The story behind Garth's version is that he came home from being on the road for 6 months, and found 6 CDs in the mail from being a member of a CD club. One of these was Billy Joel's "Storm Front". Garth fell in love with Billy's music again, and one of the songs on that album that really captured him was "Shameless". When Billy didn't release it as a single, Garth contacted his people, and asked if he could cut it. He did, and it went to #1 on the country charts! (Information from Garth's "The Hits" album)
Tears... streaming down my face.. I've always loved this song from the first time I heard Garth sing it nearly 30 years ago. Then to find out Billy wrote it..made it even better. It touches my heart and reaches my soul every time I hear it.
There's never been such a wonderful duet, as Brooks and Joel. Both are humanitarian-musicians, of a higher-level of Intelligence. PeaceOut from Canada. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸🎹🌬♥️🇺🇸🌎💫
WOW!! They both still got it. It's hard to believe this song is 20+ years old. Thank you Garth and Billy for the great music. When the time comes this song is goin with me to the next life.
He has so much honor to people, Garth does. Thank you for including him this is a great performance! Billy Joel, you are an American legend. We love you to pieces!!❤️
No disrespect to Billy Joel, but I really never liked to hear him sing, however he is very talented. He's one of the best writers they are. I absolutely love this song. I was dancing with this ole country boy back in the day and he sang the entire song to me. Those days are gone but not forgotten.
Congratulations Garth Brooks for being entertainer of the year this year, thank you Billy for being you. You are fantastic and amazing and I've always loved you! Professionals
I love my old school Metallica, I was talking to a fella one night & discussing music & what genre we liked. I told him Metallica is one of my favorite heavy metal bands, but I used to listen to country, he said Johnny cash was the Metallica of country music, I didn't get it at first then thought about it, & he's damn right!
Are you going back stage, or are you going to throw your panties on stage? You know, I can sing like Garth and you could come to my concert down at the local tavern on karioki night and cheer me on.
combining the two musicians I grew up listening too. always been both a Garth Brooks and a Billy Joel fan. and to have them come together on one of my favorite songs it's country gold.
Garth was my first musical love in 1992. I have always admired his pure joy for music and performing. A prime example is when those background harmonies surprise him at 2:16 in this video. Beautiful spirit.
Saw Billy Joel & Elton John in concert Face to Face! Blew my mind! They brought the house down. Sang for hours. Totally amazed at the talent! Billy just laughed a few times as he stood quietly holding the microphone up and the crowd just kept right on singing word for word! Pretty cool. Paid a lot to go, but worth every penny!
That was awesome!!!!! I love both Billy and Garth! So cool to see them singing a song that they've both released! I've heard both solo versions and they are both great in their own way!
A few things; out on the bittorrent sites you can find the version of this concert that was played in England where Garth flubs the intro to the song but he saves it. Billy Joel talks about playing this concert with Garth in a interview online. It was an interview where he did a masters class at a college. He also mentions how he never wanted the song to be a "Cowboy" song. But Billy knew if Garth did it it would make him a small fortune so he let him release it. Billy released it in 1989 (Storm Front) and Garth did it in 1991 (Ropin' The Wind), Billy was right, Garth's version hit #1, whereas his reached #40. There are two other interesting things in this video additionally; At 2:15 Garth and Billy are surprised by the volume of the background singers. Garth turns around and smiles at them. At 2:21 You can hear Billy make yell to the singers. At 2:54 You can hear Billy Joel do a cowboy impression where he says "Aw.. Shucks" In the English video right as Garth is leaving the stage he makes a joke about how Garth played with the Mets in his short lived baseball career.
I never felt envy in my life, but looking at everyone all massed together in innocent, crowded, concert-goer-ness breaks my heart now that we are trapped in forever seeming COVID-19.
I came here as a billy fan, I never really paid Attention to Garth. When he was in his prime was the ninties and I wasn't into county, more just alternative and 70s and 80s music So I feel like I really missed out on something with Garth. Now iv got to check out my husband's old garth brooks cds, he was a big fan of garth brooks and has a lot of his cds. He stole the show and totally Rocked that song.
"Shameless" Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much control over me Cause I worked too hard to call me life my own Yes I made myself a world and it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless...shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this... It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know I am shameless Shameless... Shameless...

And that beautiful percussionist with pipes! Man! Even on my phone it sounded amazing! Garth and Billy?!! Gtfoh! Sweet soul, moving concert, it must've been
There's more musical talent on that stage than the entire industry today.
Agree ❤️❤️❤️
They’re the #2 and #7 best selling artists of all time, and that includes full bands like The Beatles and Led Zepplin. Pretty crazy.

Garth Brooks getting a Billy Joel album from CD-of-the-month club is the most 90’s shit ever 😂
I love Garth's expression at 2:15! He didn't expect the backup singers to harmonize over his lead. He loved it!
From that grin, it looks like he was thinking "Holy crap, Billy Joel is harmonizing with me!!!"
@j cheek You’re such amazing 😉,Kindly drop me your email address 📧 just to get in touch with you 💯💕
This is the best concert moment ever! They were perfect!!💖
Thanks Billy Joel for actually letting me hear Garth on TH-cam!
anything with dale sr. has to be good. love it. thank you.

RIIGGHHT!! So tired of everything being a cover! i just want to hear The Dance one more time, but impossible!
Casey Brogan aww man now I really wanna hear that song. I'll find it after work somewhere and try to remember to come back and share it
Tears... streaming down my face.. I've always loved this song from the first time I heard Garth sing it nearly 30 years ago. Then to find out Billy wrote it..made it even better. It touches my heart and reaches my soul every time I hear it.
Me too, sister
If you found this song- you know it was Billy Joel that wrote it! Garth just has the perfect voice for it! Love it!
Billy himself has said that he prefers Garth's version to his own.

God bless you . They say it gets better .

Erika Mauersberger I’m so sorry for your loss. Beautiful Memories ♥️
You know you've made it as a singer when the writer of a song sings backup. Kicks it that Garth took Billy's song and topped the C&W charts with it.
This may be the coolest version of the song. Both of them together is just fantastic.
An honest performance. I believe Garth is feeling the words and bearing his soul in front of a half a million people and now on TH-cam. WOW. Powerful!
There's never been such a wonderful duet, as Brooks and Joel. Both are humanitarian-musicians, of a higher-level of Intelligence. PeaceOut from Canada.
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸🎹🌬♥️🇺🇸🌎💫
WOW!! They both still got it. It's hard to believe this song is 20+ years old. Thank you Garth and Billy for the great music. When the time comes this song is goin with me to the next life.
The piano man is heavenly, and Garth is a God! Perfection!
This is one of the best Billy Joel Songs.. and Garth just made it more popular.
He has so much honor to people, Garth does. Thank you for including him this is a great performance! Billy Joel, you are an American legend. We love you to pieces!!❤️
Billy Joel and Garth Brooks in one video. Be still my heart.
2:14 when the backup vocals come in, Garth turns around with a huge loving smile, priceless.
Clay Decoursey cuz bj tries going that low still outstanding
That high my bad
You know your one of the greatest when Billy Joel is your back up singer! :)
Back up singer needs her own record deal!!!
No disrespect to Billy Joel, but I really never liked to hear him sing, however he is very talented. He's one of the best writers they are. I absolutely love this song. I was dancing with this ole country boy back in the day and he sang the entire song to me. Those days are gone but not forgotten.
Garth makes sure he gets evryone on CAMERA.....Mark of a GREAT ONE!!!!! SELFLESS............WOO/HOO!!!
Congratulations Garth Brooks for being entertainer of the year this year, thank you Billy for being you. You are fantastic and amazing and I've always loved you! Professionals

I love my old school Metallica, I was talking to a fella one night & discussing music & what genre we liked.

Would totally love it if Garth came bk and toured to Ireland!! Met him in 1995. Love him. He's my fav male artist.xx
Two of the the biggest icons in music on one stage singing about how I feel about the love of my life. Priceless!
Garth was my first musical love in 1992. I have always admired his pure joy for music and performing. A prime example is when those background harmonies surprise him at 2:16 in this video. Beautiful spirit.

One of Garths biggest hits ..written by Billy Joel .
Awesome song, takes a real man to sing & really feel this song!!
Seeing how Billy wrote and originally recorded this song more like Garth is saying THANK YOU for letting me do this one.

Just, sick!!
Thanks!! 💖
This song is so emotional. To sing it right you have to give it your all
I never felt envy in my life, but looking at everyone all massed together in innocent, crowded, concert-goer-ness breaks my heart now that we are trapped in forever seeming COVID-19.
the true video and not just a Pic of the show
First time I ever saw. I love both those men.Wow. I grew up on both their music. Great you two. Xo
Love those back up vocals 2nd phrase of the bridge! Took Garth by surprise too!!!
Cool and class mixed into one New York State of Country!
His arrangement of this was insane good.
I came here as a billy fan, I never really paid Attention to Garth. When he was in his prime was the ninties and I wasn't into county, more just alternative and 70s and 80s music
So I feel like I really missed out on something with Garth. Now iv got to check out my husband's old garth brooks cds, he was a big fan of garth brooks and has a lot of his cds.
He stole the show and totally Rocked that song.
Garth Brooks....on tour.....heck yes!!!!! Please come within a 100 mile radius of ND!!!!!!

You got billy Joel singing backing. How freaking cool is that.
Wow that was awesome, two legends.
Can't wait for Garth to tour here in US such an awesome performer
Lord they are straight jamming . almost to much to handle wish I was there
Yes! I have those televised concerts on dvd & they are awesome!
A song for the heart of a man...a real man!
Gives me chills!
"Shameless"
Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'd do anything you want me to
I'd do anything at all
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
There ain't that much left of me
That has very far to fall
You know I'm not a man who has ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied
I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer
Anytime I see you standing there
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise
But you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
I have never let anything have this much control over me
Cause I worked too hard to call me life my own
Yes I made myself a world and it worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I never had so much to lose
I'm shameless...shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I ever missed
But I've never been in love like this...
It's out of my hands
I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
But I don't want it anyhow
So I've got to let it go
I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You can make a total fool of me
I just wanted you to know
I am shameless
Shameless...
Shameless...
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit that he's wrong
I never lost anything I ever missed
But I've never been in love like this
It's out of my hands
I'm shameless
I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I gotta let it go
I'm shameless
Shameless as a man can be
You can make a total fool of me
I just wanted you to know
I'm shameless
Just watched this for the first time! OMG!! AMAZING
Garth is such a great performer. So much emotion
BEST.VERSION.EVER!!!!!!And I love Garth is wearing #Mets gear!!!!(Even has a Brooks jersey!!!)
This is just wow... Speechless...
I'm a huge fan of Billy and Garth but I NEVER KNEW that Shameless was a cover!
Fantastic! Love the song when Garth sings but seems so much better with the two together!
That was awesome! Garth always kills it! I love theseguys!
Pure Gold.
I love this song. And love Garth Brooks
Al of you are legends in your own right, God Bless You for the peace love and joy - Praise God
Absolutely love this song!💕💕💕

Real music.
"I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
And I don't want it anyhow
So I've got to let it go"
