Makes me laugh when ppl comment on performers ability to sing dwindling as they get older, that's what happens when you get older, ability fades. Real music's not about pitch perfect tones anyway, it's far from the point, the man can still stand in front of anyone and humble them..
Man I hope this doesn't sound rude, but he reminds me of jeff conway when he was on celebrity rehab. Its really weird. The whole video seriously sounds like a karaoke rendition.
i still believe his wonderfull when he sang it with timothy b schmit oh my god what a wonderfull song i will be seeing him on november his such a wonderfull guy he might be a bit vague but his still a wondefull guy and at his age there are plenty in the nurseing home who have never sang god bless brian i will see you soon big hugs
He was just used to playing live again, I've seen him twice and I cried like a baby, he's one of the best ever, and so is his band. Thanks for posting this. :-) (smile)
Love this, but what's with Brian not playing the piano??? Watch, he makes no chord changes...just pressing the same keys over and over, right, left, right left...never a change. He's probably not even plugged into the board. A tad disappointing, but whatever works!

Beautiful to hear Brian sing this gem. I do wonder why he would sit behind this unplugged keyboard rather than just sing it straight to a mic or at least, for old times sake, play the bass.
As mentioned previously else where -Brian was never too relaxed on stage & when it was decided to enbark on his first Solo Tour back in 1999 - they thought it would be best for him not to have to stand holding a mic & had him sit behind the keyboard. Additionally, it was decided that it would be best for him to concentrate on the vocals {& utilize a teleprompter system to help make him more relaxed delivering all the lyrics}.
@rknnc The keyboard is there to keep him relaxed. What an audience member is paying to see is his voice matched with the performance of the band. It is a shame, expecially around 3:53 when you see the keyboard player and Brian faking at the same time. In the end, I prefer the beautiful illusion over silence. :)
This is by far the most beautiful song I have ever heard. :")

The beginning vocals sound exactly as as they did 35 years prior. Amazing

@thecwaxman His voice has changed immensely in the past 40 years. This is in no way a pitch-perfect performance.

@ryogaskate most people can't tell the difference between when someone is off-pitch or is singing too flatly

At least his vocals are live,how many acts do you see nowadays with pre recorded tracks and vocals.
