A man and his piano. I’m lucky to have lived when I have, able to watch this master performance this masterpiece I’ll never really understand why this composition affects me the way it does. But it is powerful…and incredibly beautiful.
Absolutely one of the best. Outstanding Billy Joel is a genius musical genius. That’s all I could say probably so hard to sing and play piano and write a song I couldn’t imagine.
This piece digs deeper into Billy's bipolar see saw between happiness and despair than any other of his tunes I know of. I think it's one of this true musical genius's finest and mos memorable songs, although it is but one of many great songs Billy wrote and the band arranged. Great job, Billy and the guys!
One of the best! He has explained this song as part of his inner struggles as a young man and it's expressed in the piano playing, His left hand is "sadness"and his right hand is "euphoria". Brilliant!
Wow, I never knew that. Makes so much sense: the unity of form and content! Joel is just such a naturally intelligent person, despite lack of formal college degree. actually probably better that " standard " education did not socialize his uniqueness out of his creative life.
Such a profound song about the thin thread that allows to us hang on to our sanity. If there is oens single song from this talented man that reonates with me, this is it. Bravo.
That is because the left hand is the low end and the right hand is the high end of the notes. No different than the bi-polar manic-depressive existence many brilliant minds endure.

Billy Joel sounded great at this venue. Songs in the Attic will always be a favorite of mine because it got me to explore some of his Pre- Stranger Material!
This song is about as close as you're going to get to perfection. Billy composes the music before he writes his lyrics and his synchronization of the two is truly extraordinary because you would think he had to write the lyrics first.
i can't even express how much my love for this man grows, since i was 13 and now am 22. ah, if only i could play half as well as he, what a freaking genius, and magical inspiration.
A STELLA VERSION of one of my favourite and most beautiful songs from one of my number one artists (,the other is Elton John). Thank you very much for the upload I really appreciate it.
This is the song of my life, my life indeed, and I remember when we listened it with my best friend… hope you can listen it also where are you now and that we will get together again…
This is one of my absolute favorite songs by this incredible performer. Amazing performance. "It's either sadness or euphoria"...and both have the power to make me cry. Oh how I love man's music!
Thanks Billy! You were blessed with wonderful music and I was blessed to be able to listen! Amazing lyrics! It is now 2013 and this song means more now, then it did when you wrote it!
As a professional & semi-professional bass player for the past 30 years who is now a public school music teacher, I just think he's freakin' talented (and yes, his music touches my soul too.)
replace one note..and there would be diminishment...replace one phrase...and the structure would fall..my favorite scene form Amadeus and fits perfectly here!!
As a former New Yorker, I have to say he formed a lot of the listening habit for teenagers through the 70's/80's, including mine. He sounds very good for his age. This was a great song.
9 febbraio 2024 .... Dopo aver visto Piano Man ai Grammy ... Sono tornato qui ❤️.... Talento completo ... Da giovane live era un portento ed ancora oggi non scherza 😜 Ai Grammy si è nettamente elevato sugli altri famosi ospiti 🎿👏🎹👏🎹
never get tired of this. i was looking at the name of the song , and can't help but think there should be a comma between the words Summer and Highland. i don't know ..... it just fits for me
Actually, as a matter of fact, it seems to me that the way he plays it like this is the most depressing. The way played on the album is the happiest and the way he plays it present-day in concert at a lower tone is so-so.

Among,if not,his greatest piece of work..in my opinion as a huge Billy Joel fan..stupendous!
I'm so surprised this great song hasn't be picked up by sports producers over the years because it often is , sadness or euphoria in sports.
@@graemeandrew8747 agree wholeheartedly
100%. My fav!!
Utterly outstanding. Def in the top 3 Billy songs.
“Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover’s eyes…”. “Our reason coexists with our insanity”. Just love this song.

That is brilliant!
He has also said it's about his struggles with bi-polar. Or Manic-Depression.

Interesting take
I did not know that. It has always been my favorite but now, even more so
How I adore this song..so very much..❤🎉😊
This song makes me high ✌️❤️
I love this song so much

Our generations most impressive lyricist. This is my favorite.
16 febbraio 2023---- ascolto per la millesima volta il talento di Piano Man in questo autentico gioiello ...
How amazing to have been there! Would so love to see Billy Joel at a venue like this and not some huge arena.
regardless of your feelings on Hamilton in general, this is such a powerful and perfect performance. i cry every time i watch this.
2024: a masterpiece
19- marzo 2023 ... Ancora qui .... Non resisto ... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
The opening. The best he ever did.
I can't stop crying. I'm so sick...and this remains me of my youth in Rockland County, NY.
I love your comment, I’m still in my youth, but I feel a sort of preemptive nostalgia from reading this and hearing this song
I could see that if it was called Summerr, Haverstraw or Summer, Nyack , but HF is in Orange County.

23 novembre 2023 ... Ancora ascolto e guardo il talento di Piano Man
It's the way he feels that piano. Genius. I saw him live at Wembley in 1986, wonderful.
Billy Joel sounded great at this venue. Songs in the Attic will always be a favorite of mine because it got me to explore some of his Pre- Stranger Material!
Non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare questa canzone x me la migliore il piano e la voce si fondono dando vita ad un capolavoro
He's the greatest. Hands down ❤
The pride of Long Island!
Long Island in the house.
No! The Long Island Duck is!!
Just kiddin'
My favorite. A musical genius and a great person too
this is the defining song of my life I think.
I agree with you completely. It’s been 9 years tho, idk if you’ll see this
@@tomkurtz3848and 3 years later will you see this? Where are we?

One of my all time favorite songs! 😊
This song is true sadness or euphoria.
love Billy Joel, my idol. Loving this in lockdown in Australia sept 2021
Great piece of art! Absolutley stunning""
What a wonderful performance ! He sang the song being accompanied with only a piano in the music hall !
My favorite
As a professional & semi-professional bass player for the past 30 years who is now a public school music teacher, I just think he's freakin' talented (and yes, his music touches my soul too.)
Una delle migliori di Billy Joel Ma le sue canzoni sono tutte di gran livello
Concordo!
The best Billy Joel song.
Love this guy. So talented
replace one note..and there would be diminishment...replace one phrase...and the structure would fall..my favorite scene form Amadeus and fits perfectly here!!
Best done raw. Billy Joel is a musical genius.
This guy is a genius
Gives me goosebumbs and a warm happy feeling everytime I have the pleasure to listen to this song....
Just ONE of Billy's finest tunes. Amazing lyrics!
Honesty is such a lonely word. But mostly what he gave us.
best song ever
Yes. Always makes me
Melancholy
This is the song that lead me to his musical genius.
Fantastic song. One of my favorites of his.
Billy will always be handsome in my eyes, what a beautiful voice he has
Amazing voice composer pianist all Over the Times
Incredible
Without a doubt one of his best. Check out the Shea Stadium version - it ROCKS
my favorite Billy Joel song...ironically we both had the same vocal teacher!
Same, this is also my favorite, among many. But this is #1
Always loved this song.
Billy is a GOD when it comes to music,... His music touches my soul,.. and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way.
my favorite song
Che meraviglia ..... Talento inimitabile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Billy!!! You're the greatest!
I was about ten years old when this came out, on the album Cold Spring Harbor. I loved this song and didn't understand why it never got more attention
This came out on turnstiles not cold spring harbor
As a former New Yorker, I have to say he formed a lot of the listening habit for teenagers through the 70's/80's, including mine. He sounds very good for his age. This was a great song.

Favorite artist EVER!!!! Best song!!
Anche per me il miglior songwriter Piano Man
This song is one of my favorites
Masterpiece.
And yet...also a work in progress simultaneously. But then again, so are both sadness and euphoria.
No one can touch him, period
I love this song and now my Kids do. Beautiful song excellent musician
Ogni tanto riguardo questo filmato ..... Mi chiedo esiste qualcuno al suo livello musicale ? Che classe!!!!!
never get tired of this. i was looking at the name of the song , and can't help but think there should be a comma between the words Summer and Highland. i don't know ..... it just fits for me
wish he would play in concert.
I think is a bigger influence than he would admit to but he is a great artist. I love Billy Joel!!
Flawless!
love this tune!
I can relate as well,being a piano player all my life and a loyal billy joel fan all my life
after all, his sound is never change...
Per Piano Man la musica un gioco facile 🎹👏🎹👏🎹👏🎹👏🎹👏
I love this song. Nice performance.
This will always be the most poignant of his songs, and he's sung a few.
Here because I'm reading the Humans of New York Santa story!
outstanding
Had to come listen..after Humans of New York
It actually came out on the album turnstiles mary grzeskowiak
Genius
what would we do without him
Anyone else read HONY story from Santa and need to hear the song?
Well done mate !
ビリージョエルも昔ききまくっていたが、ビリージョエルの音楽はプリンスやスティービーワンダーにも影響を受けてる。
You're the best
Quei 5 non mi piace .... Forse sono prevenuti con Billy .... Una tale musicalità non si riscontra in nessun altro artista.
Actually, as a matter of fact, it seems to me that the way he plays it like this is the most depressing. The way played on the album is the happiest and the way he plays it present-day in concert at a lower tone is so-so.
You would make Billy happy with this comment.
