@Susana1027 Absolutely corect on all accounts. I've been a big Billy Joel fan for many years, and I've not found anybody that I can really compare him to...he's just his own bag of tricks, even if he does look like a fat, old rabbi these days. Cheers, and enjoy!
...oh, wow, if you could find Tell Her About It on piano and upload it here, I would literally fall in love with you. When I saw him this year, he didn't do anything from An Innocent Man except Keepin' the Faith, like he did at your concert.
Actually, yeah, he moves around quite a lot - especially during It's Still Rock And Roll To Me. At the end of the show, he was looking pretty exhausted, though he still put out just as much energy as he always had. (Although I'm only sixteen and thus not lucky enough to have seen him at his prime, so I can't quite say that in ALL honesty.)
Ahh.... Thanks. That makes sense, actually. There isn't any piano in this, right? So it wouldn't make sense for him to be sitting down and singing it, so logically he'd need to get up and dance.... And I love him, but I'm not sure he's quite fit to drag himself around the stage all that much anymore. =P
i love billy joel, i hate that the new artist crapy ppl from the 2000's sing about crap and its rap and shit, it aint music, billy joela nd the older stuff that is msuci!! and billy sais he doesnt like this song but i love it and im sure others do to its a great song, i love the fact that all of his albums are different styles, i have his book and it sais that he does that so he isnt boring and stuff, and he likes different styles. wich is great he is great!! the best of all time
Yeah, I am only 20. But for a man who is nearly 60, he is still pretty active. During Big Shot he usually walks around the whole stage and attempts to look like a rapper lol.
The energy in his performance, and the coolness of his appearance is just phenomenal
I'd just like to say that this music from the 80's is about ten times better than the music this century.
This is when he was RED HOT! Thank you for posting. I Love It!
This song runs along inside my brain whenever i saw her during
college days..my wife
I learned all of my dance moves from this man. I'm a hit on the dance floor. x)
When I saw him back in 06, he sang Keeping The Faith & Innocent Man. Also sang Uptown Girl, during the encore, he moved around the stage a fair bit.
yeah its pretty much the same dancing he does in the music video...love it!
he still has the energy to do this song. havnt you seen big shot at the live at the toyko dome, he's all over the place

I think this may be better than the studio version. He's rockin'!
Awesome live performance

Too bad he doesn't do this live anymore.
I think that he nails the song, but for some reason, Billy's voice sounds so much better when he's behind or accompanied by the piano.

Oh my God ... I thought this was just one of those that he never does live.... Thank God he does (or at least did.) Does anyone know why he stopped?

@bherber Supposedly, Liberty was talking crap about his wife, well, former wife, the 23 year old. Seems like the Libster was correct after all.

Oh God, and I sat at the Universtity while he stepped like hell....
Haha, yeah. He can totally pull of the look, too. =P
holy crap
He has said that he dislikes this song.
Stellar singer/songwriter dancer, not so much. :-)

I can see Dodger singing this song.
I will take advise from a man that has been maried about 4 times!
Billy Joel can dance? Whodda thunk?
Oh boy you should see the uptown girl live one
Great performance, but God he must have been coked up when he did this one.
He was singing angry there. Christie lost a good egg. Didn't appreciate what she had.
They did not get married until the following year after this performance.
ZzzA!
