This is an obvious rip of a B&W print of the video. You can find the same video in its original (color) form at BillyJoelVEVO's channel or by searching for the same here on YouTube.
Brillant, but sad little song of a God-less materalistic life. Pastors should play this in Church as an example of a fun-filled but empty and souless life. God bless you all.
Just don't quite get how people can actually dislike this song. Truly authentic and genuine songwriting from the heart! Perhaps, they just dislike themselves??? Whatever... It's Classic Billy Joel!
@IndygoEEI no actually this is the original music video /watch?v=HVKtL9VU8rQ&feature=related and its from 1973. this video is just video a fan made and peiced together.
I think you misunderstood what said. Yes I know of 1973 version, but the one in the 1980's that was broadcast in black and white. The official version that was posted (and now gone) was in color and most likely remastered with using original footage from the masters taken out from the vaults. This one is obviously from a VHS tape (notice the tracking lines at the bottom) and is what was played on air in the 1980's. Obviously, they never bothered to fully remaster the Official one.
This is one of the best music videos ever made and yet this is the only video of it? And with only a hundred thousand views? It's a crying shame. This is a classic that really shouldn't die.
This is one my all-time favorites. Been in the Air Force since I was 19, and every time I go home on leave my family and friends play this at the favorite local watering hole and we all drunkenly belt out the lyrics. Great song adds to a great time.
For anybody who's reading this, I'd like you to do two things. One, follow this link
metacafe.com/watch/sy-13406459/billy_joel_piano_man_official_music_video so that you can go to a webpage that has this same video with the sound synced right. Just sounds...better when it's right with the video. Also, thumbs up this comment, so people can see it and know where to go.
a classic, it brings back memories from when i was young, traving up with my family to wisconson(bar there we would visit, a close friend of the family owned, and still owns it)

It is the original version from the 80's. Unfortunately the official one is in color and it looks

supposed to be.
