same! i went like 2 years without listening to it and listened to the full album again last week & i was blown away again by it- i’ll admit sometimes i skipped Meeting!! no more .. i feel like i can appreciate it more now that im older too
1210 VIP EXCELLENT, poignant reply... Back to the subject matter, yeah, I've always felt that 'Meeting' + 'Jungleland' should always be played together as one leads so perfectly into the next.
I'm a little stunned that Paul couldn't find "Meeting Across The River" in his memory. An epic piece only for piano. Sadly, that moment from JK played out more like the boys from Spinal Tap trying to recall "Heartbreak Hotel"!
I saw Bruce Springsteen two nights in a row on the Born in the USA tour in 1985. We loved the first night! We were completely disappointed the second night when it was word for word, note-for-note, step-for-step, identical to the night before. I know that was 32 years ago but perhaps Bruce is still scripting his shows. This is not criticism, just an observation.
His Broadway shows are scripted because it's BROADWAY!!! You have a script. You have a showbill. You do and say things in a certain order. That's how Broadway shows work whether they are a stage musical or a one woman/one man show.
luisalonsoecheverria Bruce Springsteen is on Broadway? So is it a play? A musical? I thought he was talking about a concert. Regardless, those concerts in the 80s were scripted. Very unlike rock bands at the time.
Springsteen is currently doing a Broadway stint. It's a one-man show. Springsteen tells stories about his life and performs various songs from throughout his career completely acoustic.
It's a solo Broadway-show. A regular Springsteen-gig is anything but scripted. Look at his setlists from the past decade. On the Wrecking Ball tour he played over 200 (!) different songs.
Wow, when Billy said Flatbush Avenue and Ditmas Avenue. What a small world back then. Funny thing is, I'll bet most of the Lefties in Brooklyn TODAY aren't even natives. Meaning, they haven't been residents since BEFORE '95. It's a WHOLE DIFFERENT Brooklyn TODAY. DEFINITELY NOT the same place I grew up in during the '70s and '80s. Definitely NIGHT /DAY.
Omg Bruce does a scripted show? Every move is scripted? Jesus Christ. Even all those runs into the crowd? I don't think so. Bruce isn't scripted. But he is the local hero. He is used to live here awhile
That's awesome how he knew the chords perfectly like that...that's a pro.
Knowing the chords to a song you’ve only heard isn’t really that impressive. Most musicians are able to do that!
@@martinjamesdaley Jesus, people like you...
Paulius Paškevičius Don't be so sensitive! People like you.....
yeah, he should be a musician
I'd say he's played it before himself, maybe just at home.
His impression of Bruce is literally SO good!
Meeting Across The River is probably the best crime film never made. Such a great song. A noir rock song.
I kept waiting in vain for "Meeting Across the River" to be used in an episode of "The Sopranos."
I was so happy when he mentioned that song :)
Similar to "Incident" and "NY City Serenade". Really thematic tracks.
How the hell does Paul, being a musician himself, not know about Meeting Across the River, which is on one of the greatest R & R albums of all time?
Wow do I ever agree !..'Jungleland ' as well
Meeting Across The River was a very underrated song. I forgot how good it was.
Probably my favourite Springsteen song!
My favourite too......😊

"Meeting Across the River" is the prelude to "Jungleland" off Born to Run. "Atmospheric" indeed.
I just paused this and listened to that song for the first time. Make it 5 times. It's now my favorite also. I love The Piano Man "brilliant"
Still one of the best raconteurs, never lost his charm and sense of humor.
Now let's see Bruce do a Billy Joel impression.
Billy Joel is a very underrated vocal impressionist. He does a killer Mick Jagger, as well as both Lennon and McCartney.
I'm sure he could give "Allentown" a run.
Don't forget Ray Charles!

My favorite Bruce tune as well Billy! As for you, Until the Night...a masterpiece, many thanks❤🇺🇸
my favourite Billy song too very very underrated
Good pick by Billy on "Meeting." He could have picked any of Bruce's 40 biggest hits, but as a piano player "Meeting " had to be natural for him.
That was awesome! Thanks for posting. Two of my favorite Singer Songwriters: Billy and Bruce.
My favorite Springsteen album was easily Nebraska. A very haunting album.
I still have a Sony CD alarm clock. Nebraska has been waking me up in the morning for 20 years. I keep meaning to change it...
Omg. I LOVE Joel dictating chords to Paul. Wonderful!
yes i would love one real sex please
Julian Frare Would you like fries with that?
I think Billy actually has the chords a little wrong.
Billy Joel is a legend
Queen Trill Bruce Springsteen also, I love them both.
You gotta love him he did a stellar job and I bet Bruce will love it.
Mr. Joel is always in a New York state of mind
*LONG LIVE BILLY JOEL!*
I like that song too. That and Jungleland are OPERA.
1210 VIP EXCELLENT, poignant reply... Back to the subject matter, yeah, I've always felt that 'Meeting' + 'Jungleland' should always be played together as one leads so perfectly into the next.
Meeting is a very good song.
"No Billy we're good tonight" - Springsteen
I was getting so hyped every time he said “Brooklyn”. I found it great that my idol is Billy Joel and my name is brooklynn lol.
Brooklynn Hill wouldn't it be awesome to meet him and have him address you by your name?
The Nostalgic Stino Stamos that’s the dream
I always say I miss Dave on TV very much. Now I just realized how much I missed Paul too. The man's a genius.
They were just awesome together. I'm so glad that more and more complete shows are popping up on TH-cam.
Paul Schaefer is AMAZING!!!
Meeting Across The River!!!...one of my favorites!!!
All hail King Joel
legend.
Marcus Persson 👍
Long Live King Joel!
Billy is on my list of shows to see.
That may be the first time that I've ever seen a guest calling Paul out on a song he didn't know.
Hard to believe that someone who loves Meeting Across The River can write a song like We Didn't Start The Fire but I'm glad he does!
someone accused him of stealing that....google it.....
@timmcgrath3995
He can write any kind of song.
@@WooBino. I can accuse you of stealing my comments, also. Does not mean anything until it is proven
One of my favorites too
Billy joel sempre foi um grande cantor e compositor.Gosto muito de suas musicas e sua simpatia continua lindo
I'm a little stunned that Paul couldn't find "Meeting Across The River" in his memory. An epic piece only for piano.
Sadly, that moment from JK played out more like the boys from Spinal Tap trying to recall "Heartbreak Hotel"!
Billy Joel has turned into my 👴.
Love this guy!
Meeting Across the River.
I'm glad Billy loves it too.
Yet I'm sad not too many people remember that gorgeous song.
I mean, come on, Paul.
I think Paul has reached the point that he knows so many songs that when one song goes in his brain, another comes out.
Billy Joel - you picked mine too!!
Words I thought I'd never hear myself say, "Billy Joel is absolutely correct about Bruce Springsteen's best song".
Ricks Americana 👍
Great choice!!
Wow, just wow
That recreation was outstanding lol 😄
Yes that is a great Springsteen song...I think it's from Born to Run album.... Hey Billy you do a good Springsteen impression👍
It's a lovely song to play on the piano very jazzy maj7th chords
Cant believe BJ and I have the same favorite Bruce song!!
This is great!
I knew Billy will not disappoint.
Great choice, Billy.
and remember, just dont smile.....change your shirt...cause tonight, we got style
and if this one doesn't work they ain't gonna be lookin' for just me this time
1:49
Love Springsteen but love Joel too. Unfortunately not seen the latter play live 😢
great choice
Meeting Across the River
*”BACKSTREETSSSSSSS”*
Billy wasn't even BORN on Long Island...I wish LI wouldn't define him. For me the wonderful musician he is is what defines him, not where he grew up.
Billy Joel out here lookin’ like Walter White after his first Mill.
Every guy with a shaved head looks like Walter White? lol
Matt S Just the white ones.
Nah.
Asks the favourite song at 1:45
Billy is the coolest guy that walked the planet
Meeting Across the River is also one of my favorites, after NYC Seranade and Wages of Sin.
I still can’t get past Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records. Billy and Bruce are cool too.

His Broadway shows are scripted because it's BROADWAY!!! You have a script. You have a showbill. You do and say things in a certain order. That's how Broadway shows work whether they are a stage musical or a one woman/one man show.

luisalonsoecheverria Very interesting. Yeah Billy could not have really expected that he'd let him join the stage for that.
It's a solo Broadway-show. A regular Springsteen-gig is anything but scripted. Look at his setlists from the past decade. On the Wrecking Ball tour he played over 200 (!) different songs.

Definitely NIGHT /DAY.
With every wish
Johnny. Le boss
lou reed is the king of new york
The rich don't have to pay for tickets while the bottom feeders get left out.
I mean their voices are basically opposites
I want to know what he said after he said he didn't pay for tickets - not a good spot to cut it off!
TK W
Do you pay for your friend's dinner?
He said I get freebies
Guys like Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel pretty much never pay for tickets to anything, ever.
@@francismackin4681 the man is still dining out on Piano man! Can you blame him, it's American gospel.
Its was a good thing DJ Whoever was not doing the music or he would have been schooled by Billy Joel.
Watch hired gun. Music documentary. Very eye opening....
Musicians calling out chords… piano players!
that's the one i don't know
Remember back when Brooklyn wasn't cool?
Omg Bruce does a scripted show? Every move is scripted?
Jesus Christ. Even all those runs into the crowd?
I don't think so. Bruce isn't scripted. But he is the local hero. He is used to live here awhile
he probably stole some poor kid's tickets outside of the show
Damn he's getting old
:)
I'm guessing Billy is 4 ft tall
kevin omeara No, 5 foot something taller than me, I’m 5 foot 2.
Kimmel is dogshyt but I love this interview
V
how did jimmy kimmel ever become famous? how did he even make it out of the developmentally disabled home?
Fair enough. But I could name 50 better songs from Bruce. No joke
Watching jimmy try so hard to make his uncomfortable audience laugh is why this country doesn’t work anymore
Rigdon Steinhauser huh?
Such a bad pick tbh, it's the worst from Born to Run
Meeting across the river IS a great song from the Born to Run album.
