So satisfying. So beautiful. So artistic. So funny. So he's a genius...I guess some people don't realize that...even people in the audience. But...he will live on into the future of music.
when I was younger and heard his song "short people" on the radio, I remember thinking it was about discrimination of adults who weren't tall....I was so dumb.
Hope you are wrong, Jake, about RN being a "genius." Geniuses don't seem to end well. May Randy & fam remain dead and not knowing it! What rapport here with choral audience.

I grew up listening to these albums, my Dad being a big fan. Still have the Vinyl in my house. and they get played at Newyears parties. Its engrained in our DNA, we love you Randy
Lovely to hear. I was about 22 when I was introduced and listened with a lot of inspiration from drugs. lol such a genius and I love Harry Nilsson too~
Its just occurred to me the confidence one has to have in their songwriting ability, especially someone who, like rand, is a brilliant orchestrator and arranger, to perform their music like this, just voice and piano.
They strike me as very politely listening to the music, seems like an ideal audience for a guy solo at the piano as opposed to a rock band. From my perspective, an ideal audience to be in if I got to see Newman
@@nathanreiber6819 Dear Nathan Reiber 6819, Please allow me a slight correction to your statement that my 3 short sentences above constitutes "a crusade against people celebrating his genius...Why do you even care, Tito Mitchito?" Randy Newman is a very talented song & soundtrack maker and recording artist. I own and love his record albums, almost all of them. I've never thought much of the times I've seen him perform, either solo or with other of the triple scale session musicians he often surrounds himself with. Although if he switched his act to stand-up comedian or storyteller I'd likely continue being a paying customer once my rent and other human necessities were paid. Randy Newman also seems to have enough taste in other artists and human beings for me to surmise he cringes whenever someone labels him a "genius." Even if like most humans such praise could lift his spirits from the depths of depression. Perhaps even offset the depravity he is attentive enough to consider and engage with across humanity and life. This impression I glean from the few interviews with him I've researched, and from the many serious reviews of his work and essays on songwriting I've read and considered to make sure I wasn't over-rating his song-making skills since I'm nobody and not formally educated in music. His songs and performances share a human touch, often expressed in dark satire. If I have any crusade it is not against calling only Randy Newman a "genius," it is calling any person who shows any relatively tiny amount of creative accomplishment a "genius" because I've seen how that kind of praise can stunt the growth of creative artists and scholars, teachers and human rights activists. (Also athletes and other competitors like politicians and policy-makers). Only historians or serious essayists should be taken seriously enough to label someone a "genius" and only after doing a serious appraisal of that rare person's life's work in broader human context. Thanks for your kind interest, Nathan Reiber, in my few venues left for expressing myself as the journalism career path has seemed to be in serious decline for much of the part of the past and present centuries that my life span has over-lapped with. Overall, I'm glad it has overlapped with such tonic muses as Randy Newman, much better off as he is without schlepping around the GENIUS label. If I still had a venue to publish my impressions and comments on creative folk I'd praise Randy Newman for a career of bravely being willing to show a human touch in his songbook of character sketches. This work and play seems most concerned and engaged with Human flaws and follies that to me are far more preferable to GENIUS (with its characterizations of detached or isolated souls disengaged with da condition of da larger human condition). Most of my nightmares have been caused by humans acting inhumanely in service of EGO and PERSONAL AMBITION, not by those in true solidarity with and actively empathetic towards da anonymous condition of da futile and tragic human condition.

40:23 The best rendition of Dixie Flyer I've heard by Randy Newman. The drums, bass and guitar fills on the studio version are nice, but sadly I can't overlook the cheesy synthesized trumpet. But here the strength of the song and his piano playing really shine through!
“Line Wagner, or Mahler,,, but shittier, you know, because I don’t have that kind of talent.” Yes, yes you do - “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” -saved me many times
"This is a song about a murderer." Yes - though not really about the murderer he describes in the song, but a different one. Clever, horiffic and hauntingly beautiful.
8 I'm dead: The great Ed Bickert was an exception to the rule. He stopped playing the guitar in 2000 and never touched it again until his death in 2019. However, he was a jazz musician and not a rock&roll guy.
Notice how Randy Newman doesn't mention Elton John. Elton John is the most amazing LIVE SOLO PIANIST, next to Liberace. Search "Elton John Solo" to see. Marty Sammon is the best Blues Pianist I've ever seen in person.
Do performers usually just mention other similar performers while on stage? Wtf are you talking about? He does, by the way complement Elton Johns talent many times in interviews. Aside from that, most amazing solo pianist?! Seriously? Fuck no. Keith Jarret, Chick Corea, Hiromi, Martha Argerich, Art Tatum even people like Dr. John and the whole New Orleans tradition are far better andnmore entertaining than john and liberace as soloists.

Mooi het lied I miss you. Al zo vaak gehoord, gezongen zelfs in de tijd dat mijn lief uit onze tijd weg vloog naar de sterren 🎉
Just a man and his Piano. Pure Talent. Randy is an absolute legend.
I grew up listening to these albums, my Dad being a big fan. Still have the Vinyl in my house. and they get played at Newyears parties. Its engrained in our DNA, we love you Randy

Randy is a strange one for a party lol. But also sounds like my kind of party.
Its just occurred to me the confidence one has to have in their songwriting ability, especially someone who, like rand, is a brilliant orchestrator and arranger, to perform their music like this, just voice and piano.
"There's people talking over and joking all over my music throughout the whole movie."
Still got it, Randy.
brilliant
The way he jumps immediately into playing it is hilarious.
Randy Neuman: exquisite songs and lyrics, cosmic sense of the humerous. Thank You!
So beautiful and engaging...
I couldn't get my eyes off the monitor the whole time.
Randy Newman don't give a flip!🤣🤣🤣 "This is a song I wrote to my first wife while I was married to the second"
It’s so sad how little this audience gets him. He deserves so much more.
I think they're digging it, they're just Germans is all ;P
This is Germans at their wildest - unihibited, frenzied enthusiasm. Contrast this with audiences in Latin countries.
They strike me as very politely listening to the music, seems like an ideal audience for a guy solo at the piano as opposed to a rock band. From my perspective, an ideal audience to be in if I got to see Newman
Wow, I was there for the concert in Stuttgart! What a great memory! Randy Newman is a real genius
Puh-leaze. Anything but a genius! He's fine as a piano plunkin' song-maker.

Oh...man,he opens with the legendary classic from the 1970s...
👍🍺💗
god damn, this man is a pure gem
j'adore cela me ramène à mon enfance. Grand Monsieur !
A strong touch of the American Genius and Spirit - a great gift to the universe - thankyou

You should check the version from Letterman show. A true perfection!
“Line Wagner, or Mahler,,, but shittier, you know, because I don’t have that kind of talent.”
Yes, yes you do -
“You’ve Got A Friend In Me”
-saved me many times
Ahhhh, still so absolutely fantastic!!
thanks for sharing 😊... Randy Newman... maestro... a guru worth listening to... thanks again
Peace ✌️
Un artista immenso!!!
A musical treasure is he.
Who remembers “Short People” on the radio when it came out.
42:11 Car Talk theme music
I wish I was there
Thanks for this! I wish you and yours a very healthy and Happy Thanksgiving!😹
Good morning ❤
he subtly loosing the tempo intentionally on 24:50 really got me
un-be-lievable
Thanks a lot for the upload!

Randy can be very American specific which would make him a bit inscrutable to a foreign audience.
he's very popular in the Netherlands actually! his albums got gold over there
Randy Newman don't give a flip!!!🤣🤣🤣 kill everybody 🤣
Jesus....this crowd?!
Randy Newman, don't give a flip!!!🤣🤣🤣 It's a red bandanna 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Remus! Song list is fine but not much help without timestamps.
Leona?
Eine ziemliche Wiedergabeliste für ein deutsches Publikum.
12:50 the joke goes r/wooosh on the audience.
n1
I wonder what his second wife said about "I Miss You".
He has to be from the South somewhere. Let me do some research
LA born & raised but spent time in New Orleans as child. Many of his songs are semi-autobiographical.
A piano Dylan.
Notice how Randy Newman doesn't mention Elton John. Elton John is the most amazing LIVE SOLO PIANIST, next to Liberace. Search "Elton John Solo" to see. Marty Sammon is the best Blues Pianist I've ever seen in person.
Elton and Randy have worked together before. Check the soundtrack version of It’s Tough to Be a God from The Road to El Dorado.
Do performers usually just mention other similar performers while on stage? Wtf are you talking about? He does, by the way complement Elton Johns talent many times in interviews. Aside from that, most amazing solo pianist?! Seriously? Fuck no. Keith Jarret, Chick Corea, Hiromi, Martha Argerich, Art Tatum even people like Dr. John and the whole New Orleans tradition are far better andnmore entertaining than john and liberace as soloists.
Randy should not mention Elton, Elton should pay randy royalties
if my mind can change from capitalism to our social. we have to have social to save your loved ones!
