I always took that line to be like a "mad lib".....you know, he says (insert your name).....rather than "Bill" being part of the lyric. It annoys some people that I do that, but I just think it would be strange to sing it without using my own name. ;-) Thanks!
I liked the "Steve I believe this is killing me..." too. Tried to sing that with my own name in there then Paul came back next swing talking to Davie. Doesn't work for me - lol.
I love how you played it in the same key that Billy currently plays it in to accommodate with his aging voice. Not only that, but I love how you said “and I just say” right before transitioning to the piano solo like Billy. Very marvelous cover right there!
you're just crazy. This is the best cover on youtube yet, in my opinion. Not only is your voice the most matching one, but also the piano and the harmonica are genuine
Bloody fantastic, just love it and I've heard about 200 concerts of this song by BJ. My favourite song. I've got over 250 bootlegs at least. I think a new updated version again would be great, just for variety with a few of BJ newer things he does with the song. What do you think Steve?
Wow. Boss, I saw some of your other work but the perfection here is ridiculous. I hope you're doing fine cause you deserve to be doing quite well with talent(and hard work) like this.
While there is only 1 Billy Joel in the world, there are countless covers of all of his hits, especially Piano Man, that are wonderful just like this one!
Absolutely Superb, A First Class Performance! "They Say" "You get out what you put in" and you obviously were "All In" and did your work, it most definitaly shows. Thanks so much for entertaining me, I thoroughly enjoyed it (3X worth). James, San Diego, Ca. USA
Good stuff, Steve. I never really cared for Billy Joel until I started playing piano. It was actually you that got me into his music. I spent weeks going over your tuition of New York State of Mind and I've cracked it. I also learned Against All Odds from your videos. I'm going to have a crack at this one now. It looks hard though. Your tuition is the best. Much appreciated. Thanks mate.
Fun, fun, fun. By the way, I like your style of the rolling lower octave chords that keep the beat going in many of your piano covers of more up-tempo songs. Basically I'm enjoying. Thank you sir.
I am very tempted now to learn to play a piano.. you have the perfect voice for this song, and your cover is better than the original (and I am a Billy Joel fan). Thanks for brightening up my day!
I totally just realized during this extraordinary performance of an all time classic great when you replace Bill with your name Steve, I myself wouldn't have to do that because my name is William!
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Steve, this is absolutely fantastic. I'm a HUGE fan of Billy despite my age and where I live, and have listened to many covers of this song, and yours is by far the best. I honestly think you have a better voice than Billy. Also, if you don't mind me asking, what state are you from? I can normally make out accents from different states but can't quite work out yours.
You are very kind! I'm originally from Nebraska (fairly "accent-less" place), and reside in Nevada these days. Thanks again for your very high compliments!
Just looked up “Piano Man on a keyboard” and this popped up. I really want to buy myself a keyboard so I wanted to see if Piano Man sounded good on one. So amazed with this. You’re so talented! God bless you.
Man this guy is totally on top of his game, best cover of this song on youtube by far.
Thanks Paul! Really appreciate your kind words! :-)
2:22
Well done with that "He says Steve.."

@@PianoManSteve Awesome artistic license. :)

This is THE best cover I've seen of this song.

check again
@@floofypoofybread this one is better
@@bobinsk18 in what way?
@@floofypoofybread every way
@@floofypoofybread check your hearing bud, Steve nailed it. The other one sounds like a failed Agt audition
I love how you played it in the same key that Billy currently plays it in to accommodate with his aging voice.
Not only that, but I love how you said “and I just say” right before transitioning to the piano solo like Billy. Very marvelous cover right there!
4:44 - "And the piano sounds like a carnival" - I love the word-painting!
The man's got chops!!!! Both piano AND vocal. Billy'd be proud!
you're just crazy. This is the best cover on youtube yet, in my opinion. Not only is your voice the most matching one, but also the piano and the harmonica are genuine
This is actually sick, deserved more views. Three instruments at once :OOOO
4:58 to 5:02 - Shows how much you're feeling the music. Lovely cover!!
Thanks!
If I heard this in person I would absolutely give all I had just to keep listening. You rock dude
Simply the best cover of this song 🎶… Amazing 🙏🎶💪😎

I get chills every time I hear the piano solo. Keep it ip
Omg Steve that was absolutely spectacular, wow!

Thanks!
Your amazing bro. I even learned the Miami 2017 song from you 👍
Wow!! Seriously wow!

*This is the best cover I've ever seen I mean from all covers not only of this song.*
Oh wow. The high and low notes were absolutely awesome.
You and Liam Cooper have some of the best covers on UA-cam. Great job!!
This is one of the best cover i've ever heard
Woaw Wonderful, thank you very much, greetings from The Netherlands.

Of all the comments I read about you I haven't the words to more justify your gift, you are amazing, Robert Burns from South Africa
That sense of pride towards the end. Absolutely on point.
Wow. Boss, I saw some of your other work but the perfection here is ridiculous. I hope you're doing fine cause you deserve to be doing quite well with talent(and hard work) like this.
Wow, thank you! That’s very high praise and I shall endeavor to deserve it with future videos 😎🎹🎶🎤👍
While there is only 1 Billy Joel in the world, there are countless covers of all of his hits, especially Piano Man, that are wonderful just like this one!
As me and covid battle it out, I find comfort in this rendition of one of my favorite songs
Thanks....get well soon! :-)
This is what I'm here for. Piano + Harmonica and the words. Wish I could do this shit!
If I could like this twice I would. Fantastic
I honestly was not expecting that voice. total surprise. but very VERY nice.
This is by far the best cover of this song on UA-cam
Thanks so much! :-)
Great job mate. Ibrox Stadium is the greatest sight that I have ever seen 😉

Absolutely Superb, A First Class Performance! "They Say" "You get out what you put in" and you obviously were "All In" and did your work, it most definitaly shows. Thanks so much for entertaining me, I thoroughly enjoyed it (3X worth). James, San Diego, Ca. USA

Yes, rock and roll lives in that keyboard, my man. Yes.
Wow. Just amazing sir
I am very tempted now to learn to play a piano.. you have the perfect voice for this song, and your cover is better than the original (and I am a Billy Joel fan). Thanks for brightening up my day!
nice command of the keys
Billy Joel wud be honored!
awesome vocals, harmonica and piano playing
Cant believe how good this is..what a voice !
Dude! You're absolutely righteous. Awesome
Woooow! I just can't believe what I hear and see!
You're incredible, Steve!
I followed your piano lesson
Certainly put a smile on my face!
Steve that was awesome. Thanks so much for an update version of your cover.
You have an outstanding voice
Cool playing
that is really, really good....
Great cover version. I cant help but notice that the piano is transposed down a full tone which makes it sound identical to the live version. Cheers.
Fantastic!
That was outstanding.
Thanks! :-)
Marvelous!
Thanks! :-)
WoW!!! THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
wow man... tremendous!!!
I totally just realized during this extraordinary performance of an all time classic great when you replace Bill with your name Steve, I myself wouldn't have to do that because my name is William!
Steve you got it ! Great !
wow. I didn't realize that you played the harmonica as well. this is GREAT! You are very talented. Keep up the good work.
You're simply the best. I started loving listening and playing Billy Joel because of you. Keep on doing those nice covers please!
Underrated
Fantastic
You're awesome, Steve. Thanks to you I can play Elton Johns Your Song. Not as well as you do, but i got the tutorial you made nailed now.
Brilliant Steve! great to see you back.
Im speechless. This is better than the original
I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
