    The Old Grey Whistle Test was a weekly TV music show during the 70s and 80s on the BBC in the UK. Unlike most other shows of the era, the bands and artists always performed live, with no lip syncing.

      Great video from a great show, TOGWT, was hosted by DJ Bob Harris and always featured live music of the time. For many UK residents this show was our first exposure to top American talent, like Billy Joel or Bruce Springsteen, but mainly the show was a steady diet of British Prog Rock of the Era and there are some amazing performances that were captured back when musicians could reproduce the record on stage as well as the studio ✌️

    From the same concert there is a rendition of "New York State of mind" which is just remarkable and really showcases his piano abilities. The thing about music is that it's kind of like a time capsule. I can remember the chapter of my life when this song was popular and was on the radio quite often. I love that music can do that.

    If you're wondering what on earth was The Old Grey Whistle Test ; When music moguls got the first cut of a record, they would play it to the doormen in grey suits, known colloquially as the old greys, guys who often were the doormen at at the in/out doors of places where musicians would sit and write songs. Any song they could recall and whistle, after having heard it a couple of times, was deemed to have passed the old grey whistle test and was destined to become a popular hit.

    The best live version of "Just the Way You Are," I've ever heard, is Billy's December 29, 1982 performance at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Mark Rivera played the sax solo and he knocked it out of the park. Really, the whole concert is great. It's available on TH-cam. It's worth checking out if you're a Billy Joel fan.
