    I've been a Billy Joel fan since I was a kid. This is by far the best cover of this song I've ever seen. The backing vocalists nailed their part.

    It's not often in this world that we can have a consensus. But guess what folks? We got one here! There simply is no better cover band on the internet or UA-cam than LLB.

  •  24 дні тому +7

    Actually, words are superfluous, but this band is the best cover band in the world. What musicians and what voices. And thanks to Billy Joel for a great song. Nobody makes music like that today. Greetings from Sweden

      @J3unG 22 дні тому

      You haven't seen Band Geeks from Staten Island, NY or the REO Bros from the Philippines. These guys are fine. They're a great band but nowhere near the technical prowess of the Geeks or the deep energy and joy of the Reos. Check them out, you'll see. LLB is great though...just not the best. Nowhere near.

    So good. I love how Benji had all the nuances of Billy Joel's vocal performance without just blindly imitating him. And super tight playing by everyone else, too. Billy's band really does make it sound easy when it's not, and so does LLB!

    I've long since run out of superlatives to describe the quality of performances by this project. LLB is always outstanding, and this is no exception. Instruments, harmony vocals.....amazing. The standout here though has to be Benji's breathtaking lead. Well done, as always , everyone, and thanks for everything you do!

    I must of heard that song a thousand times and I've memorized all the little bells and whistles and flourishes that Joel does in his recording including the bass line and the piano hits. You guys do him justice with your take even if you don't hit them all. I like that. Why make an exact dupe. You've done My Life LLB style honoring the original but putting your stamp on it. Props to Benji for a great job!

    Exquisite rendition that exceeds the original by quite a margin. Captivatingly good production values - stellar percussion (Ryan/Randy) feat. incredible lead and backing vocals by one and all, those keyboard(s) were yaya - in short, your 'typical' LLB effort - the definition of perfection! I am a huge fan of this band. Austin is a force of nature on the synth and Vandy... what can I say? Heart and soul of this troop!

    This is so freaking good. Billy Joel had some great songs and this song was one of the best. You guys absolutely nailed this one. I am a huge Benji fan and he is really killing it. He is incredible. And Jessica and Katie are amazing together. Everyone of you are sensational. It’s such a pleasure to watch and listen to you guys and gals. I have never seen a band that is so smooth and so spot on as you are. Every song you do is a masterpiece. I have listened to this four times today and I’m going for five. Thank you LLB for giving us all something to keep us smiling and jamming during these crazy times of the world. Please do more Billy Joel 😊😊😊
