I feel my self inside in a classical jazz bar in New York, over the 70's even 80's, every time I listen to this song, smoke and whisky, beautiful women, (U know what I mean?) I think is a great song, really....I know isn't one of the Joel's best songs but I think is splendid.

@sgtpepper1138 I agree that Liberty was amazing, as was his rhythm counterpart Doug Stegmeyer, both of whom are on the original recording. I've been listening to 52nd Street since I was 4 or 5 (30 now) so I'm very familiar with the original, which is simply amazing, IMO. This seems like a pale imitation, just lacking the soul and street vibe the album had. Still pretty good though.
Carl's amazing! “I’ve got the old man’s car, I’ve got a jazz guitar, and I’ve got a tab at Zanzibar” !!! Yes! LOL!

Billy Joel performing in front of the Colosseum. Give me a limoncello and I'm set for life.

To me, this is nowhere near as grooving as the original recording. Not bad, but just too straight.

@nicjimbass one reason is Liberty isn't playing drums. His style is so savage, he's like animal from The Muppets.

Billy Joel is great, but it's too bad that he had to change the song from the original key.
Xplayer007 2 years ago
Would you rather he sing it badly in the original key - straining to hit the notes?

To be honest, I don't mind that it's in another key. It still sounds great but it's also a little bit of a variety.
