    This documentary is a gem. Billy Joel is not just a musical genius but a wonderful man. What a time in history this was. Brilliant.

    He took a chance and chose to do this with his own money (over $2m) but gained SO MUCH respect for it. People today who don’t remember may not understand what a HUGE risk it was for Billy to even do this. He was already exhausted from touring prior to this, and also ran into the massive vocal issues, which he’d never dealt with before. I’m spite of all the challenges he faced, he opened so many peoples eyes and threw so many myths about the Russians to the curb. Just because the powers that be are doing bad things doesn’t make the people the enemy. This documentary is one of the most beautiful examples that we all have so much more in common than we may realize. He did something so amazing when it was needed most. The only thing bigger than his talent is his heart, and he’s never lost either of those.

      lol, the comment above this one says, 6 months after this was filmed, the Soviet Union collapsed. So, Idk what he was talking about. Sounds like change to me It might have been his tour that was the pebble in the pond, started the ripples that took the whole thing down.... lol, maybe they were like, 'Look what they tell us is evil, Billy Joel is not evil, his music is beautiful, and working class!' .. Whereas if 2 Live Crew toured first, they would have went no contact and built a wall around the whole country. hahah peace

    I was in Leningrad in the Summer of 1986 for a College Overseas study program. I totally relate my experience to what Billy spoke about in this documentary. Billy Joel is an amazing person for having the vision and courage to perform in the Soviet Union at that time, 1987. I wasn't aware of his Soviet tour until many years later but I'm glad I found this documentary on YT. Billy has never received the recognition for doing this Soviet tour that he deserved at the time but I think he has gotten his respects through the years and his contributions to opening up this closed society to millions around the world.

I was always your fan even met you a couple of times but this documentary open another level of understanding of who you are. I’m deeply impressed and deeply moved by your art by who you are. I came to New York in 1984 from Croatia so I have another level of appreciation for what you have done. I have a busy schedule but I took time to watch it twice. Thank you fellow artist

    An outstanding video that shows the power of music and the hard work Billy puts into it.
    This tour was i feel the very best of his tours, he really did a wonderful job of breaking the cycle of stupidity that sadly has crept back into this world.
    When it comes to deplomacy there is one hell of a lot 99% of U.S. polatitions could learn from Billy, but clearly they just dont want to, as he said he made a lot of friends doing this tour, and i can tell him that the people there still hold the light for him very proudly, with I met Billy Joel, and we would love to have him back again.
    I dont just say that, i can tell you from the heart they really mean it, mybwife and i go there when we can to see family in St.Petersburg, for those who still rudely refer to the people there as communists, i feel that they need waking up and seeing the country and the people there for what tbey really are no different from Americans or any ither country, Billy really sumed this up in his song Leningrad, " He made my daughter laught then we embraced, we never knew whaf friends we had untill we came to Leningrad" a truth i found out for myself, a really outstanding tour, thanks Billy!!!!!

Ukrainian polititians revealed recently that they didn't even think of fulfilling the agreements, instead they used this time to get more weapons. Ukrainian nazis proved that they don't deserve Donbass and its people (given to it in 1922 by the communists that you must hate so much).

    I don't really understand the business or legal copyright aspects of bootlegs. You obviously have put work into this, but so has Billy Joel and the people who worked on this project or whoever owns the copyright on this now. I remember seeing the Billy Joel USSR concerts on tv in the 80s, perhaps it was the concert itself or it was reported on in some news magazine tv show. It is nice to look at this as a historical document and think how things have changed.

    Use Leningrad in my Cold War lessons every year when I teach high school. Just such a cool snapshot of hope and humanity in the midst of fear and hatred

    As a young kid growing up listening to "Uptown Girl"- I remember being shocked hearing that Christie Brinkley was his girl.

    I love how Billy was wondering why his throat was in bad shape, but 26:23 happened, and I'm like yeah that probably didn't help. LOL

    If you would like to help with the timestamps, you can leave the one you like the most to make the video more enjoyable.

    Did Kevin and Dave have some sort of thing with each other? They were always looking at each other so longingly during that instrumental part of sometimes of fantasy.

    At 33:08 you can see in the audience a young American actor Patrick Swayze before he did the movie Ghost. Before he became famous.

      "Again"? During the USSR there were no such things as Ukrainian nazis in the authorities shelling the people of Donbass that initially just demanded the all-country elections after the coup of 2014, or neverending Karabakh wars between the now "free" Armenia and Azerbaijan.
