The smile on his face makes me so happy. Imagine, a bunch of people who may not have even been alive to hear you when you first released the song, singin along perfectly. This moment is just, I dunno, magical?
This gives me goosebumps and I'm not even from New York. This is just another reason why I love this guy and why he's my favorite person. Not only is he extremely talented, but he's just one of the nicest guys in the entire music industry. Him smiling like a little kid made me smile I love how Kevin James is sitting next to him singing too, he's great. There are so many artists I can think of that would've just sat there looking stuck up. But Billy gets up, smiles, and sings along with the crowd. Today was my birthday and my birthday present was tickets to his concert which I went to last week. He's just so amazing, I had to come watch this video again. You're the best Billy Joel! :)
As a diehard Mets fan, this brings me to tears. If you live on Long Island, you know that "Piano Man" is normally played about 50 times a day on the local radio stations, and it's gotten to a point that I'm really just sick of the song. But seeing a packed Citi Field, Kevin James, Jerry Seinfeld, Billy himself and people of all ages in Met fandom singing together is really something else. It really embodies what being a New Yorker and being a Met fan is all about. Fantastic moment, thank you 2015 New York Mets
Absolutely hit it on the head... Even Billy himself appeared to be a little overcome by the power of the crowd...great video. I was so glad to be be a part of it...
Love or hate the Mets, this is right up there with Fenway's tradition of Sweet Caroline. Gets the whole stadium singing with pride over the team's anthem. Gotta love it, as a baseball fan.
Still gives me goosebumps, just like it did that night. My favorite part is at 1:02 when Bill waves to the crowd with a huge ear-to-ear grin, and Alexis (his wife, to his right) smiles right along with him...what a great couple. 😊
Wow... Billy thank you for almost 50 years of music that NEVER gets old. I wonder how Billy felt when everyone in Shea was singing Piano Man, knowing every word of his song.
There is no words to explain his feeling when you see his face. Of how he never would of expected to be in a stadium full of people singing his song. It's quite honeslty amazing
That was an incredible moment, the fans and the New York's "Piano Man," singing that great song together. Billy Joel is NYC! I hope tonight they play "I'm in a New York State of Mind."
He got a whole lot of the joy right back at him on this day that he makes everyone at his concert feel when he plays this. Goosebumps and happy tears for Billy, Piano Man, Mr. New York! 😎🎹👏❤️🤗
Long time Met fan from LI & while I moved off the Island in 07, the Mets are still my team. Visited the year Citi Field opened and fell in love instantly. Of course being a Long Islander, I love Billy. You had my favorite team's fans, in my favorite stadium, during the World Series, singing my favorite Billy Joel song with Billy joining in and the Mets dominated that game. Might be my favorite moment ever in a baseball game.
Whoever those 6 that gave 'thumbs down', you are idiots! One of the best ever musicians having thousands singing along to his best song (one of the best songs ever written in my opinion). If you can't appreciate that, you're obviously not human and are a 1D fan!
Not a giant Billy Joel enthusiastic, but imagine, your in your 60s watching a ball game and a song you wrote in your 20s plays over loudspeaker. Then 40,000 ppl break out singing the lyrics. It would bring me to tears if I we're him.
Also amazing considering this song doesn't mean as much to him - based on things he saw working at a bar, and that's it, no intended symbolism/bigger message.
I’m not a Mets fan, but this is just great. Edit: I'm a Phillies fan, but I'll always love this. Billy Joel being serenaded by the crowd. Also there's Kevin James sitting next to him.
This is the reason he won’t sell his catalog. Yes, he has millions and millions and millions that look on his face just as satisfying as the money maybe even more.
I'm so glad we have this song playing during the 7th inning. I never understood why we used to play sweet caroline before, to me it just never felt right cause its a red sox song.
This is awesome and makes me think of the Green Day crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody. I always wonder what it would have been like for Freddie Mercury to have had this experience.
DAMN SUCH A GREAT MOMENT I HAD MISSED SO THANKS FOR DOWNLOADING!! PS. CRAZY CRAZY ARE WORLD SOME LOSERS PUT A THUMBS DOWN ..WHAT A WORLD WE HAVE CREATED FOR OURSELVES!
Confirmed! Billy Joel is a Mets fan! I knew it! I was wondering for the longest time whether he was a Yankee fan or a Mets fan! I had a feeling he was a Mets fan and this confirmed it! ROCK ON PIANO MAN!!!✌️❤️ P.S., I like the Yankees better just so you people know😁

I love the look on Billy Joel's face like a surprised child. "Wow...I can't believe they are singing my song."
I don’t think he is surprised. I’ve been to many Mets games and they sung it every time. That is until around this year.
He’s not surprised. He’s just happy. He’s a cool dude.
@kathconserv it's his signature song, and Mt favorite of all time.
The smile on his face makes me so happy. Imagine, a bunch of people who may not have even been alive to hear you when you first released the song, singin along perfectly. This moment is just, I dunno, magical?
"An American treasure." Yes he is.
Damn straight.
Glad they didn’t cut the clip early, one of the few times Joe Buck has a great call in the booth
It wasn't the perfect ending, but I'll be damned if this wasn't one of the most magical seasons ever.
Pure joy, the crowd loves it. We need more moments like this about now.

Couldn't have said it better. Teared up during this moment watching it on TV.
Not a native New Yorker, but 'Piano Man' seems like the perfect Mets song. Sad & sweet, it fits this franchise to a tee, especially in October!
JohnnyHavs95 its a national song, you can go to any corner in anerica and you could get people to sing it
JohnnyHavs95 house in Long Beach and Bayville guy. One of my favorite moments of my life. Was at Mets Dodgers game 2
the atmosphere alone just gave me goosebumps
Right shouldve seen it live
What a wonderful moment for Mr. Joel. That's gotta be a little surreal no matter how famous you are. The
Ryan McCain we.love him here in NY.
What an incredible feeling it must be to hear thousands of people sing your words. 🍀❤️
영원히 늙지 않는 곡
ㄹㅇ 씹명곡
Love or hate the Mets, this is right up there with Fenway's tradition of Sweet Caroline. Gets the whole stadium singing with pride over the team's anthem. Gotta love it, as a baseball fan.
Born in Queens raised on Long Island. This is an amazing moment. Love my Mets and love Billy Joel!
Almost cried last night when this came on last night. Such a great energy.
Awww, this really melts my heart
Still gives me goosebumps, just like it did that night. My favorite part is at 1:02 when Bill waves to the crowd with a huge ear-to-ear grin, and Alexis (his wife, to his right) smiles right along with him...what a great couple. 😊

Shea?
Gotta be mind blowing for Billy! To hear a huge crowd know his songs!
Jesus Christ, I can't imagine what this feels like.
There is no words to explain his feeling when you see his face. Of how he never would of expected to be in a stadium full of people singing his song. It's quite honeslty amazing
That was an incredible moment, the fans and the New York's "Piano Man," singing that great song together. Billy Joel is NYC! I hope tonight they play "I'm in a New York State of Mind."
That must feel great to see thousands of people singing one of the songs you've written and performed.
Everything coming full-circle this season, the playoffs. Nice extra-added touch to the Mets run in 2015 with this. Time to win 3 more!
He got a whole lot of the joy right back at him on this day that he makes everyone at his concert feel when he plays this. Goosebumps and happy tears for Billy, Piano Man, Mr. New York! 😎🎹👏❤️🤗
Billy couldn't help himself, he was in a New York State of mind!

This is what music and sports should be like
Beautiful

It's now 34 thumbs downs... What a shame.
@@maryrforrester 40 thumbs down now...
There are many great places in this country but New York just has a vibe and coolness that can’t be duplicated !!!
That’s right.
Giants fan here: Commiserations to the Mets and their fans, I was hoping you'd win... :'(
At least during our world series Steve perry got into it with the Giants
@@durstin8er ya exactly. I am a Mets fan but that was awesome what Perry did.
Never seen this before that was awesome 👏🏻
Amaizing moment. So surreal for him I'm sure.
I'm a Braves fan but I love sports and I was rooting for the Mets this year. Awesome crowd
😊❤ que increíble momento en la vida de Billy Joel. Nunca va a olvidar ese momento. 👍✌️
Because we lost, this will probably be my only favorite moment from this WS. Strangely, I'm OK with that.
This is great!!!
I love my Mets I love my home Long Island and I love Billy Joel.
Imagine that pressure ❤
What a great clip.
Your game ticket for that moment now is priceless!
This was such a great night. Fuckin' Royals. ;-)
We met fans love us some Billy Joel.
You don't see this in NFL or NBA or NHL, This why Americans love baseball
Yes you do
Not a giant Billy Joel enthusiastic, but imagine, your in your 60s watching a ball game and a song you wrote in your 20s plays over loudspeaker. Then 40,000 ppl break out singing the lyrics. It would bring me to tears if I we're him.
Also amazing considering this song doesn't mean as much to him - based on things he saw working at a bar, and that's it, no intended symbolism/bigger message.
And besides playing that anytime will make you forget about life for a while, to borrow a line.
is that kevin james
YESS!
Yeah
+Ricky Sadlier yep, and chris weidman is sitting right next to him
+Ricky Sadlier I was asking the same, I thought he used NY Mets shirts in their movies 'cause they were cheaper than the ones of the NY Yankees.
I think so , I'm a big fan of Kevin James
the best to happen ever #mets
Joel Ayala This is simply the best sing-along Song ever written.
Camino de Santiago
you're not wrong about that - such a cool song...everyone seems to know the lyrics! Great! =)
This video makes me so happy (5/29/24) and I’m a Red Sox fan 😂
Look at those faces. What a great feeling.
I’m not a Mets fan, but this is just great.
Edit: I'm a Phillies fan, but I'll always love this. Billy Joel being serenaded by the crowd. Also there's Kevin James sitting next to him.
say what you want about the US; i can't imagine the kind of atmosphere at these quintessentially American ball games :)
gives me goosebumps
Go New York!
Billy Joel singing to his own song. Pretty cool!
God I love my Mets no matter how bad they can be. I’m a die hard fan & I’ll love this team until I die
omg just chills I am SO happy I got to see Billy Joel in concert !!
That's who WE got. A music icon. Kansas City? Probably some sleezy rapper.
A drunken slob who makes cheesy Top 40? Congrats. Your team was humiliated by the Royals.
+Leo R. :D Better take your hat off to Billy, hater. He's a real music Royal.
KC has rappers? Since when? Either way NYC wins the rap battle easily anyway.
I love this is so awesome
This is the reason he won’t sell his catalog. Yes, he has millions and millions and millions that look on his face just as satisfying as the money maybe even more.
I wish they had stopped playing ball….just for the moment. He teared-up (I was watching this unfold at the time).
The good times...
I'm so glad we have this song playing during the 7th inning. I never understood why we used to play sweet caroline before, to me it just never felt right cause its a red sox song.
Imagine sitting down to write a song over 50 years ago, and people who weren't even born back then, signing that song
This is awesome and makes me think of the Green Day crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody. I always wonder what it would have been like for Freddie Mercury to have had this experience.
Legend ❤️
I was there! Wound up on Fox at 11:30 that night too lol
Mets + Piano Man= Amazing
billy NYC Legend
0:50 beautiful
Why did it look like Billy Joel was the only person in that entire stadium who didn't know the words?
The biggest highlight of the century for the Mets......lol
Those fans paid to go see a baseball game, and got a free Billy Joel concert as an added bonus. Lucky.
Brilliant !!!

What an honor
First time I wish i was at a baseball game
Quintessential NY Mets fan moment.
Kevin and Billy are like good friends

So happy they got that rocking woman out of the video
A Classic NY moment.
The real living legend, like paul mccartney
DAMN SUCH A GREAT MOMENT I HAD MISSED SO THANKS FOR DOWNLOADING!! PS. CRAZY CRAZY ARE WORLD SOME LOSERS PUT A THUMBS DOWN ..WHAT A WORLD WE HAVE CREATED FOR OURSELVES!
I miss these times as a mets fan the good old days
was that mall cop next to him?
+39devonshire Yes it was lmfaooo
Kevin James bro 😂
looks like me at karaoke when i don't wanna sing but forced....still love billy
Is that Kevin James sitting next to him?
豪快なピアノマンだ！選手たち！気をとられて暴投とか三振とかするなよ！
ピアノマンの大合唱が聴けるのは、どのチームの時ですか？
His famous concert video took place at Yankee Stadium yet he’s reppin Mets gear. I know NYC is huge but I’m confused.
Look up Last Play at Shea
Confirmed! Billy Joel is a Mets fan! I knew it! I was wondering for the longest time whether he was a Yankee fan or a Mets fan! I had a feeling he was a Mets fan and this confirmed it! ROCK ON PIANO MAN!!!✌️❤️
P.S., I like the Yankees better just so you people know😁
Is that Kevin James next to him?
Billy Joel chillin with Kevin James😂😂
Cof cof With Paul Blart 👌
Tonight we are back.
What was Paul Blart doing there
No, it’s Doug Heffernan
Is that Paul Blart
Wait wait..are they playing the music while the match..game is on, or am I missing something? What?
There is not a song that does music better than Piano Man if that makes sense
The Mets really NEED a piano man to suit up against the DODGERS!
アメリカのこういうところ好き
Which one is Billy Joel? It's kinda hard to spot him in the crowd.
