Liberty DeVitto:
This is the guy the term "monster drummer" was invented for! Never giving less than 100% on stage, Liberty dazzles crowds much the same way his old front man did, a guy named Billy Joel. For over 30 years, Liberty DeVitto has performed all around the world. He holds the record along with Billy Joel for "most shows ever performed in Madison Square Garden." That's right, over 200 shows in the Garden! Liberty is truly the best at what he does.

  • Liberty is just one of those guys you can't help but like and his drumming is world class. ...oh yeah, and get your payday Liberty! ;)

    If Billy just paid you equal to all the booze he drank, or the cars he crashed, you'd be a rich man.

  • billy joel doesn't hold the record for 200 shows at the garden, elton john does for 60 shows. the record Billy does have at MSG for consecutive shows does not include liberty, it was obtained after their split. no doubt liberty rocks though!

  • i met this guy when i was 14, he's awesome :)

  • He is my 1st main influence in my drum playing

  • @firefalcoln - NOT. :) It's the Ballad of Billy the Kid.

  • @reversededges25 The Entertainer, it's an awesome song

  • Liberty is about to be a guest on my radio show for the second time. He's a great guy with lots of great stories. I'm a drummer myself & was always impressed by how he can play something simple & stand out without ever sounding out of place. I recently saw him preform with Greg Allman's son & he hasn't missed a beat!

  • What's the song at 4:09?

  • Yo, word up! This guys' the shiz. And, I hear he's nice as well.

  • I have seen Billy Joel 12 times in concert the last time was not the best. Lib was not with him. The song just didn't have the same feel. There are things Liberty would do instinctively because of his history with Billy. He is the top drummer.

  • Love this guy, he plays the hell out of the drums. Billy Joel is not the same without Mr. Devitto in the band. Come back home please !!!
