      I wish Freddie Mercury was still living cause he would have rocked the shit outta the anthem. (Yes I know he wasn't US) but he's voice and theatrical flamboyant style was so entertaining.

    I like how he didn't make this about himself. He sang it, no b.s trills or showing off, respectfully and I'm sure it meant a lot to him. The players looked honored to have Billy there to represent. Just a good old ball game.

      completely disagree, this version came off as sarcastic and disrespectful to me, you don't need theatrics but you do need to present the meaning of the song to the audience (same can be said for any piece on any instrument)

      I know your comment is nine months old, but you got to take into consistering that Bill by 2015 is 66 or 67, most older men and women start sounding a bit tired out and really can't sing high notes (if their singers) for that long due to age. I'm pretty sure Joel enjoyed it.
