    God I went to a concert with these two in 2011, God Lord it was massively wonderful. Every single tune of both an exquisite mind-blower; as they sang each other's tunes down through time....I cried so many tunes away.....Good Lord Heaven!

    Go to one of his concerts and watch him, at 65 years old, singing live for almost 3 hours without a break. Then say he can't sing anymore. He consistently sings live all around the world and can still sell out stadiums just him and the piano, he's certainly got something special that artists these days haven't had to work quite as hard for.

    This song is too 'Billy Joel-ish' so that this time Elton can't make it sound like it were one of his hits, such a rare thing to be honest.
    Fantastic tune from the late '70s.

    I would guess roland......becuase the yamaha modules have much less expansion bays. Billy plays on an old NY steinway. I think their microphone system is an earthworks bar microphone system designed for acoustic pianos......retails around 3k for the mic. I play on a tyros 4 yamaha and I have the just the way you are sound down.....check it out on my page..... but I just use the stock yamaha tones.

      Are you that stupid? Billy Joel started playing music in the 60's like Elton. They both achieved fame within a few years of each other and sing differently and write songs that don't sound like each other! Do your damn homework and just because your a fan of Elton's don't rag on Billy! Both are fabulous musicians and legendary entertainers!

    • @Thevolumex
      @Thevolumex 7 років тому +1

      Sorry Linda.. I'm realist and you a fan of Billy.. He says elton was a his hero. Not the opposite. Elton is another planet artist. and his hits around the world are ten times Billy who, outside the Usa, is almost unknow if not for 2-3 songs

    • @colinmcphan
      @colinmcphan 7 років тому +3

      +Thevolumex I'm truly sorry your so ignorant on your musical knowledge. Next time please do your homework. Neither gentleman is ten times above the other in musical talent. In other words there both brilliant and super talented artists and songwriters, have both sold a ton of records in various countries, have both toured in numerous countries and sold out in multiple stadiums and arenas and are fans of one another. By the way Ray Charles is the artist that Billy Joel most looked up to his entire life along with the Beatles. Billy also has fans around THE WORLD asking him to come play in there country again. That's pretty odd considering that you said....."He is barely known outside of America". By the way....I am a huge fan of Elton's and Billy's and have CD'S of both and had there records growing up. Next time please do your homework and respect both of these fine artists. I'm sure whatever country your from it is possible to get on the internet and look up basic information and facts. God bless.😀

    Am I the only one that thinks both Billy Joel and Elton John seemed pretty hammered that night? Both where terribly off key, slow, and the articulation was bad. Huge fan of both artists (although I prefer Billy) and both sound great both in the studio and onstage normally. Amazing what a bit of alcohol can do to a person.

    Oh my God, how dreadful they sound! If two strangers would have performed like that at a Karaoke bar they would have been booed off the stage.. They usually sound so great together, or are their voices enhanced by sound technology. Was Joel drunk? That crap sounded worse than the most toxic rap music. I am a huge fan -- of both, but that was dreadful.
