    Thank you for uploading the concert! Billy is a National Treasure! I'm a fan since my 20s (68 now)...and a Long Islander via Queens and now a resident of Suffolk County for almost 18 yrs...I identify with Billy's lyrics. The man is a legend!

    I was 12 years old (1979) and attending a summer school for kids interested in computers in Adelaide, South Australia. "Kids, come to the auditorium, he have something for you". "This man is performing tonight at the Bridgeway Hotel and he wants to warm up". Out walks Billy Joel. Eight kids, 2 teachers, microphone only, just him without instrumentation. Three songs (Piano Man, Honesty, Just the Way You Are). Best 15 minutes of my life. He noticed me...I was the one singing along.

      I saw him in Perth, must have been around the same time, my mum got into his music pretty early on so we had all the albums, ended up seeing him twice, he's right up there with the GOAT'S imo, I prefer him to Springsteen.

      Well no such experience for me.
      Never heard of Billy till I/we had an old boys reunion.
      My old school buddies, wives met on a Spanish island.
      We had wine and sing evening and Ian Cameron, living in Toronto, introduced me to "the piano man"

    Mike, congratulations to you, your wife and daughters for being the beneficiaries of this well-known practice of Billy Joel. My wife and I saw him at his April 2023 residency at MSG and it was an amazing experience. You really captured the feeling of what it is like to experience his concert from a front-row perspective. Thank you for the video.

    The MSG shows exhibit why Billy is our Beatle and really helped us all feel the power of music in a very special way. Love the Natural theme as walkup music. What a band, what a night, what a show, what a crowd, what a city, what a love affair with said city. OUTSTANDING.

    I saw Billy with his pretty much original band on The Stranger tour. That couldn't be eclipsed, but would have wanted to see him again yet never have. After Glass Houses I kind of never connected quite as much. Still, the man brought us some more good music through the years and many great live performances. So glad to see him once again taking to MSG and bringing it. The state of the music, at least for me, today makes this stuff all the more treasured. Great post. Billy is a music giant up there with the top ten rock musicians of all time.

    I saw him live in Perth, Australia on 2 different tours late 70s, he must have toured alot at that point, his band we're awesome back then, I put his concert just below ABBA on my musical highlight list, ABBA only ever did around 100 concerts ever worldwide so to see them(actually Agnetha, I dont recall seeing the others much) is still my outstanding concert event.

    これが最後の来日になるかもしれないと、彼の歌声、ピアノ、一挙手一投足に注目していました。
    会場におられる方皆さん同じ思いで、ビリーさんも日本のファンに感謝を込めてピアノを弾き歌ってくれました。とても温かい貴重な時間を共有させていただきました。ビリーさんのファンで良かった、本当に良かった、ビリーさん貴方は本当にオンリーワンな方です。できればまた来て欲しいです。あの魔法のような時間をまたいただきたいです。

    Thanks for this friend! I also had a lucky night at a Billy Joel MSG Concert, but I sure didn't end up with front row seats quite like yours. Rather I took the cheap seats behind the stage and got pretty close to the action that way for a Autumn 2017 concert. Nobody expected that Miley Cyrus would walk-on and sing for half an hour and the crowd went crazy when she did. What a bonus that was! And then later on comes Paul Simon with his guitar and played and sang his heart out too. Towards the end of the program, both came out together and did an ending with Billy Joel , before he finished solo. What a treat, three concerts in one and a great memory. There's a bit of video of that on my channel, ciao.

Mike, I am so happy for you. Once upon a time I had this happen at Elton John and Billy Joel together in Madison, WI. I was in the front row by a total accident of fate. I still carried a non-video cell phone back then. So happy you have shared this with the world. Your story included with the video makes all the difference in how special this is. Congratulations, best wishes and may all your days be filled with music.

    It was 1994 River of dreams tour for me and my best friend. Back then, no internet, no cell phones, only word of mouth "rumor" that Billy Joel moves fans down from the nose bleeds. We were sitting in the dead last row near the ceiling when a man approached us and said "Is it just you two ladies tonight?". I can still hear him in my head 30years later. We were moved right to the second row and it was the best experience of my life. (next to my kids being born of course!) No cameras, no cell phones, just great memories. Here we are 30 years later, I live in Florida since 1995, but have seen Billy Joel a total of 22 times. i am coming to MSG for his last show, with that same best friend, and we keep hoping it will happen again. I was thinking my friend and I are too old to get picked for the front row now, but reading your story gives me hope!

      Thank you. I think I said it earlier but I like to record things as it helps me remember and relive them again when I play them back in the future. So I started out with that pan of the stadium then when the final pre show song started I began recording again and I really wanted to capture the thrill of when the lights go down and Billy walks out. Then I was thinking I’d only grab a minute or two from each song just to remember. But at the end of the night it seems I captured a lot, much more than I was planning and some of the video was so good when the other musicians came to the from that I figured I’d drop it into iMovie and create this video. Had no idea it was get to 33k views (as if today, when I posted this comment) but I guess the fans are enjoying it. It really does give a nice perspective of what it’s like to see the show from up front.

      No it's not. You can't even see half the band or the singers all at the same time. All you see is him and close ups. And frankly, why even go if you're just going to hold your phone up and record the whole thing and not even experience it.

      I'm glad for you and your family to be the recipients of Billy Joel's generousity. I've only read that he gives away some of the best seats to the fans in the 'nose bleeds' sections. It's so neat to actually speak with someone who experienced it first hand! An early endearing Holiday gift for you all and you captured something that is everlasting!@@mskvarenina

    My go-to playlist on TH-cam music is Billy at Sigma Studios in 1972, fantastic sound. It's great to see him still sounding this great 51 years later!

    Thank you for this footage! I'll never be so lucky to see Billy in concert, even though I am his second biggest fan so thank you for this footage.

    Big Shot!
    Funny, when I saw him tour the album 52nd Street at MSG, back in the late 70's. instead of the piano spinning around while he sang, HE was spinning around on his back on top of the piano! Great show!
