About two weeks ago I heard this version for the very first time. I was spellbound and still am! I've known and loved the song since long, and I adore Billy Joel. The combination is awesome! I like his expressive version much more than Elton's.
@lyricistgirl - The orignal by Elton was better but in the last few years or so, Billy does it the best. Elton doesn't have that vocal power that he used to have in the 70s and early 80s. Billy still does. So I do agree with you and then again I don't. It depends on which version you are talking about. The Elton from the Lp, the Elton from concerts from 70s to early 80s, or the recent Elton.
I BELIEVE THIS WAS RECORDED AT GIANTS STADIUM IN 1994 DURING F2F TOUR..AWESOME VERSION

Elton cannot do it in the original key anymore, but Billy does here. Very impressive.

I believe it's the both of them who are singing, for this is their Face 2 Face concert

I feel rather disloyal saying this but... he sings it better than Elton.

@lyricistgirl how can he sing better than eltons own song, nothing can be better that the original.

@lyricistgirl Yes....NOW. Elton's voice isn't nearly what it was in 1973. But there's no comparison to Elton's original 1973 version
