You can see the influence of Ray Charles, who was a close personal friend of Billy’s. In fact, he and his wife named their daughter after him (Alexandra Ray). Billy is a musical genius--singer, songwriter, composer, musician, arranger. His catalog is extensive. Thanks Shon for reacting to this. 👏👏👏🥰
Absolutely! Billy Joel doing his Ray Charles look!
Alexa Ray 🙂 But yes. And his song Downeaster Alexa that’s named after her is excellent, too.
Mark Rivera was, and is, Billy's saxophonist for over 40 years and still tours with him.
This was Richie Cannata in this video. Love me some Mark Rivera though!!
A little Gershwin, a little Blues, and all New York . ✌️❤️
So we’ll put!
You: "I need a sax solo!"
Richie Cannata (the sax player): "Hold my beer."
Hudson River runs through NY and there are greyhound bus lines that go along it
I love Billy Joel. A national treasure, in my opinion.
Shon, this is my ALL TIME favorite Billy Joel song, he's in his bag on this one!! And you're only the 2nd reactor that I've seen react to it. I've literally begged in the comments for reactors to do this. My prayers have been answered!!🎉🎉🎉
Many people do not realize how beautiful New York State is.
So true, I just visited 1000 Island Seaway on St. Lawrence River. North of the Finger Lakes. So beautiful. Lots of people camp, I saw two State parks, amazing.
I grew up south of Buffalo. Beautiful area. ❤
Born & raised in New York State. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Still here in the Hudson Valley.
Genius poet/lyricist and musician.
A couple of generations blessed with Billy Joel and Elton John.
How lucky are we?
Thanks for your remarks and for sharing.
You can definitely hear the influence of Ray Charles in his voice. Love Billy Joel.
I grew up listening to Billy Joel, this is one of my all time favorite songs. I appreciate your reaction to it. ❤❤
One of my favorite songs, period. I've been a Billy fan for more than 40 years.
I'm sure you can hear the influence of Ray Charles.
The two sax solos are a reason I took up the saxophone in 6th grade.
I can imagine myself in a smoky bar with a good drink and just listen to Billy play the piano.
The saxophone was really popular when I was a kid. I played from sixth grade through college.
This is Billy Joel's performance on the British music program "The Old Grey Whistle Test". It's really special. In fact, most live performances by music acts on this dearly missed show are great! Look out for them on TH-cam. 😊
Shon, this is my FAVORITE song by Billy Joel. I am a native New Yorker, lived here all ky life, and I'm 67 years old. Takin the Grayhound that's the bus; up the Hudson River Line, that is the Metro North (commuter train) that has a scenic view of the Hudson River, with New Jersey across on the other side of the river. I used to take that train when I went to college on the weekends, when I was in my 40s. This song is badass!! ✌️🎶💙
Shon, you gotta react to "Billy Joel Kennedy Center Honors 2013". Billy was honoured for all his work and a bunch of artists performed his songs in front of him. It includes a back story of his life and for any fan of Billy, it's a must watch. Hell, even if you don't react to it, just watch it for yourself.
I am so glad that you reacted to this specific live performance! It really exemplifies Billy’s songwriting and piano skills. Forever my favorite song of Billy’s even though he’s had so many hits that I love as well.
“Say Goodbye to Hollywood” is another great hit song
Billy Joel!😅 Music in the 70's and 80's wouldn't be so great if Billy wasn't there. PIANO MAN at his best👌 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ your 70 year old forever hippie Gary😊 great reaction! 🤣 Great Saxophone 👍
Mark Rivera an American saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, singer, musical director and corporate entertainment provider who is mostly known for his work with Billy Joel. In addition to playing soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, Rivera's musical abilities encompass vocals, guitar, bass, flute, percussion, hammer and chromium steel pipe, and keyboards. He's been with Billy Joel since 1982, replacing Richie Cannata. I don't think there is anything Mark can't do. This man is So Incredibly Talented and it feels like he is underappreciated for his magnificent talents!!! Love him!
This isn’t Mark Rivera.
@@NoCanDu Yes, I'm very aware it isn't Mark. I was just speaking about Mark who replaced Richie Cannata. But thanks for letting me know.
@@hibhibb5429 Sorry! I also love Mark! He was with Hall & Oates for a while when I worked for them! 💕
Masterpiece. Try “Honesty” too.
Talk about channeling Ray Charles and yet still being the great Billy Joel! Just magical and makes me nostalgic for the New York City of old. This live performance is amazing. That sax!🎷
Not enough artist play instruments nowadays.
His live performance of “Ballad of Billy the Kid” (River of Dreams tour) or a live performance of “Goodnight Saigon” should be next. Or “The Longest Time” - there are plenty to choose from.
Billy Joel....ultimate musician.
My favorite!!!
I just love this song. Billy captured the "New York state of mind" perfectly. I grew up about an hour outside of Manhattan and so spent a lot of time there in my younger years. Yeah, there is such a thing as New York state of mind. We would hop a train and in an hour be there. Nowhere else like it in the world. ❤🍎Thank you for doing this song.
Same. Westchester and Rockland counties.
He was my favorite solo artist growing up in the 1970s. Love this live version!
Billy is and was not only a genius musician and writer, buy he always surrounded his work with genius musicians in their own right. This was a sheer goose bump thrill the first time around. And every artist who joined him on his journey through the years has seasoned just as beautifully. Awesome reaction!
He's singing about taking a Greyhound bus up the Hudson River line. N.Y.City is on Manhattan Island surrounded by the Hudson River ( which flows into the Atlantic Ocean and , the East River. Directly across the Hudson River is
New Jersey. New York state borders New Jersey on its northern border. He's talking about taking that Greyhound ( name of the bus compamy) bus across the bridge ( either the Geo. Washington or the Tappan Zee bridge over the Hudson river to "Upstate" New York. Its a beautiful drive on the cliffs of the Palisaides all the way up the coast of N.Y. It's a mini vacation for the mind and soul ( a day trip). Upstate N.Y. is full of small towns, rhral areas, low mountains and trees, trees, trees. Its the exact opposite of living in the hectic cultural haven of N.Y.City
Fantastic sax solos in this extended stage performance. Notice that Billy is channeling his inner Ray Charles.
This is my favorite song from Billy Joel. Every time I hear it I can see the places he would be seeing from that bus ride and the Curcle Line ferry and tug boats. I can feel the life of the city, smell the street vendor food aromas, and hear the taxi's, hear the different languages being spoken and much more.
Shout out saxophonist extraordinaire Richie Cannata!
Im a master Air musician, tennis racquet guitar, pots and pans drum kits, dashboard keyboards, but when i try the sax, ....fade to black. Wake up and the dogs are looking at me funny. ✌️❤️
Yeah, there are pop songs, and then there are performances!
The Hudson River Line is a train railway that runs along the east shore of the Hudson River
Billy Joel does a lot,of.good music. But. This song. Perfection.
Greyhound is a bus line and he talked about the Hudson River in NYC! There's a train that goes along the Hudson. Fabulous performance!! Great reaction!
If you'd like to see another incredible live saxophone performer, check out Candy Dulfer , doing "Pick Up the Pieces"...
It's funky as hell, and completely mind-blowing...
Billy is Channeling His inner Ray Charles .
Awesome recording, fabulous response. Thanks Shon!
Billy Joel live anni 70-80-90-00... Era straordinario ... Piano Man è il songwriter più completo in assoluto
For some crazy piano-ing, check out Billy's Live From Long Island performance of Scenes From An Italian Restaurant and his performance of Root Beer Rag, Old Grey Whistle Test.
I’m so glad you did this one!! I kept saying “you’ll get your sax solo” lol
Love Piano players and Billy is definitely right up the top.
Had Piano Man on my playlist for years, knew it inside out.
LOVE this live rendition of "New York State of Mind"! It's one of my all-time favorite performances.
I see you haven't yet reacted to Billy Joel's song, "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant." There's a live version of that that's very, very good too, you should def check that out!! Another very cool song and performance.
I'm in a Pennsylvania State of Mind 😃
Jeez, Billy had some great hair back then!
Didn’t we all!
Such a great, gritty, bluesy song. Captures the NYC mood perfectly.
Sounds like you are also from Chicago like I am. Suburbs. Yes I miss it there but I started my life off in New York until 5 years old.
Has a Ray Charles sound.. Great song!!
This was my go to song when the Towers fell....broke my heart and healed it at the same time.
This is one of the best sax solos ever.
Hudson river flows on the west side and the East River on the east side of Manhattan
Don't want to move back but dame if I don't miss it!
Reminds me of a line from a poem
" my childhoods home i see again and sadden with the view and still as memories crowd my brain theirs happiness in it too"
While Billy didn't play the sax solos, remember who hired dude and gave him the space.
He just gave his last Madison Square Garden show. He has given monthly shows there for many years.
One of my favorite Billy Joel songs is Captain Jack
Watch that whole Old Grey Whistle performance when you get a chance. I think they perform about eight songs or more. Billy Joel is a great artist, but he's even better live IMO. And his band during this era was immaculate.
Hudson is a river lol! ❤. A true masterpiece of music. Thank you for posting ❤
Shon: I need a sax solo
Me: grabbing my popcorn

It's a Sexaphone brother. Yes it's very popular. Great reaction Shon.
The Hudson River Line... Thats all around my way and where I grew up.. You could the train from Poughkeepsie NY South to Manhattan ...Or take RT9 By Bus or Car and you will ride along the most Beautiful Hudson River with the Majestic West Point to Bear Mntn to the Manhattan Skyline.. The most beautiful part of the country in my opinion.. Color me biased...lol
