You are so right, my friend... First thing when entering my car in the morning going to work, is starting Scenes... And believe me, I arrive at my office with a smile on my face every day...:-)
I had the privilege of taking in the concert at Shea,I know it is one of the best things I could have ever shared and will rest in my memory for the rest of my days.
Hmmm.... Maybe Queen, ABBA, Adele, Pink etc..... But agree! Not many! An Australian singer Grace Knight though was priceless live..... Recorded was just never the same after I'd heard her live!
@@George-of8ib all of it, absolutely gorgeous! Of all the instruments I can play, unfortunately, the saxophone isn't one of them. How I wish I would have learned it.
@@magneto7930 I’ve recently taken on a young labourer. I like to sing at work. Loudly but probably badly. I told him I would give him an instant pay rise if he learns how to play the saxophone haha. My air saxophone is a bit pitchy.
What a talent. 30 years later and he's still as good, possibly better, his voice is deeper and richer. Thanks for the great music and wonderful memories it brings.
I wish I could marry your strong and powerful vocals and your insane piano skills Billy😍, but seriously your talent is overwhelming and beyond amazing.
Ariv Gomez Theres an album called A Matter Of Trust bridge to russia where it’s Billy singing a lot of his songs live in russia if you prefer live! I know i do 😂
Everyone’s loves Piano Man but this song makes me tear up every single time. It’s about old friends and times gone by. As I get older this hits me harder each time.
I'm gettin' on a bit now, but when you've played and followed music all your life and never really 'made it', it's the proper artists you look back on like this bloke here. My enjoyment in music, comes from the nostalgia and inner sense of this blokes wonderful application to the art of music. Marvellous Billy Joel!!!
Saw Billy Joel with Elton John many many years ago in Montreal- 1 of The Greatest Concerts I’ve ever seen- what a show!! To Many More Years Billy!!😎👍🍿🍿🍿
I saw them together in Syracuse NY. I will say it til the day I die Billy Joel was much better then Elton John that day. And the crowd was there for Billy and tolerated Elton John. They probably knew it too so played into it.
@@narrabeenstudent7027 True...but I can't say MY voice has changed, even in 34 years. So the original poster's comment still stands. Billy's still going strong!
Billy joels songs sind musikalisch und rhythmisch so grossartig geschrieben! Eine tolle Band. Die einströmende orleans band passt super und gibt dem Song einen starken Charakter durch den prägnanten 4/4 Takt. Es macht mich auch glücklich wieviel Spass die Besucher haben! ❤
How did I suddenly stumble on Billy Joel; not exactly sure but hearing him live reminds me of a friend back in college '76 dragged me along to the music hall on campus to hear this 'Piano Man' I'd never heard of until a few days before..... Can still visualize it; gentle breeze walking to the Hall and hearing this amazing musician and the rest is history.
The GREATEST show that Billy Joel put on at the JazzFest was during a wretched thunderstorm with a torrential downpour a few years after Katrina. I was there! Right up front!
this song is special on July 4th, because it's my parents anniversary, and they met in my mom's dad's Italian restaurant, and this reminds me of stories they used to tell about their younger days.
Hello Robert, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you
It's so wierd, I wasn't a Billy joel fan, I was a kid but my dad let me sneak down and watch behind the couch, I knew I had to be quite, it was the Wembley concert I've been enamoured ever since.
Billy Joel is an amazing musician and song writer. I've been inspired by him ALL of the years I controlled my own music listening! PLUS, Mark Rivera is the MOST amazing sax player I have ever heard, and has been with the band since 1982...around the time I became aware that brass was more than marching band. Such an amazing combination!
Hello Kelvin, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you
I was living in westchester county working as a nanny when i first heard this song and every time i hear it i think of little italy. It is my favorite Billy Joel song with the exception of a later Love song he composed. Incredible🌎🎼🚴🎶
Hello Robert, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you
Billy and his grèat band were here in Dublin in June " Best concert I have been at in a long time, love Italian restaurant "He sings it with great passion, Love, love, Billy Joel, 😃
Hello Daniel, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you
just like a fine wine...keeps getting better the older it gets...loved billy joel from since before i was a teenager...gave me the passion for piano....hated playing it until I heard Billy play...
I live I buffalo and was lucky enough to see Billy over ten times. I know the best show of all of them was at the century theater buffalo NY. and the stranger LP wasn't even out yet and my 1st Billy Joel concert.
Hello Paul, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you
A truly amazing singer songwriter,who btw 1st came to USSR during iron curtain times and brought 1st taste of Rock&roll to us-:)God Bless Mr Joel and his extraordinary talent -:)Thanks for sharing From Russia with LOVE
It's just impossible to tire of this man, his talent, unique strories & his once in a lifetime voice - (and a great kick ass back up band to boot)- what more can one's musical heart desire?!?

They NEED to have Billy do the Super Bowl halftime show. The sooner, the better!
Jeff Dunham yesss
Maybe the next time a NY team makes it to the Superbowl. Might take a while though. ::::::sigh:::::::
Indeed
I fully agree
Great, I would so much rather listen to him than the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Aguilera, Lady Whatever, Maroon 5, and the rest of them.
this man right here is who inspired me to play piano & 47 years later I still do , he’s an absolute legend in the music industry.
If everybody in the world started their day listening to this, we'd be a whole lot better off...
You are so right, my friend... First thing when entering my car in the morning going to work, is starting Scenes... And believe me, I arrive at my office with a smile on my face every day...:-)
True story
Great song, my favourite. But why would we be better off? Explain yourself, not just make comments.
@@johnkuipers7829 if you need it explained then it won't work for you.
As a Long Islander, we KNOW great Italian food.
You know what? He's just awesome. the worlds a better place cause of people like Billy Joel
Agreed²
mrbishi1000 Yes, it is. :)
mrbishi1000 more bearable
Mer Ershad polloor
I had the privilege of taking in the concert at Shea,I know it is one of the best things I could have ever shared and will rest in my memory for the rest of my days.
Hasn't lost a bit of his voice. Probably the best piano player in the biz.
Tim Anderson It's amazing isn't it. He's one of the only aging guys in the business that still sounds the same.
Tim Anderson he does sound very good so many years later
Of course is he Billy Joel he is the Piano man!
nice
*very nice
One of the only artists that sounds even better live
Hmmm.... Maybe Queen, ABBA, Adele, Pink etc..... But agree! Not many!
An Australian singer Grace Knight though was priceless live..... Recorded was just never the same after I'd heard her live!
Totally agree!
Ahh you’ve never heard an Aussie….we only listen to live!I love Billy Joel, but try any John Farnham or Jimmy Barnes, & only live!
Just saw Howard Jones live. He's still got it also.
YES
How genius is it to have the Preservation Hall jazzers at this gig? Makes me love this song even more. Way to go, team!
It is amazing how Billy sounds exactly like he does on the record.
I think because he doesn't ecit his voice much.
Thank his sound man ;)
Amazing really sounds just like the album
There have been a few signs of tireness on his recent tours, but he still sounds better than most of the modern artists
Not really bud. This is 2 half-steps down & 36 years later, but go with it...
America is a better place for having Billy Joel in it. God bless him.
I love how not only Billy's having a good time, but it seems like the rest of the band are enjoying themselves too.
That drummer is so happy
B
I_Like_It_Here iiióo
Yes, I love the way all the musicians are enjoying themselves. The drummer is great, and the saxophone player is right out there.
Is it still Mark Rivera on sax?
Amazing that Sax man Mark Rivera stayed with Billy Joel for over 30 years!
amazing alright. I think he plays stoned.
Mark Rivera playing the sax like a god!
done it enough times!
Juan-Paolo so epic
Imma make sure my son who plays sees him nail that sax down like a champ!
He is the sax god
I thought it was Billy Bones! Well, awesome either way.
At 2:15, I was completely surprised, it's probably the greatest institutional band in human history sneaking out on stage.
My favorite Billy Joel Song. He puts so much into his performances. A true musician is better live than on a recording.
Agreed.
My favorite as well... not just Billy Joel song, but one of my favorites, period. It's a masterpiece.
Unless yer Tool and your whole perfomance is as clean as the recordings. 😁
In my opinion this is one of the best lyrical songs ever written.
No dancers no props just plain great MUSIC what a great artist!
How can you NOT have a great time at a Billy Joel concert? He's a national treasure!!
That sax solo always takes me to another planet!
Me too.. an absolutely amazing solo !
The sax outro as well!! Sooo good!
@@George-of8ib all of it, absolutely gorgeous! Of all the instruments I can play, unfortunately, the saxophone isn't one of them. How I wish I would have learned it.

Rob Holden He is a national treasure.
30 years later ? This song is from 1977 and the video is from a 2013 festival
The voice of America .the voice of everyone ..
When he waves Pres Hall onstage, it kills me every time!!! ❤
This is Billy Joel's favorite Billy Joel song...yes it is
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is a master piece. Superb.
Damn that was fantastic, Billy Joel is an American Legend!
That sax player is just having the best time.
I wish I could marry your strong and powerful vocals and your insane piano skills Billy😍, but seriously your talent is overwhelming and beyond amazing.
hes much better in live version than the recording
Anyone who can actually sing is always, always going to be better live!
I saw Billy Joel live in the 80s in Sydney, Australia! Awesome concert!
Ariv Gomez Theres an album called A Matter Of Trust bridge to russia where it’s Billy singing a lot of his songs live in russia if you prefer live! I know i do 😂
My very first concert was Billy Joel. He was awesome live and a real showman. To this day, there's hasn't been anyone better.
Thank you Billy ....formative years where busting suds in an Italian restaurant.....
Everyone’s loves Piano Man but this song makes me tear up every single time. It’s about old friends and times gone by. As I get older this hits me harder each time.
The real deal, the maestro "a magnificent real star real, nothing fake,false , a magnificent song writer
This concert was absolutely amazing, and I'm so glad I got the chance to see him live!
From his writing and song structure, this man is just plain genius!
the greatest musician ever
One of the great talents God Bless him.
Chris Daniels he's not dead LMAO
4:07 can we take a second to appreciate how happy that drummer is
People like Billy makes America great all the time... not other wat
Wow.. 40 years later.. amazing
does anyone else wish they could go back to the first time they heard this song and relive it?

Marvellous Billy Joel!!!
You never see a sax player ham it up like that... and it's AWESOME. :D
Love it EVERYTIME .,,,,,,,,Fukn wicked Billy
i like it when the crowd is quiet and enjoys the music... who wants to hear noise during a great performance?
Me and my wife- this song always - Billy hasn’t changed and we haven’t either! Still much in love - we love this man ❤️
Saw Billy Joel with Elton John many many years ago in Montreal- 1 of The Greatest Concerts I’ve ever seen- what a show!! To Many More Years Billy!!😎👍🍿🍿🍿
Wish I had seen them together.
I saw them together in Syracuse NY. I will say it til the day I die Billy Joel was much better then Elton John that day. And the crowd was there for Billy and tolerated Elton John. They probably knew it too so played into it.
64 years and not demonstrating them. Awesome!! Billy Joel best singer ever!!!! 😍😍😍
Amazing how he still sounds the same over 30 years later
over 40 now...think this album was 1977.
@@YachtMaestro but this performance was in 2013, so 34 years after the album if you were referring to this video
@@narrabeenstudent7027 True...but I can't say MY voice has changed, even in 34 years. So the original poster's comment still stands. Billy's still going strong!

My first grown up album. I was 14 in the summer of 77
Ma cosa vuoi dire..è una cosa fantastica!!!
his best song IMO,...never gets old for me and I have been to that Italian restaurant in LI

Man I love this song so much. Piano at 3:41 gets me every time.
After all these years,"Scenes" tune gets me going.The same saxophone player,he is awesome as well!!!
this song is special on July 4th, because it's my parents anniversary, and they met in my mom's dad's Italian restaurant, and this reminds me of stories they used to tell about their younger days.
There’s a goosebump section in every song he does. True American icon.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant

The drummer is having the time of his life. Also that trumpet player is legendary.

Catching one of his concerts is on my Bucketlist! Love his music and that he stays so humbled.
One of the best artist ever....
This song takes you on a journey of someone's life. Through lyrics I can picture everything so clearly. Brings a tear to my eye honestly.
In a word_ magnificent. Billy Joel is a true craftsman.
Damn - what a great performance. The man still has it!
My favourite Billy Joel song and what a great live performance, smashed it out of the park !!!
Saw him last night, 1/22/16, in Tampa. GREAT concert & this song rocked the arena.
How can his fingers move over the keys like that? OMG..so amazing.
Everything Billy sings is absolute magic.
Booze affected his body but his voice is still GREAT !! Long live my Long Island hero Billy Joel.
Hello
Had this album on eight track. This song fades out in the middle, changes tracks, and comes back in strong as ever. Good times.
Never would be another man like this one
Billy Joel is the only artist I listen to where the albums and live sound as amazing as ever.
FINALLY...VH-1 uploaded their "Best Of VH-1 Storytellers" with this song. The performance was primo, and the audience energy was incredible!
I live I buffalo and was lucky enough to see Billy over ten times. I know the best show of all of them was at the century theater buffalo NY. and the stranger LP wasn't even out yet and my 1st Billy Joel concert.
Nice!
I got a chance to see him a couple of time at the Aud. Great shows

It's just impossible to tire of this man, his talent, unique strories & his once in a lifetime voice - (and a great kick ass back up band to boot)- what more can one's musical heart desire?!?
First vinyl I bought in 77
It wasn't my first, but I was only 10 and I had the lyrics to every song memorized in a week!
i first heard this song when I was 12.. in 1978 and it has been my favorite ever since.. what a masterpiece!
This is what now time singers sound like on their best days. In other words billy had real talent when he was their age. He still does.
MR !!!!!!!!!!!! beautiful Sax Bravo
