[jpr9292]

billy joel is the shit.

[DogSwede1]

He looks like that Keenan Cahill or what's his name at ~ 1:12 :D

[saidder]

Dang, look at Liberty Devito!! So much energy!

[poopsyproductions]

Why couldn't I have been born earlier? I'm stuck with the shitty stuff being spewed out now. I would kill to have been born in earlier times. Now I'm 15 in the shittiest times for music!

[SecretService80]

Did you know that the man holding Billy's coat at about 5:22 during "Big Shot" is a bodyguard preventing someone from pulling him into the crowd?

[kcufmalsi]

@SecretService80 You're joking right? That was Mark Rivera (sax-dude). Sheesh.

[SecretService80]

@kcufmalsi I saw this comment coming. I realized that about 4 seconds after I wrote the comment and I kept forgetting to correct myself. By the way, because it is entirely possible that it could've been a bodyguard, (See Video: "Billy Joel-Uptown Girl/Big Shot (live)" under "hermitmcdermitt999"'s profile) You didn't have to be so rude, It was an absent-minded mistake.

[rafalweb]

Mar, R, luv ya and your sax, but what's with that pink hat????

[akirabill]

若い

[goldbeachsurfer]

Get back behind the piano and do what got you here!

[eroticdriving]

I love the fact that, if you didn't know he was running around, you'd never be able to tell from his voice. XD

[BlackCountryPuddler]

Too fast Bill

[lfgalbraith]

@BlackCountryPuddler He didn't have a chance! The band started it with too fast of a tempo!

[bodgely]

you can really hear that the whole innocent man was a tribute to frankie valli and the four seasons, especially the my..ii..iiine bits

[bizinessfirst]

1:12 i love the face billy makes LMAO

[saidder]

@bizinessfirst What I find amazing is how he does all those faces and acting and running and dancing and still performs the vocal wonderfully!

[bizinessfirst]

@saidder true indeed!!!!!

[musicman3808]

The hand clappers are the New York Affordables horn section

[lovejones1219]

2:13-2:18..he's got professional handclappers on stage!!!

[lovejones1219]

his facial expressions and gestures are priceless

[imyourdaady]

my idol

[KILLACLOWN28]

I saw Billy at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island 1999, grew up listening to him but was always into hard rock/metal. Still that show was the most amazing show I've ever seen from anyone/anywhere and I live on goin to concerts. BTW he plays so much better when he's drunk,,fuckin character he is,,truly amazing. Totalled 9 shows already seein him also w/ elton,,,hands down none better those 2 together. this video is a mega CLASSIC, thanx for posting

[TimTehPilot]

drummer is like whailing away...

[DogSwede1]

Nice one,, :D

[cmor5705]

This was a great concert.

Can you post the video of 'sometimes a fantasy and still rock & roll to me'?

There was some great guitar playing by David Brown.

Thanks.............

[DundeeBhoy2007]

Hi there, I think I have those songs, check my channel for the whole show. I think it's only angry young man I missed due to the quality.

[cmor5705]

Thanks DundeeBhoy, but I think there are a few songs missing.

It was a long concert. It was originally shown in two programmes over two days on BBC.

But thanks again for the one's you have uploaded, great to see them again.

[Copie0178]

@cmor5705 Was It A 2 Hour Set?

[cmor5705]

I can't remember if it was 2 hours.

The first half was shown live on BBC, then the second half was shown the next day (or next week maybe, can't remember exactly, it was nearly 26 years ago).

I still have the whole concert on a Beetamax tape somewhere.......but I don't have a Betamax video player now.

[Copie0178]

@cmor5705

I have the concert on VHS but it is partially taped over. (by accident)

I'm just trying to find a replacement for it.

I'm sure you can buy a DVD version somewhere.

[thebestbillyjoel]

Is there an angry young man performance from this show

[rafalweb]

God Bless Youtube for allowing for great stuff like this to finally be available to us. thanks for sharing, you're a saint.

[computes41]

What's the name of this DVD/VHS?

[DundeeBhoy2007]

This was shown on BBC Tv over two parts, it was called from Piano Man to An Innocent Man. I dont think it has been released commercially.

[nagaslrac]

One more barbarina!!

[rafalweb]

I think he said "margarita".....

[nagaslrac]

Ha! You're right. I've had this concert for more than 20 years and had it wrong the whole time.

I thought he wanted four more beats but he wants more booze.

Margarita makes much more sense.

Cheers.

[PhantasyStarOST]

Great, especially ending of UG.

Thanks.

[thebestbillyjoel]

Mad performance. Billy is awesome
