on Streetlife Serenade in 1974, but this is not that version.
You are incorrect. This performance is from July 1981 @ Sparks; Long Island, NY...a full year after the material on Songs In The Attic was recorded. Those recordings date from June and July 1980.
@@colindonald365 I've only ever seen a couple other songs on video from this show. There's a full two hour concert which is what I'm curious about- if they have the entirety on tape stashed away in Sony's vault somewhere.

It really does slap. It is a jam
Every Billy Joel song is underrated
It's always been my favorite Billy Joel song. So gritty and so full of soul.
Man, if this show doesn’t make you wanna play in a band, there might be something wrong with you.
Billy could do three or four really good concerts made up of just songs he never plays anymore
pretty sure this is one of the songs someone stole the rights to in order to pocket the money that's rightfully his.
And he played it again at the concert I went to
And he finally played this song 42 years later in his last night's show at the Garden.
Anyone else here since he finally rocked this one again at MSG, for the first time in 42 f'ing years? 😃
Yep, I was there!
Michael Schenker Group?...🥴
@@darkwingduck-cv7tx Madison Square Garden.

Songs in the attic has another great version. Probably my favorite album of all time. Every one a live banger. Legend.

Not a Fender Rhodes but a Wurlitzer Piano. 😉
Billy Joel never made another rock song like this. That’s a factual statement.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Inspired me to moved from Wisconsin to California.
It is truly a Hidden Gem

Los Angelenos
All come from somewhere
To live in sunshine
Their funky exile
Midwestern ladies
High-heeled and faded
Drivin' sleek new sports cars
With their New York cowboys
Hiding up in the mountains
Laying low in the canyons
Goin' nowhere on the streets
With the Spanish names
Makin' love with the natives
In their Hollywood places
Making up for all the time gone by
Los Angelenos
All come from somewhere
Cuz it's all so easy
To become acquainted
Electric babies
Blue-jeaned and jaded
Such hot sweet schoolgirls
So educated
Tanning out in the beaches
With their Mexican reefers
No one ever has to feel
Like a refugee
Going into garages
For exotic massages
Making up for all the time gone by
Hiding up in the mountains
Laying low in the canyons
Goin' nowhere on the streets
With the Spanish names
Makin' love with the natives
In their Hollywood places
Making up for all the time gone by
Los Angelenos
All come from somewhere
It's so familiar
Their foreign faces
outstanding writing. one of the masters.
This is my absolute favorite Billy Joel song. Such a great groove!
He wrote this song for Rod Stewart to sing (he had his voice in mind) but was to intimidated to present it to him.

shout out to guitarist David Brown, who doesn't get much mention.

Wishing they would remaster this concert, Please...
Way back when when we had hair
Memories we hold so dear
The best music for anyone who dared to hear
Good times gone by
But these vibes never die
Can we get the whole Sparks concert in album form, please?
This song was officially released in 1974, however this performance was recorded in Sparks, NY in 1981.
Another Billy Joel hidden gem.
You can’t stop this band. You can’t even hope to contain them.
Amazing.
My man! We grew up in the same town! Great guy, met him several times! 😎😊

Billy considers himself more of a keyboardist than a pianist. Makes sense, he’s more of a band player than a soloist.
Definitely not 1974. This is from Songs in the Attic in 1981 but an amazing performance nonetheless.
1980
@Connor Stancil Better than the album version. This was much more rockin"
There used to be a shithole called "Sparks" in Deer Park on Long Island too. I saw Dream Theater there in 1992
