[mecano2100]

EXCELENTE INTENTO

[EmanNep3101]

When I watch a video of my favorite athletes i usually mute that video, open this in a new tab and play it with the video!

[RaulAngelDuMamarrach]

Extraordinary titanic work!. Very, very, very fine!!!

May you have an exceptional patient, in the beats, but too in the piano part!!!, because of the great complexity and longevity of the original Bruce Hornsby's theme!!

Excellent work!, pity on the improvable recording sound qualityyyyy.......!

[Sherpaful]

if anyone gave this video a thumbs down, they did it just to be an ass. This is an awesome performance!

[turfreijer]

Okay Bruce, this ain' t funny...just tell it's you playing here!!

[FoundationForLawandG]

what kind of keyboard/piano are you using?

[1991titanium]

Nice!!!

[LakicGuitar]

Come on drummer, get some balls into that playing, don't play the same thing throughout the whole song.

[turfreijer]

Great Job, until now the only one on YouTube who plays it " The way it is" ....great en so effortless!!

[AlexEnglish77]

I was hitting the thumbs up button all the way to the end of the tune. It’s just the way it is

[KantFTW]

Fantastic! Greetings from Germany, a pleasure to listen and watch.

I'd love to be able to play it that well, it's a little dream of mine! I'm learning though.

[BIGJRAD1]

Dope

[artifact234]

Could be me, but something sounds a little off in the chorus.

[brandonvids64]

Better than the original in my opinion.

[MrJoetakahashi]

This piece is the one that turned me on to U-tube.

[DRACONIS68]

very nice, but definitely the bass way is needed to give deepness to the armony and fill up the empty spaces...

[amberlehman73]

Absolutely amazing!

[ancctech]

I like the piano solo. Awesome!!

[ampney1]

Awsome Dude.



[GermanysLastHope]

who sings????

[SmilingAssassin0823]

Great job, dude.

[LeBomB1985]

Needs remaster. Higs freq little down, lower a little up, and voice louder.

[ljones4617]

Wow... you blew that song away! Great Job. You was right on point with those notes. Makes me wish I would of learned piano instead of trumpet...LOL

[loleinsfun]

voice is too quiet

[greatnumpty333]

I hope you don't mind, But i've spent the last 2 weeks following this video and now i can play!

[ofirharlev]

[Lixxe1]

[Jrizzle458]

[justinkm7122]

Damn good rendition, real clean. You're very talented.

[commandoedo]

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. One of my favourite piano pieces.

[lolliMAN101]

really really cool, but I'm trying to follow the solo from 2:35 but I can't notice the notes, can you send them to me? And the other solo to.

[Purplelicious86able]

[joynunes2000]

This is absolutely great!

[musicaljess22]

[ThePianoMan48]

You'll also find a piano tutorial on his channel ;-)

Enjoy!

[icon0x1]

where do i begin to learn

[nicconley]

I noticed that the original video from 86 isnt on Youtube anywhere. Wonder why.

[mrdeisel335]

This is one of my favorite songs.

[woody97uk]

Never tire of watching this mate :)

[kyoukilis20]

this is way better than any sheet music of it that ive heard

[emarc37]

wow.

[ldrumma2002]

Love the piano broziff...The drums kinda drowned it a little bit...over all a nice vid...

[MrSpamalot360]

what key is this written in?? thnx ;)

[DenimSaxPlaya]

1:45 C-C-C-Combo breaker!

[vcwsmit]

Piano is amazing, but the drumming is a little too loud. Nice job anyway!

[ferny104]

drumer sucks

but piano amazing

singing sucks too

thats the way it is

Changes-2pac is better

[Salvation92]

@ferny104 i hope you got a video response in which you do the both drumming and singing better since your comment evidently sucks too.

[studiodecibel]

maybe if u shoot this video again, take the snare off, play the drums, but get the power of the snare, it's just so out there. and maybe a bit slower on the ride... beautiful paino play btw love this song. Ohw nd btw: it's not meant as cracking up ur performance, but see it as some tips, try it;)

[alex1paglia]

Great job!

[AlexNDW]

Omg you play the piano better as Bruce Hornsby, perfect dude!! =)

5*

[Gebruikersnaam10011]

Too much hi-hats, love the piano ^^

[augusto48]

something never change

[WolfTeamExtreme]

30 people wanna play triangle in the song ;D 

[rednecksrock1]

Awesome work!

[Okamejor]

i would kill for getting the piano sheets..

[anongbalita]

dude, this was really freakin good. you blow pretty well too.  you've got a little Ben Folds-ish tone.

[kyoukilis20]

instead of getting the sheet music, i put this video in windows moviemaker and slowed it waaay down. i wrote down evey note you played and now i have it perfect. thanks!

[MissThaBomb]

5:02 was the worsed part. QQ!

[HeetWav13]

Love this song. And i play a variety of different instruments, piano and drums being of those variety, and i just thought that the drum track was very boring. I mean, it would have been a good pratice beat but i was waiting for even a small fill. But great job with piano

[avq5]

Awesome .. what kind of piano, sounds like an upright 

[jeffersonmelo2000]

demais, parabens

[Olufunmbi]

The best piano display I've ever seen

[LGoromonzi]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUTSTANDIN­G TALENT!!!

[QueenGoesYT]

[bassguitarmanic13]

[Feedomful]

[manuel1977l]

[MrJulianclove]

Tht waz PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!! U have got to teach me tht!

[fraesmaschine55]

GREAT PERFORMANCE

[MysTeri0usMatT7]

song always gave me the chills, freakin brilliant of a tune, I don't know why but i want to cry when i hear this, it reminds me of so many memories in my lifetime, it makes me think of all the traveling i used to do with my mom as a young kid driving on the open road taking long journey's across the country, good times, this song means a whole lot to me.

[prankster369]

Very well done...

[meneermagie]

Hey man :D really looking nice!

But, I'm having exam piano this year and I really want to do this one ;)

Any idea where I can get sheets WITH the solo's too? And yes I will pay xD :D Or did u do it by ear (I simply can't)?

Please let me know something ;D

[curriej99]

I just came across this on the net and am truly in awe of it. I am taking piano lessons at the moment and my ambition is to play this.

It's only a pity you didn't mic yourself up for the vocals, as they sound off-mic.

Nevertheless, you are a very talented pianist.

[TheStevieD182]

1 Simply WOW!!! :) Congratulations stewboz83!!!

There are so many other covers of this song on youtube now, but they all can´t keep up with this wonderful cover of you!! And I tell you why, because you really played the exact notes and soli from the original Studio-Version of Bruce Hornsby and this original version is simply the most wonderful of this song! All tries to play this song in another way, which made a lot of other piano players on youtube, just kind of ruins this song for me!! ...

[TheStevieD182]

2...So thank you so much for posting this awsome video with the original version in a perspective so that everyone has a chance to see how to play this awesome beautiful soli of Bruce Hornsby! I also play the piano for about 10 years now but I can only play this song now, because of your video!! Not as good as you of course ;) but still, thank you!! ...

[TheStevieD182]

3...And by the way... I love your piano!! I love those old metal piano-sounds. For me it has much more emotions than a usual piano sound! ... so I simply love your video! Keep it up!! ;)

Greetings from Austria!

[pyro658]

the drummer was useless in this song, the piano sounded great vocals weren't bad either...

[TheStevieD182]

@pyro658

Why should the drums be useless?? Ok, of course it is a very simple beat he plays, but thats exactly how it should be! In this song the drums are just there so that the song has certain structure and to make the sound more complete. But they defenetely have to stay in the background, because its all about the Piano part in this song!! The drum part in this video is exactly the same as in Bruce Hornsby´s studio version. So I think stewboz83 did a great job!!

[pianomex]

great moves . i wish i could find the instructions for the right hand solo part. any ideas? you should up load an instructional solo part!! nice playing.

[nslippey]

Very close to the original ! Your gifted mate, watching your hands at that angle is so cool ! The 29 dislikes just wish they had half your talent.. epic man :o)

[strikee]

Too easy

:-)

[TrappedInABikini]

Way to loud drums

[CoolSliminns]

Haha thats class

[heitzey]

Talent.

[SuperTank54]

Wow your really good but it must have been pretty annoying playing the drum part haha

[naoehnadaserio]

Do you get the piano sheet?

[POOLIEMAD]

I am a keyboard player in Uk and think this video is absolutely outstanding. Great work

[PhantasticPhotog]

Great accuracy. Good rendition.

[rbud57]

just stopping by to listen again - still one of my favorites of yours - hope life's treating you well! :)

[EllioPellio]

piano makes the song

[STRIPCHOU69]

moi qui ecoute ce morceau depuis des annees, bien reproduit, brvo!!

[wstone999]

I like your play!

[mgsapete]

Just found this while doing a bit of surfing. Brilliant keyboard, fascinating to watch. So much talent goes wasted when you see some of the crap that earns big money

[pipaCZECH]

Really good stuff ! just such a pity the piano's tuning is a bit off :(

[minisparow]

@pipaCZECH "This is my rendition of one of the greatest piano songs in my opinion." sort of says it all.

[brickmaster24]

You said on your channel your not an excellent vocalist i could help you just tell me what to sing and ill email it to you

[veketable]

28 people are jealous xD I can play piano too example pirates of the caribbean :3

[eizDown1234]

This is fantastic...

I am completely speechless. You should go professional, my friend.

Bravo! *Listens repeatedly* <33

[guydandy1]

Nailed it......

[bootyman234]

Dude you f--kn jam! I am so envious. I want to learn to play that more than anything I have heard, and I think your vid will help.

[brickmaster24]

I could play the drum part but theres no way i can play the piano part as much i want to

[DenverBroncosChannel]

nice nice nice nice nice great job

[rodrigo4p]

SOMETHINGS NEVER CHANGES!!!!

[leonardosribeiro]

i really love the piano sound!

[homePicShow1]

You are bang on the money!

[pianoman1928]

27 people are deaf

[thehighlndr]

Good job! I never learned the drums, but I played & sang it live in high school at an assembly with the entire school~1000 people. This was the 80s before tricks like AutoTune and not Gle@.

I was not really popular and was soo nervous I made a couple of minor errors that were not some of the jazz variations I made up, but only myself and a few of the music dudes even noticed;)

Real music only dies if it is forgotten!

[roysuomki]

of course so mny would love if you would do a "How To Play" of this....: )

[thehighlndr]

@roysuomki

I removed my comment as you were being rhetorical. We'll see if I have the guts to put mine on You Tube later;)

[roysuomki]

wow...well done,...

[MrKyleMac]

WOW i dont think bruce could do it better ...LOVE THE PICKUP AT 0:35
