    Who's watching in 2024? This reminds me a bit of "We Are The World." A smaller, more intimate gathering of "talent." Didn't know Kevin Spacey can do all that! Thank you, Billy Joel and friends!

    Not only is this the best version of this song that I have heard, but the most beautiful part is the fact that Billy allowed Tony Bennet to be on the stage and just be there. (Tony has Alzheimer's and con no longer sing.) So Billy put him on the pedestal that he deserves. A most awesome salute from Billy to Tony.

    "Piano Man" is based on Joel's real-life experiences as a lounge musician in Los Angeles from 1972 to 1973, which he had decided to pursue in an effort to escape his contracted New York City-based record company at the time. This song often plays at the tiki bar at the beverly hill Hotel . Brings back great memories of those days of long ago.

It was awesome bcoz Kooyong was a lot smaller than I realised so even the cheap seats got a good view. Ask anyone who knows me they'll tell you my favourite singer is Billy Joel haha even my adult children know. Oh well, I can't help it if I know the words of all his song's. He was here in Melbourne Australia a few weeks ago and he still sounds like his records, no filters needed for BJ. Have a happy and safe 2023 all.

To this day I still sing his songs and they always remind me of how my dad would sing piano man at home when I was asleep. Billy Joel is the one who kept me from sinking into depression, so thank you Billy Joel both you and my father have inspired me to continue with my music and to not give up.

    I remember going to a show in Auckland New Zealand at the Logan Campbell Center. Billy and his band played to about 500 people indoors before his career soared. Mid 1970s. Fantastic show, fantastic band and a legend of a man. At the end of the show he said " don^t take any shit from anyone." Tickets were $12. Still play all his L.P.s 45 years later.

    This must have been amazing for Mr. Joel. The entire, diverse audience loving that piece of music and each person feels like it is there own. I'm surprised he didn't cry. He's made the world better.

    I think the best part about this video, is the crowd just mouthing the lyrics at the beginning, then getting further into it (singing, waving, etc) as the song moves along. Truly a tune that brings everyone together, and you know everyone signing remembers where they've been when this song has come on

      I dont know. I dont think they have much time for that. But good musicians can rehearse their own part on their own. And then perhaps have a day or two to put it together.

    • @metalrooves3651
      @metalrooves3651 Рік тому +1

    • @horaciogrillo1231

      Quien puede estar seguro? Es una mezcla. Tal vez la letra triste. La armonía del conjunto. La música melancólica. La tristeza que subyace a la alegría de la comunidad humana e inteligente que acompaña. El envejecimiento de algunos intérpretes que nos demuestran el fluir inexorable de la vida. El llanto de alguno de los espectadores. La soledad. Lo que pudo haber sido. Es una mezcla. Pero es vida y conciencia. Ambas cosas, antes o después, son dolorosas. Los artistas nos ayudan a sobrellevarlas. También, en el fondo, sentimos pena por ellos.
