Gtfoh. Billy Joel is a god but Bruce Springsteen is a giant lump of suck. Bill’s a nice guy and gets along with everybody, even bottom dwellers like Springsteen
+Ζωή Π Billy has ditched so many of his musicians. Lib was with him for 30 years. His original bass player, Doug Stegmeyer actually killed himself in 1995 because he was so depressed that Billy dumped him after he was so loyal to him.
But, one thing can be seen: The Boss is slim an Sporty, and he`s ability to sing is quiet better than Joels. Joels Voice suffers from the overweight he has. Bytheway, a slimmer Billy Joel is certainly still a handsome Boy - despite his Age, but the bigger the Richmans Stomach is, the less he has enough Air to sing. The same as Peter Gabriel. See and listen to Peter Gabriel, and you rec that he has Problems to breathe as easily when he was Young. and this is a hard Chaellenge for every "natural" Singer, because they have not the Technique a fat Pavarotti had. So, don`t misunderstand me hereby, i never would dislike Peter or Bill, but they have an easier live, and it is way more easier for them to perform when they are 10-15kg lighter. So we can see when the Boss sings here with the Pianoman. PS: I am Fat by myselve. 180cm tall, and 145kg. I know by heart what this means ;-)
I think this is one of Springsteen's finest moments as a vocalist. Not saying that his own stuff isn't great, but he really added something to this performance with his vocal ability. A very fresh take on an old classic.
There are few things more boringly predictable in the world of music quite like people who hear an artist they prefer sing a song by another artist and say that the artist they prefer was the bright spot or somehow better. Typically I can see where they’re coming from with the statement like that, especially when they add in their own bias. But in this case? No. Bruce Springsteen can’t sing anything out of his typical range. But this was all over the place. And they had the echo on his mic turned so far up that anyone could sound good singing this. I’m not trying to be a dick.. But cmon. These two vocalists are in entirely different categories from each other. Bruce is a fantastic songwriter and performer. I would never take anything away from him. But as a vocalist, he’s not fit to Billy Joel’s shoes
Billy Joel totally outclasses Springsteen by miles and miles. He is operating in a whole different league here. Joel incorporates jazz, blues, gospel, rock, & R&B soul styles effortlesslly & simultaneously.
That’s the key Billy normally does the song in nowadays to accommodate his aging voice. He does it in the original key whenever he does it with his daughter Alexa.
Wahou!!!! Even if I am french and living in the close south-east of Paris, when I listen to this monument, I feel like a true new-yorker. The fact that I was born on 9/11/71.
This is just outstanding work all around...two of the best artists of their generation trading vocals back and forth...these two men are the best in their time...
Got to love what The Boss brought to Billy's original handiwork here. This was a genuine treat, something I didn't anticipate discovering when I went searching on this wonderful work. Thank you, Billy. Thank you, Bruce. Thank you both ... a whole lot.
Agreed. Some performers just make the world a better place. That's a special gift they don't even know they have. They just do their thing. Though I suppose when the millions flow in they get the gist.
Wow - what a Big Song - with two Massive Big Music Power Houses! Just imagine the Energy of that live!!! Must have been seriously awesome. Gives me the tingles all over! Love this!
I'd be honored if some fans of the Nylon Curtain album (often called Billy Joel's finest work) would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of ALLENTOWN on my channel in tribute to the Master. Real live acoustic with no editing. Thanks and please pardon the promo.
So good so good! This level of talent can only bring tears of joy and ecstasy, listening such a miracle🤩♥️!thanks for sharing the gem! Unforgettable! Thanks for music!
Two giants..and I'm practically on my knees and NO it can't get much better than this..heaven. Take me away Chariot..think I'm ready. Lordy yes. This IS a glimpse of what might be behind those Golden Gates. Alright, I get carried away. Whoee
as a new new city person, having seen him often in NJ. This is my favorite concert .. I'm glad to see your reply ❤ let's share this with friends and family
Billy Joel...just wow, what a performer, and with The Boss, such American Music icons from my very own time on this big blue ball...so very blessed to have been growing up with their music.
The best storytellers. Billy and Bruce... Nobody tells and sings stories about simple people the way they do...
bob dylan
Randy Newman
Are we forgetting Bob Dylan existed here??
@Tom Holtackers elton dont write his song stupid
Not even a joke. The two greatest American singer songwriters of all time. On one stage. How's that for talent?
Guess that's because Leonard Cohen is Canadian 🎉
I love Bruce and Billy but Bobby is the greatest American songwriter. 🤷🏻♂️
Just pure KICK ASS and y’all know its true and fine…
Cause you’re in that NY state of mind…🎶
@@WorldwideWyatt I’d disagree but hey that’s why they’re called opinions.
Gtfoh. Billy Joel is a god but Bruce Springsteen is a giant lump of suck. Bill’s a nice guy and gets along with everybody, even bottom dwellers like Springsteen
springsteen and joel? This might be the best duo ever. EVER. Amazing artists.
+Ζωή Π i agree!
+Matthew Edward Hall This live performance just blew me away--'Nuff said.
+Ζωή Π Except that Liberty Devitto should be behind the drums, not Max Weinberg.
Bryan Herber yes, absolutely agreed. but eitherway, the duo was great
+Ζωή Π Billy has ditched so many of his musicians. Lib was with him for 30 years. His original bass player, Doug Stegmeyer actually killed himself in 1995 because he was so depressed that Billy dumped him after he was so loyal to him.
I was surprised at how well Bruce nailed the vocals, his own style without imitating Billy...very nice.
And that’s saying something because when Billy does this song, he’s imitating Ray Charles.
@@thelevisullivan I would disagree here.
Very well said. What a complement.
Why should he be imitating Billy... ??? He is imitating Tony Bennet!!!
Never doubt Da Boss
The Boss and the Piano Man, with a double shot of Mark Rivera sax. Oh hell yeah!
His sax playing goes together perfectly with Billy Joel:)
I've never been a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen, but this just shows that he really has an incredible voice.
I love Bruce and yes this song really shows how good his voice is
LaPavoniMac I'm the opposite, love the Boss and just ok on Joel, but they are both legends.
yes indeed
But, one thing can be seen: The Boss is slim an Sporty, and he`s ability to sing is quiet better than Joels.
Joels Voice suffers from the overweight he has.

LaPavoniMac I agree, but consider Dylan, a genius by any standard. Voice only adds a nuance...
I think this is one of Springsteen's finest moments as a vocalist. Not saying that his own stuff isn't great, but he really added something to this performance with his vocal ability. A very fresh take on an old classic.
I hope you've heard the Western Stars album...
yes they both have great vocals
he brings all that was and is the shor
he brings all that was and is the shore

Class of 85... Grew up on Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen!!! This was Awesome!!!!
All they need is Elton
Ive never been a Bruce fan, Billy is my man! But what a smooth, beautiful duet. Bruce's singing was top notch here. A pleasant surprise!
Bruce is a great singer!
When I woke up this morning, I did not know that this would be exactly what I needed.
Just how amazing is Bruce Springsteen here ?...singing one of Billy Joel's best songs.
Great stuff.
Billy Joel totally outclasses Springsteen by miles and miles. He is operating in a whole different league here. Joel incorporates jazz, blues, gospel, rock, & R&B soul styles effortlesslly & simultaneously.
Two R&R LEGENDS together!
just...WOW !
If I am ever down, all I need to do, find a Billy Joel song.
wow, just fuckin amazing
Devlyn DeAugustine Agreed, my brother.
It's too difficult to choose favorites between Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen. Great to see both of my favorite artists performing a duet together.
I've listened to this roughly once a week for the last ten years and I never get tired of it.
Two of the greatest songwriters of all time performing a great Billy Joel song superbly..
Love that Billy does it in a different key just to suite Bruce's voice
That’s the key Billy normally does the song in nowadays to accommodate his aging voice. He does it in the original key whenever he does it with his daughter Alexa.
First time seeing this. This was absolutely awesome. 2 icons together.
I’ll give Bruce props too. He did a great job on this one.
Two of my favorites. I haven't heard Bruce sing this well in a long time.
This is one of the greatest pairings. Both are legends in their field. Both are amazing singers and musicians. And both KICK ASS!
Wahou!!!! Even if I am french and living in the close south-east of Paris, when I listen to this monument, I feel like a true new-yorker. The fact that I was born on 9/11/71.
speechless... glad for having born on the same planet as you guys, thanks for everything
Fantastic, simply stunning! THAT's the way to express feelings in music! They're both great artists!!!!! Not to forget the saxophone player!
I do believe I would have given my right arm to see this live...I love both of these artists.
Springsteen is one of the greatest voices ever and with Billy J ...this is an outstanding performance
This is just amazing. They play so well off each other.
It doesn't get any better than this! Love The Piano Man and The Boss!!
God damn when he played those first few chords I would have lost my MIND. What a moment. Thank you for posting this - the internet is good tonight
This would be an amazing tour
The boss Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Mark Rivera on stage
America has given the world a lot in entertainment.
The two GREAT American Songwriters performing together? Yes please. 👏🏻
That save when they started to sing over each other, but then instinctively turned it into a call-and-response motif was pure performance genius.
Where?
From @5:45
@@youbigtubership yooo I didn't even notice!
This is just outstanding work all around...two of the best artists of their generation trading vocals back and forth...these two men are the best in their time...
How can anyone not love this????????
Lovely. Never heard The Boss sing so clear to compete with The Piano Man. GREAT GREAT GREAT
He has a ton of great vocals but most people judge him by BITUSA
Bruce, Billy and the E Street Band. Mind blown. Senses very happy. Thanks boys!
And Mark Rivera, the sax player from Billy's band.
Bruce STILL has one of the best rock and roll voices out there. THE BOSS!
Both still rocking at 74! Great to see
the sax player here is awesome..
David Sanborn?
Mark Rivera, from Brooklyn!
fotohosk Thanks!
You are very welcome! I sure loved Clarence BUT you have a great talent! Heck I got a big ole' heart too!
Mary Westerfield Mark is Billy's Sax Player, He's Great, But He's Not The Big Man..
Who could ask for more , the 2 best song writers and singers.....................
Amazing! And I love the sax player!
May I have a LOVE button for this, please? Two of my VERY favorites on one stage. ❤
This is possible my all time favorite duet between 2 of my all time favorite performers..
AWESOME SONG!
Fan of Bruce. Didn't know he could belt it out like that vocally. Puts me in a New York state of mind! Billy too!
became a big fan of both of these in the early eighties but never imagined they would perform together, incredible!
Such a magic rarely produced in this digital age! They're real talent...
Two masters of their craft in a most excellent way!
Got to love what The Boss brought to Billy's original handiwork here. This was a genuine treat, something I didn't anticipate discovering when I went searching on this wonderful work.
Thank you, Billy. Thank you, Bruce. Thank you both ... a whole lot.
this was so excellent ....have never heard Bruce sing so well in this style of singing ...well done Bruce..
What a treat this performance is. Thanks for posting this. A true all time classic.
Two of my favorite performers ever, together. Thrilling. Thank you, Bruce. Thank you, Bill.
wow - first time seeing/hearing this! what an amazing duet!!
This is what happens when the gods come down from Olympus.
we are not worthy
No it's what happens when the ocean turns to shit
They go to New York:)
right on babe
Wow this was amazing. Love these guys individually but together they are a force! Kudos and much love to them both.
Two living music legends, standing together on the same stage performing, is so special.
Who’d have believed it? What a couple of brilliant old crooners - excellent stuff!
One of the best duets ever
Paints such a beautiful image with his words
5:45 - So professionally done by both of them. Not many people can mess up and on the drop of a hat and solve it like that.
These guys are just beyond brilliant.
You absolutely need to smile.
Thank you

I m a fan of Bruce Springsteen abd Billy Joel. There voice together is just a gift for the heart.
I'm Bronx born and raised. After 5 years in Florida, I am joyously returning to my home to live. No place like it on earth.
Two very underrated artists, in my opinion.
???????????? What?? ???????????? By whom????
Shahbano Malik 😂😂😂underrated
There are a lot of Billy haters. They're usually creatively bankrupt people though, and know only a few hits.
Are you mental
No matter which drugs you are consuming... take less of them... !!! Joel and Springsteen underrated... !!! You really made my day :-)))
Wow - what a Big Song - with two Massive Big Music Power Houses! Just imagine the Energy of that live!!! Must have been seriously awesome. Gives me the tingles all over! Love this!
Just brilliant....and yes Bruce was great on vocals
Such a great song, full of flair, flowing into the air for our delight!
Throw together two amazing artists from an amazing generation throw in an awesome sax player and out comes pure gold.
Aw man I want to see more Springsteens and Joel. They work so well together
Wonderful to see Mark Rivera playing as well as he did at the start of his time with BJ. A superb musician backing two legends
Bruce N Billy Knocked it outta the park as expected
Just great from the begining to the end; beautiful!!!
They really got me
my two favorite artists EVER 😤
I just love that they both had so much fun with this.
