*By Request* Captain Jack (Live)

[billsfantx]

is the answer "masticate"? (i.e. to chew?)

[KennyIngram10]

Love you Billy.

ビリジョが着てる服の模様が謎ｗｗｗ

[cuprillc2]

awesome!

[dangremillion]

too bad those of us who love this song and video do not take the message seriously enough. its ok to do the things he describes in the song, but there is more and that is job, family, commitment, responsibility, love, selflessness, the golden rule. i know cause i did both, not just the captain. there is room in everyone for both chapters.

[urcMD1]

Billy Joel is a genius and a fantastic poet. One of my idols :)

[creamydistortion]

Funny as hell! The Doors got the shaft from Ed Sullivan for saying 'higher', and 5 odd years later you could sing a song on the TV with 'get you high' in every chorus but couldn't say 'masturbate'. That thought made my day, and yes, I'm high.

[dmmacneill]

what an artist, brings back great times

[MissTherrie]

god he looks gorgeous here

[FinkChrist]

Captain Joel just got me high tonight...

[Roxannitude]

Here he looks just like my friend Hugh Waddell when we were young!!

[sedohr]

I'd love to see more from this tour...is it available somewhere ? Joel is perfect in this song, studio quality and world class performance on every instrument!

[77edster]

looks st0ned!

[hihats]

I saw Billy open for Procul Harum around this time . Elvis's ex drummer Ron Tutt was on drums

[jbharuch]

Damn, He Looks Like a Kid Here. God Bless Billy Joel!

[jbharuch]

For a Reason

[ElecticGuruofHotness]

Just F'in amazing!

[galihauli]

He is not takling about himself, he is takling about broken down man getting high with the drug dealer Captain Jack etc. etc. listen to the song

[RedMan3844]

A genius who could write, sing, and play. Better than the giants that came before him and clearly better than those that came after him. Perhaps the best of them all.

[cbazorn]

When I was 13, my boyfriend used to play this song to me,every night, over the phone, when it first came out. Needless to say, I eventually began to love the song. (can't say the same for the boyfriend). That turned out to be the best thing I got from that relationship. A love of Billy Joel!!!

[JeffK1980]

He plays this song a number of times at concerts. This was a popular hit from his 1973 "Piano Man" album. When and where was this recording from?

[12nereus]

this song is about heroin......just a little push you'll be smiling.........push as syringe

[buubacous]

@12nereus 100% agree ! My brother went out with Captain Jack in Dec. of 2006 and never came back home. I love the song but I hate heroin!

[1olrocker]

This must have been some kind of TV special because I've seen Billy in concert twice, and both times he never self-censored "masturbate" (in fact he sings that line a bit louder as the crowd sings it loud as well lol). Can't believe he would have done this if it was not some kind of broadcast TV program.

[rula42]

prt II ^^ - this song is about abuse of alcohol....but that seems to be ok...very strange...!

No hating...I do love that song, thats why i was watching it...but its the first time I heard it with that small change...and i am sure it was not his idea!! coz he wrote it like that!!

Free Arts ;)

[chris9986]

@rula42 Never heard the song before, but it's amazing, isn't it about POT, not alcohol? I love how Billy paints scenes of people hanging out and having a good time.

[rula42]

@chris9986 i always thought its about jack daniels...lol...might be about pot, too...and yes....iu love that painting of scenes, too

[rula42]

poor.....very poor...he had to *beep* his lyrics....is it really like this in the US? or do they never masturbate???

[suzigar]

awesome can't wait to see him again last time was head to head with elton john. And billy is better

[Kgodfather18]

his shirt says billy the kid joel

[ckmate1977]

Any idea where this is? Looks like a very small venue..

[bodkin1]

@ckmate1977

In a TV studio on a tv show called "Don Kishner's Rock Concert", a Midnight Special-esque program. This show was taped in Chicago I believe.

[wordlife94]

lol "Your sister's gone out, she's on a date and you just sit at home and ehh" lol

[JamieEdmondson94]

@wordlife94

lol so funny how he doesn't say it

[leopardboy]

Awesome. Just awesome.

[cheesecrackers73]

the one and only voice w/c can enchant me.. love you BILLY J..... thanks very much for sharing

[bodkin1]

This was taped during his appearance on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" in March 1974.

[bodkin1]

@bodkin1 His band here consists of Rhys Clark on drums, Don Evans on guitar, and Pat McDonald on bass. His steel guitar player, I have no idea.

[asi2703]

@bodkin1 I think it's Richard Bennett on steel guitar. He's played on Billys first three albums and is now the rhythm guitar player for Mark Knopfler

[VIG74]

What an amazing artist! You can tell this was one of his earlier performances. He doesn't seem comfortable to who he is. But, I've seen him many times over the years. The best performer of our time.

[OldSkaterGuy]

@VIG74 true, he looks a little shy.. Very good clip of this song..

[segould]

Terrific Performance!!! I especially love how he omits the maturbation line at 2:10!
