Billy Joel - Root Beer Rag

[fptlax2]

i don't care what you say about that 16 year old nobody can jamm on the keys like billy

[Bertybaws1]

Theres a guy in my school thats got a scholarship in Piano at the Dunfermline Cathedrall. He played this piece at an award ceremony at my school i swear cover you're eyes and you would think it's Billy Joel playing it he's opnly 16 aswell.

[cornflakeisme]

hehe my college band is playing this, im on sax xP love it!!!!

but its so hard!!! lol

[downhillkid29]

ha nice

i know what you mean i played it last year for a sax quartet at my highschool...its crazy

[thechampbaby]

good song.. almost as good as "the root beer song"

[Rasengan450]

Billy Joel  is to piano what Jimi Hendrix was to guitar a god

[nyarfdude]

That is the TRUTH! Billy Joel is the MAN

[JamesLiveProductions]

True man true!

[KENVAIL]

the thing that bugs me is this, why doesn't he put out an lp of new material, if he tours all the time, can't we get some new music? it's been 15 years since 'river of dreams'.

[LanceTheBlueKnight]

I think he's sort of retired, isn't he? I went to see him in concert in November, so I know he's still touring... but he's an old man now, and I doubt he needs the money. lol

[niamhorourke]

OLD?!?!?!?!?

[pianollama52]

He'll be 60 next year... so yeah, he's pretty old, ahaha.

But he's still unbelievable.

[JFelipe6]

I think he doesn't have to make some new material, the music that he always has played is amazing...

[RockleeME]

i play this song but i wish i could do it as good as billy no one in the world can

[saxdude05]

Billy is an amazing pianist and no one could play this song any better...VERY NICE

[NightwolfsCanto]

i just got the sheets yesterday and it's pretty easy to learn :) though I cant it play in such a tempo :D but I'm still learning.

it really makes a lot of fun !!

[Leenie83]

That is why Billy Joel is GOD :)

[joeshays]

I started learning this when I was about 10, but I never finished it, untill I was about 14! It's so cool to see this guy play! im jealous... GO BILLY!!!

[EwisAngel]

I was there! :DDD

[BjoelRocks]

I have one thing to say about this. WOW

[haynet1962]

No-one plays 'the Rag' faster than Billy J! Brilliant!

[Drazzke]

Wow, very nice... Amazing... I can play it, even though I am only 14... took a long time to learn...

Amazing!

[remyhy]

Same here Draz! I'm a little bit younger than you though.

[paintball705]

Nice video. That song is sick, i play it, but not that fast!

[PricelessYostess]

this song is very hard to play at first but it gets easier you learn to play it faster i can play this too its one of my all-time favorites!!!

[mebevinny]

Billy just dominated 'pop piano' for 20 years. It's good that he can get playful and show Root Beer Rag off.

[WutherSoxDenton]

he plays it so damn fast!

[serenasirena]

You play it pretty fast too. You should post a video of you playing it. It's a really good song.

;)

[Werdtourmother]

this is so cool

[bpwp22]

thanks

[bpwp22]

This sounds like noise?thats all.

[tdmize15]

Turn the volume down...it comes thru pretty clear as long as the volume isn't too high.

Try adjusting the volume on the Youtube screen and on your speakers separately.

[JoelFan]

I was at that concert that was one of the high lights for me although most people in my section were using the time to hit the rest rooms me Personally I was up and dancing during that song well I was pretty much dancing and singing every line during the whole show

Thanks for the Great Upload!

Do I dare ask do you have anymore from that great show?!

[chrisdelbosque]

I went to this show in Atlanta and I've never been happier watching him live. He was amazing. He even cracked several pretty good jokes as well.

[roarbaa7]

saw him in raleigh, that song was utterly sick

[mish711]

an he's so freaking amazing - saw him in Raleigh last week! My 2nd time seeing him!

[tdmize15]

I love how he looks bored during it...like "is this supposed to be hard?"

Wow...

[timmay41189]

he's so good... lol

[LamaDingDong78]

awesome!
