I think when he got divorced the first time and was dating models, he started to get his hair cleaned up and tamed. Especially once he was with Christie starting in like 83, his hair looked so good. And seeing her fix his hair in the Bridge to Russia doc makes me think she probably was always making sure he looked his best since she knew fashion after all. I dated a grunge musician once and I was always cutting and fixing his hair and eyebrows and picking out outfits. 😂
The greatest EVER Joel concert. I was five years old. It was broadcast live on Radio 1 in England and that alone was a HUGE deal. My parents had friends over and we all sat and listened.🎉🎉🎉❤
I recorded this concert on VHS tape when it was broadcast in Britain at the time. It was one on my prize tapes, as you did back then! I never thought it would be available on youtube. GOOD JOB MAN!!!!!
I think since it was probably shot on tape as opposed to film (like Bridge to Russia '87), there probably isn't a great way to restore it for a proper commercial release.
Incomparable musician and entertainer extraordinaire! Billy has few equals. He can write and sing in so many styles I've always thought of him as a one-man Beatles!
before we continue, let's talk abt what Mark and Billy are doing in this concert and how silly they are 1:30:40 - 1:30:46 i like how billy had to look behind him to make sure that Mark was the one who touched his back 😭 and here in Only The Good Die Young (yes i know Mark gets on the piano for a while, its literally the cover of Sideman: In Persuit Of The Next Gig) 1:44:57 - 1:45:23 i find the little dance Mark does adorable and i love how Billy with no shame whatsoever grabs Mark's shirt and tugs on it and then Mark says something after 'aww, she never cared for me' and im attempting to read his lips but im still just a girl watching a billy joel concert on 9 o'clock on a Saturday soooo anyway ty for coming to my Ted talk have a nice day and good job as always, matthew.
I used to watch this concert on VHS as a teenager, so it brings back lots of nostalgia and sweet memories, I seem to remember This Night and Scenes From An Italian Restaurant the most but all his classic songs are featured. He was at the peak of his performance here and his best songwriting was from the late 70's to the early/mid 80's. Thanks for the great upload!
This is amazing. Thanks for posting. These were the shows that got me into Billy. I also recorded from TV (here in Scotland) at the time. This is a massive upgrade. Great job!
I'm definitely going to be watching this on the TV. The set list for this show and performance is amazing. Got love the speed in which he plays prelude/angry young man.

Watched it on the Beeb 40 years ago...the weather in England at the time was tropical...watching it exactly 40 years to the day...the weather is topical.
Great enhanced video, I'm sure I have stereo enhance sound ... plus I have original VHS I recorded from TV back in 1984 ! With BBC intro from London :) but I'm sure this video quality is better. I remember listening to it in stereo on radio 1 at the time simultaneous broadcast but they stopped broadcasting on radio 1 I think after Siagon.
Thanks for this Matthew (and for your other recent releases). I recorded this concert from BBC TV at the time. The live version was very slightly longer than the one repeated on BBC a year later - I'm not sure which ones you've used. I must admit, though, I hadn't known that this was filmed over 2 nights. Are you sure about that? (To answer someone else's comment, it was definitely in Wembley Arena (- different to Wembley Stadium where he performed a couple of times in recent years)
Hello! Thanks for comment! - I have read a lot on various sites, in other videos, and even on pages stating that there are 2 shows. That confuses me a bit, so I need some proof to know what night it is. It is assumed that Paul Young appeared on June 6, and the 8 and 9 were recorded by the BBC. From what I read, the third night starts during This Night. Do you still have your recording? That could be key to confirm at once if it is the same date, or they are different dates.
I can tell you for certain that the first half was transmitted at 9.30pm on BBC1 on Friday 8th June, and simulcast on Radio 1 in stereo. I have a stereo cassette recording taken directly at that time. The 2nd half was transmitted at 8.10pm the following Tuesday 12th June, but this time with no stereo sound on radio. The two halves were transmitted again a year later (24 Jun and 1 July 1985 at 23:05) and neither time with stereo sound on that occasion. The question though is which actual concert this is (6th or 8th June). Given that the first transmission was at 9.30pm it would not have been the concert from that day transmitted live since the transmission start time is too late, but could potentially have been recorded earlier that same evening. Your footage here is from the original 1984 transmissions, because the reference to Liberty’s wife having a baby and some other general audience chat is not included in the edited repeats a year later.
In fact, the reference to having a baby 'right now' dates it precisely, since Torrey DeVitto was born on 8th June. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrey_DeVitto

It looks a bit like it, but it isn't. The one in the video clip has some figures, and silhouettes, this one has only geometric figures, at least from what you can see 11:38
Greatest Joel concert? No, 1994 in Germany is near the top, Russia fr the 1st time, Shay stadium, Madison and on and on...there us no best show dudes! They are all great!
@@dw-ow8kh Wembley is an area of North London about 40 minutes by tube from Central London. There is a 90,00 seater stadium and a completely separate 12,500 seater indoor arena nearby where this was filmed. It's not used so much now for bands as they go to the larger O2 arena but it's still going strong 40+ years after opening.

You're now even putting forward the notion that everyone wore the same clothes two nights running. It's embarrassing. You're really letting yourself down.
@@Jaxrus1 If you don't know about the band and the concerts, then I guess you don't know - They usually wear the same clothes two or three days in a row. And more if it is a Tour. It is difficult to talk about the audience, because it is not shown so clearly, and you will not realize that someone is the same person throughout the show. If you think it's June 8, that's fine with you. But not because you tell me, I will automatically believe you. I need some other source, some other take. Read above, that's a more subjective opinion.

He would be a boring drummer if he didn't play like that. I get it that sometimes it was unnecessary, but certainly I prefer that than a drummer that cannot catch your attention.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how nice Billy's hair looked this whole tour?
Big upgrade from his Glass Houses hair hahaha
Back when he still had hair. Just saying.
And ?
I think when he got divorced the first time and was dating models, he started to get his hair cleaned up and tamed. Especially once he was with Christie starting in like 83, his hair looked so good. And seeing her fix his hair in the Bridge to Russia doc makes me think she probably was always making sure he looked his best since she knew fashion after all.
I dated a grunge musician once and I was always cutting and fixing his hair and eyebrows and picking out outfits. 😂
As thinking the same thing! He looked so good (cleaned up)
The greatest EVER Joel concert. I was five years old. It was broadcast live on Radio 1 in England and that alone was a HUGE deal. My parents had friends over and we all sat and listened.🎉🎉🎉❤
I recorded this concert on VHS tape when it was broadcast in Britain at the time. It was one on my prize tapes, as you did back then! I never thought it would be available on youtube. GOOD JOB MAN!!!!!
I find it so strange the BBC have never repeated this / it has never been released commercially by Billy Joel. He's at his absolute peak here
I think since it was probably shot on tape as opposed to film (like Bridge to Russia '87), there probably isn't a great way to restore it for a proper commercial release.
I was there that night and will never forget it,Brilliant !!!!
As much as I love 70's Billy, I still feel like this is his prime. He sounds and looks great!
Awesome job on this beautiful restoration Matthew!
This is Billy's supreme moment.
He was at his best
Incomparable musician and entertainer extraordinaire! Billy has few equals. He can write and sing in so many styles I've always thought of him as a one-man Beatles!
before we continue, let's talk abt what Mark and Billy are doing in this concert and how silly they are
1:30:40 - 1:30:46
i like how billy had to look behind him to make sure that Mark was the one who touched his back 😭
and here in Only The Good Die Young (yes i know Mark gets on the piano for a while, its literally the cover of Sideman: In Persuit Of The Next Gig)
1:44:57 - 1:45:23
i find the little dance Mark does adorable and i love how Billy with no shame whatsoever grabs Mark's shirt and tugs on it and then Mark says something after 'aww, she never cared for me' and im attempting to read his lips but im still just a girl watching a billy joel concert on 9 o'clock on a Saturday soooo
anyway ty for coming to my Ted talk have a nice day and good job as always, matthew.
I used to watch this concert on VHS as a teenager, so it brings back lots of nostalgia and sweet memories, I seem to remember This Night and Scenes From An Italian Restaurant the most but all his classic songs are featured. He was at the peak of his performance here and his best songwriting was from the late 70's to the early/mid 80's. Thanks for the great upload!
I like when the backup singers messed up the lyrics on the first part of "It's Still Rock n Roll to me." LOL
Scenes from and Italian Restaurant what a masterpiece
This is amazing. Thanks for posting. These were the shows that got me into Billy. I also recorded from TV (here in Scotland) at the time. This is a massive upgrade. Great job!
Me too ... without this concert...well who knows!?!?
Me too.xx
Billy Joel in his prime excellence.
This must be the only proper live recording of "Tell her about it" and the "An innocent man tour". Great concert!
@@johnnyspinning great show!
Uno dei migliori concerti in assoluto .... Piano Man il miglior songwriter e performer in assoluto
my favorite music is pressure
thank you
Mine is Uptown Girl and Piano Man! I can actually play the harmonica riff to it
You have done an absolutely brilliant job with this Matthew. Billy should be thanking you for all your work.
Thanks! You're welcome!
I'm definitely going to be watching this on the TV. The set list for this show and performance is amazing. Got love the speed in which he plays prelude/angry young man.
Guao, este caballero es un genio, amo su voz, canciones e interpretaciones. Demasiado bueno❤
Listen boy
I don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away
You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made
She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure
Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe
'Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait, you got to
Tell her about it
CUDOWNE DZIECKO BOGA AMEN ❤ LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ PIĘKNO DUSZY PORYWA DZWIĘKI AŻ DO NIEBIOS ....BRAWO MISTRZU😍

OverviewLyricsVideosListen
I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance
But I really needed stimulation
Though it was only my imagination
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
When am I gonna take control get a hold of my emotions
Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night
You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance
I don't want to deal with outside action
Only you can give me satisfaction
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
Sure it would be better if I had you here to hold me
Be better baby but believe me it's the next best thing
I'm sure there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets
Don't be afraid to say the words that move me
Anytime you want to tell them to me
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
