Billy Joel Live at Wembley 1984 - 10 The Longest Time

[craig447]

That is the best of all time

[goodenergysevenone]

Love this version. like how they were on q

[TheSchoolWorld]

he's definitely singing in a different key or pitching it down. Not used to it, but it's still interesting.

[prosimmedia]

The backup singer on the right is Pete Hewlett. 100%.

[trezlorenz]

What a wonderful version!

[DarkWarriorXII]

The little bit he does right before he counts off to start the song almost sounds like River of Dreams!

[kcufmalsi]

On the Innocent Man album, Billy sanf every part of this song. He's the fucking best!

[Mancunian6]

Anyone know the name of the 2 backing/harmony singers on this and a couple of others? The ones on the top of the stage with Mark Rivera I mean - they do the What's Your Name bit at the start of this too. I'm not sure Billy introduces them the way he does the rest of the band earlier on in the show - although I may be wrong about that. :)

[Mancunian6]

following on from that, I know the one on the right (as you look at them) is George Simms as he also does the Bridge Tour in 1986 and there he introduces them, however the other one (in the blue jacket and ginger hair) looks nothing like Peter Hewlett who does the same song on the Bridge Tour - no gesticulations and different hair but could it be the same guy only a year and something later? Does anyone know for sure please?

[MoonageDaydreamer]

@Mancunian6 Frank & George Simms, brothers I believe, session singers etc, worked with Bowie on Serious Moonlight Tour amongst other things

[einarabelc5]

@willieIII He's not a vocalist. He's a musician who can sing. There's a difference you know.

[mytimetoshine8]

Amazing

[DrFuManChu666]

I love that song

one of his best songs

[beyonceboy92]

I've never seen Mr. Joel perform this song, but this is absolutely amazing. I have goosebumps! People say his voice is shot, but I just saw him in July and he was on top of his game! Absolutely incredible, too bad he didn't perform this w/ Elton John.

[ConjugalVisits]

This is friggen beautiful.

[reutax01]

awesome!

[lovejones1219]

WOW!! Thanku so much for posting...awesome..

[CasteloserROX101]

HES SOOO FRICKIN AWESOME IN ACAPELLA

[awilderbj]

Wow, his voice is just beautiful in this. Thank you for posting!

[benkillerqueen123]

This is bloody brilliant. I watched the American Idol version of this song and they completely killed it with their plastic way of singing songs, Billy lets the song flow, and everything isnt perfect, and thats what makes it brilliant

[thepapax04]

Well put. It's nice to just hear talent at its rawest. You don't get to hear that stuff anymore. They just let this song do its thing. American idol ruined this.

[MyKindOfBlueEyes]

This is the best version of the song ever in my opinion. He was in such great voice this evening.

[DundeeBhoy2007]

I agree, a very good version although he performed a better version on the russia shows in 87. I have only heard a short segment of it on a documentary where he jumps into the crowd while singing.
