Billy Joel - The National Anthem - Yankee Stadium; Game 1 of the 2000 WS; 10/21/00

The performance is somewhat rough, but its Billy Joel, Mets, Yankees, World Series -- if you are from NY, this is a real treat if you missed it 10+ years ago.

RIP, Bob Sheppard.

@bdobkin1 Thank you for the clarification; I did not realise you were so young. But being young is most certainly not a fault: We were all young once:-)

As the great American comedian Red Skelton used to say, Do not worry too much about your life: You'll never get out of it alive.

When di Marion (I think that was her name) pass away?

@KhazModan there isn't an English national anthem.

I like Billy Joel, but this was not a good day for him. He was flat in the first half, and got back to competent by the end, upstaged by the bird.

Still, humility is always good with this song -- and he has a lot to be humble about here!

He started off too low, but it is one of the most difficult songs to sing ever...love him bunches!!

Awesome. Top drawer all the way, Yankee Stadium. Mets and Yankees ... Billy Joel singing the National Anthem. Perfect blend of people and places. Thanks for sharing this.

Coolest guy ever!

I don't know how you think this is a rough performance. Demi Lovato is rough. T Pain is rough. Britney Spears is rough.

This is the stuff legends are made of

@jasmine33runescape ahh, wish the english national anthem was faster its a bit dull. My own anthem should be Scotland the Brave i think not flower of scotland (written by an englishman)

[jasmine33runescape]

@KhazModan No, the song was meant to be performed at a pretty fast tempo, today's artists just make it way too dramatic and draw it out too much
