Piano Hopping in Austin - Bennie and the Jets

[Thedolphdebbie]

Awesome!!!!

[GlitzPianoman]

I've been playing "Bennie" live for years, and I was starting to get bored of it. Your version reinvigorated my interest in playing it. Thank you.

[PrestonLeatherman]

@PinkRobeGirl101 Good friggin question. Hahaha

[elainespenguin13]

lolz...am i the only one that thinks of the bar scene from 27 dresses every time i hear this song???

[KJrookery]

best idea ever i wish pianos were allways set up every where

[MrBri77]

i'm pretty sure the black piano is out of tune

[PrestonLeatherman]

@MrBri77 I'm pretty sure you are correct. Hahaha

[MrCinimod93]

@PrestonLeatherman  i wold assume it wold be a bit hard to keep in tune in that particular location lol

[danielj1020]

@MrBri77 Thanks God, I thought I was losing my touch

[xxForxxGoodxx]

I live here! I wish I would have been there when this happened, I'm a huge fan!

[Hibiscus41191]

If you could be my best friend I'd really appreciate it.

[lutieah]

On Pearl Street in Boulder, CO there are always pianos set up. And I mean always. 24/7, 365 days a year. You should come play. and tell me the day your gonna be here :)

[peachfluwr]

the piano on the lake has the best tone :)

This is a super cool concept! and awesome piano playing!

I love this song :)

[jaamaapii]

Its so funny to listen how every piano sounds differently. And you did also a great job. Congrats!

[mrsjeter124]

you're very talented, i never ever comment on youtube videos...this was worth it..i liked this, a lot. :) ps-this is my favorite songggg and you did elton justice

[gimmegimmeicecream]

With your level of talent, fearlessness and charisma, you're going places xD

[dugganatorr]

I really enjoyed the concept, and I'm a huge Elton John fan so I loved the song choice, something that needs no accompaniment and most people can recognize.

The camera was a bit shaky though, was it really windy for most of the shots?

Either way, great job.

=]

[t1nyterr1ble]

you're amazing. nuff said... <3

[Nafek77]

Wow, very nice.

[callen937]

you are SO talented!!! i hope you make it big some day! You totally deserve it!!

[musicKrayzie]

Marry Me!? You're amazing, I wish I could play AND sing like you!

[hellsangel579]

wow you can really play! how long have you been playing cause I've been playing for like 6 years and i don't think i'll ever be THAT good...... BUT YOUR AMAZING!

[PrestonLeatherman]

@hellsangel579 I've been playing pretty much my entire life! I love it :)

[AJLove92]

I'm pretty sure there was a roll of plastic behind each piano to cover them when it rains.

[PrestonLeatherman]

@AJLove92 this cracks me up about the rain. Hahaha....I'm glad ya'll are so concerned about them. It's precious.

[AJLove92]

@PrestonLeatherman You're precious :)

[Suntrap49]

@AJLove92 Yeah. I live in Austin and this was this summer. There was no rain. Pianos weren't even in danger from a fine mist.

BTW - GREAT video. I'm pretty I was out kayaking on the lake the day you filmed it.

[thagel2402]

@AJLove92 THANKS TIPS

[BurningEnna]

What if it rains???



[WildBuck007]

Wtf happens when it rains?? That is a crazy thing to not have some cover for them. Plus having them up on a stand so the wood doesn't soak up water.

[MmmMusicLOVER]

wow!! that was awesome dude!!

[nwesterbeckmaster]

Great job man! This deserves way more views.

[RussianBoy44]

They set this up in new york city and a friend and i rode around the entire city on bikes looking for a bunch of these. I played em all =D hehehhehe

[TechnoChild69]

Have that same shirt..

[crazycupcake1997]

OMG!!! Im sooo in love with him!!!!!!!! <3

[MommaOkie]

Awesome project and awesome playing. Love me some EJ music. I wasn't aware of the project austin did, that is great, I shared with my kids, always trying to get them more musically inclined (I'm a singer of sorts)

[jcbbe]

Awesome piano!!!

[jackeev75]

I love your voice!



[low72]

haha dude that's badass. Great Job!

[thefront]

I thought setting up pianos around town was a joke, as in that would never happen. Wish they'd do something like that in San Francisco! Great performance(s) BTW!

[DMHProductions1]

Is it just me, or is that chick checking you out at 1:48?

[worstnightmare145]

Nice vid! Check out my play me austin vid! Please.

[DAluvr2816]

oh i see haha so who's your favorite contestant this year?

[DAluvr2816]

Looks like someone was inspired by Haley's performance last week lol you sounded awesome, I wish they did that in my town =D

[PrestonLeatherman]

@DAluvr2816 Hahaha.....well we actually cover Bennie quite a bit at our shows. So maybe Haley was inspired by me??? Hmmmm....hahaha. But I had heard Austin was doing this a few days before we went up there so I decided to take advantage of it :)
