That's the greatness of 35mm film!! When things are filmed digitally they're permanently stuck at that fixed state,even with upscale. Transferring film to digital will look like this!!! I'm LIVING for restored film!!😍
This version is on a faster pace. It sounds better than the original. Moreover, this song is on a higher key than the usual Billy Joel songs, it shows the versatility and range of his voice. What a performance!
Brazilians don't even let the singer sings! xD We make so much noise when we're enjoying the show that some foreigns artists are actually scared and think we're being unpolite...
He's doing well to stay so energetic, hardly taking a breath, moving around a lot - no wonder the sweat's streaming down his face. And it doesn't detract from his performance at all, in fact its a lot more uptempo than the original.
My Dad died 02. Jan 2024, and my Grandpa died 15. Jan 2024. They both liked and loved Billy Joel and his Music! It was their both wish to meet him one day but sadly it never happened. Now it is on me, i hope one day to meet him and just make a Picture with him, like Tom hanks in "terminal", this woud be the greatest gift for me, my dad and grandpa. I miss you both! And Billy? keep on rocking!!
Billy Joel has a quality that has made him so successful, beyond his massive talents as singer, musician, composer and lyricist. That quality is stage-craft--or you could call it showmanship or pageantry. He knows how to connect with his audience and show emotion through gesture, acting, stage position, dancing, facial expressions, interacting with his band, as well as music and singing. It's on display here more than usual as he works so hard to communicate the spirit of the songs to his non-English-speaking audience.
Я родилась в июле 1987г в Москве, за неделю до этого концерта, получается. Песня знакомая, а об исполнителе впервые узнала вчера, когда искала кто поет Pressure, уж очень она мне по радио недавно понравилась.. Печально, что после таких веселых американских концертов так жестко поломалась наша жизнь.
George Simms is brilliant. His confidence and vocal skills shine here, especially when he's walking closer to the audience on stage and snapping his fingers.
Aurora also does things like that. For example in her song "churchyard" near the end she starts adding an "erè orò erè" in between pretty much every line. But that's just an example, she does it in most of her songs
This was my mum's favourite song in the 1980s. I can't swear to it being her all-time favourite though - one of the questions that I wished I'd asked before she died 35yrs ago. I've avoided listening to this song over the years, as it's got the power to choke me up (as it's doing right now). But I'm drawn to it today and I'm glad that I watched it (several times). Never take your mother for granted and ask all those important family history questions, while you can. I lost my mum when I was still a teenager - I didn't ask enough questions and now I'll never know the answers.
Он привёз свою семью в СССР в пику антисоветской пропаганде (слышишь, Сильвестр?), чтобы доказать капиталистам, что здесь тоже живут люди. Спасибо вам за эти легендарные выступления и за доверие! He brought his family to us to show all the children of anti-Soviet agenda that people of the USSR are just people. Thank you, mr.Joel, for your love, energy and devotion!
I like this song It is very upbeat and easy to hear. But I think It is too difficult to sing. There is no break during verse. I was almost dead while singing this song. What a great performance!
Still listening in 2019 This reminds me of what I said to my husband when I met him back in 1998. He "tooted" from the "dark side of his moon" 😏.. 🍃 I was appalled! 😨 The way I was raised I was told it's rude to "let one rip". *"Uptown Girl"* I was. 👸 He broke me of that. 😁 Truth! Thank you for posting. Peace ✌
All the videos from this concert are really so good. The video quality is somehow more clear than a lot of modern videos. Not to mention the downright amazing musical performances. Another video from this same concert "Big Man on Mulberry Street," it is hard to believe it's a live recording. So impressive!
Who else could make oh!! oH!! OH!! oh!! oH!! OH!! Into a lyric line and make it work. 1:16 one finger I love this! The keyboardist on 0:52 Amazing and respectful crowd
Acabo de ver un vídeo de esta canción que la canta en live como 20 años después, cuando está pelón y más gordo, cómo se va la vida, y pensar que ya no habrá artistas tan buenos cómo estw
For such an old video the quality is brilliant!

@@DerrickDX Not necessarily. You can also have it scanned and have it in higher res.
@@dannythehipster5644 it’s another fellow Thomas fan hello 👋
@@m.4081 It is, because if it was filmed on tape, it wouldn't look as good.
What a restoration man really blue my mind i had to check the description twice to check the date damn!
The backup vocals are insane in this performance!
Hello fan
Is nice meeting you here.
Thanks for your love and support.
Yep
Yes!
One of his best

In Russia when the audience claps to the beat of your performance, it's a sign of respect and that they're enjoying it
It's the same in the States, as long as they're actually clapping on beat.

@@filipebotelho3548 Naw, this is why everyone love Brazil, they're known for being awesome like that.
Get the hell out of Ukraine!
puuh especially in that time
Billy's band was never quite the same once this drummer was taken out.
And after he fired Doug Stegmeyer.
Why was the drummer kicked out.
What happened
I saw on 2:02 what happened
@@luciafernandez1266 wikipedia says he was kicked out for an unknown reason
The drummer was awesome, so fun to watch
Agree
im probably the first and last to say this but billy joel is, in my opinion, the american elton john he reminds me so much of him for some reason.
Nah, I'd definitely agree! That explains why I'm a fan of both! (even though as a 24 year old, they were both before my time I suppose)
Bring your daughter to work day! Such energy and passion; a true performer!
i love how mark and russell are just vibing. really, russell always vibes to things. and mark points to the sky when he says uptown girl
No other backup singer sang the Ohs like this. It's not human. 😲
冷戦の終結を告げるような明るい歌だった。
When he was getting his daughter I thought he had just collapsed at the back of the stage
Kurt Cobain? Close, but no cigar.
He's doing well to stay so energetic, hardly taking a breath, moving around a lot - no wonder the sweat's streaming down his face. And it doesn't detract from his performance at all, in fact its a lot more uptempo than the original.
It's the cocaine.
I like watching Billy's live stuff. No lip-syncing and it still sounds good.

I love watching the audience in this video. They are totally in love with Billy. Of course, we are too.
That's the kind of audience I like, alive audience
Not a cell phone in sight. So perfect.
Lol everyone there is so exhausted, from the band to Billy Joel

Hello, thanks for your positive compliment about my songs. it’s nice seeing all this beautiful comments. how are you doing?
I am your big fan Sir ! From Houston / Texas
This man is one of my biggest influences
I'm obsessed with this performance.
Me too!!!
Me too.
Love how he gets into his performance what a personality
Man got the '80s beauty Christie Brinkley. What a big shot.
Bet he was all Big Man on Mulberry Street after that
look at this stunning quality!

А что вы думаете о песне Honestly? Это, пожалуй, самая красивая песня у Billy Joel.
Liberty DeVitto on fire....He was one of the top drummers of this era.....he brought his best every night.....
Love this song!❤
So cute baby Alexa! She's really his uptown girl!🎉
This, is real talent
Me canta esta mucho cancion 🙂 👍
Remember back then you could lean up against the stage and be right there up close. Now you are like 50 feet back.... bummer.
Great Song!
great back up vocals live
the backup vocals just add to my favorite song ever great live performance
George Simms is brilliant. His confidence and vocal skills shine here, especially when he's walking closer to the audience on stage and snapping his fingers.
I saw Billy Joel when I was quite young, but he definitely delivers on his show, he goes above above and beyond for his fans.
wow
1:16 one finger
I love this!
The keyboardist on 0:52
Amazing and respectful crowd
I love his dance moves!
yeah i cant stop lisnin to htis
bb
Wow.. endless positive vibes
The video quality is surreal! even the camera works really took ahead of its time.
Absolutely breath taking. Such raw talent.
I love his music !
The vocals are just mind blowing. I feel like everything is perfect but I do wish the drums were a bit louder.
Håller med, gillar med bakgrundsången. 😆😍‼️

Freddie mercury
@@matthewmckendrick16 yeah i think you are right about that.
Even if i cant think of an example off hand. How bout you?
Paul McArtney did better....what does Obla di obla da mean ??
Wszystkiego
Billy Joel, always an entertainer first. Nothing but respect for this guy.

高校３年の頃にアルバムを買いテープに録音して聞いていたのを思い出す！！８０年代は最高だ！！

How do you do a cover of a song you wrote?
Billy Joel WROTE "Uptown Girl" for Christie Brinkley (who Apoeared in this Very Video Down Front)
Absolutely Amazing!❤
uma delícia essa música!
1987 tour of the USSR--even the Beatles never got that chance though Paul went there twice as a solo act.

This reminds me of what I said to my husband when I met him back in 1998.
He "tooted" from the "dark side of his moon" 😏.. 🍃
I was appalled! 😨
The way I was raised I was told it's rude to "let one rip".
*"Uptown Girl"* I was. 👸
He broke me of that. 😁
Truth!
Thank you for posting.
