This video was made before Joel and Piano Man became a big hit. The original recording (in 1973) never made the top 20 on Billboard. It eventually became Joel's trademark after he reached stardom in 1977 for his album "The Stranger".
just wonderful ..always love performances on the OGWT, they always seem to bring the best out of the singers and groups, just love this song... one of the best versions.
The drummer in this video is Denny Devito, Billy's longest time drummer ever since 70's. But Billy is not using him anymore, don't know the reason why. Denny Devito is a very very good drummer if you ask my opinion; on the same grade as Steve Gadd.

@allenchenn the drummer is not Liberty Devito you must have the first name mixed up.
I think he flew in specially for this performance and the musicians look to me to be session guys.
You are right Liberty Devito is a great drummer Billy fired him when Liberty tried to talk to him as a friend about his drug addiction.
Didn't think Billy was that type of guy. The drummer he uses now is no where near as good as Liberty.
