Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young Live 1987

[ladybluluv]

That isn't true. Only the good don't die young. Many live long and many bad people die young. How dumb a statement. Better to be good then bad, even in this hell of a place in which we live. Stupid song.

[TheRimDoctor]

@ladybluluv He means only the best die young. Like Michael Jackson. Heath Ledger. Elvis.

[MariahFrances]

you tell me this wasnt a good time in the world when fans could grab his hand and try to drag him off the stage without gettig tased or carried off by security.

[flicknausi]

scary moment @ :129 ! Billy handled it like a real rock n rolla.. =))

[jjjooommm222]

I was stressing over a washboard exam I've got tomorrow, but listening to this song has put a big smile on my face. : D

I'm going to tear up that washboard tomorrow!

[DMEAD123]

Did you see the guy grab billy and not let go! geeze and he still kept singing WHAT A LEGEND!!!!

[CristianMolinaro28]

What a performance! Billy is simply great! Do you know if there is a DVD of this concert? Thank you!

[tubetubed]

How can this be 1987? The song is from 1989....

[Tolstoy111]

This song is from 1977.

[HammernHeads]

1977, idiot.

[Stags209]

At 1:40 the guy almost ripped his arm off...

[BeASimpleMan]

Surprised Joel is letting the crowd wave the flag. Joel is extremely anti-american.

[username102793]

how is that anti american?

[rafalweb]

Explain.....

[BeASimpleMan]

He has stated several times he thinks America is among the worst nations in the world, and is comprised of only fat ignorant people.

[vincentpricesnephew]

do you have documented information that say he has actually said "America is among the worst nations in the world"? because i would like to see it. and concerning the comment of America being "only fat ignorant people." have you seen people in this country lately? just walk down the street or go into your local fast food restaurant-- there they are! we are every where! and i say "we" because i admit i am "fat". as far as the "ignorant" just ask someone on the street who the 12th president was

[BeASimpleMan]

If you hate America so much, why stay?

[saidder]

You can only criticize what you understand. We live in America so we can criticize it.

[Tolstoy111]

Most people are ignorant. Look at wha the sort of junk that's popular on TV and so forth. And just where did you get that quot anyway? I've never seen it anywhere.

[Tolstoy111]

Where did you get that info? He reveres American culture.

[Onuund]

His music is the most American thing I've ever heard.

[OtisandSlayer]

[coolrunnings414]

@mission2marsden Wow, I'm impressed! The quality is very good - if it hadn't been commented on, I would have never known you "recorded the tv"! Thanks so much for posting these performances, btw, I've always loved "Koheupt" (as well as Billy's other albums)!
