I went to a billy joel concert in the nineties, he sang the first few lines of the opening song and hardly sang the rest of the night cuz the audience of about 15,000 drowned him out singing along and they knew every word of every song by heart!! Incredible really, ive never seen another concert like that before or since.
Little known fact about this performance that I only know because I was there... But when Elton messed up the last verse and they ended.. Jay Leno came out and said "Elton wants to do that one more time..." And then he went on to say how this never happens because everything is filmed live. So we got to hear it AGAIN! But apparently they ended up using the first take anyway! lol Glad we got to hear it twice though!!!
I can't help but to cry while listening to this song. It reminds me of how fast life passes you by. I was twenty just yesterday. Now I'm 78, with one foot in the grave. I, too, am from the NYC area, including Hicksville and the Village Green-area. A great song for the ages.
I feel your emotions. I only heard this version last year on the radio. It was 9am February 13th 2021 and my husband and I were on our way to his sister's house to join family (during covid restrictions) to wait for the hearse carrying his 53 year old sister and take her to her funeral. We looked at each other and wept. I held my husband's hand and said we need to be strong for the rest of the family now. 💜
I know how you feel. Im 45, and like has gone by so fast. I feel like 70 is just around the corner if make it that far. I can't believe how fast it all went.
Still kicking, old timer? I’m just messing with you. Hell, your generation has thick skin. You’ll be alright. Perhaps you’d like to spark my curiosity? Probably not but it’s worth a shot. I’d like to ask you a question, if I may. Well, a few questions actually. What are your current thoughts/feelings towards death? How have those feelings changed throughout your life? Are you at peace with it? Thanks in advance if you choose to entertain my morbid curiosity. Now for some context. I’m a 33 year old man who’s had my feelings towards death change drastically over the three decades I’ve been around. I won’t lie. Death used to terrify me as a child. Even as I grew older, I would find myself having anxiety over the thought of my own demise. It was a fear that I’m sure every human being that’s ever walked the Earth has felt. The fear of the unknown. Over the past five or so years my views have changed. I feel that I’ll be much more receptive, even welcoming. I feel as though I’ll be at peace when the day comes. If you’ve made it this far I thank you for your time. Please, only answer my questions if doing so will not upset you in any way. Again, thank you 🙏 Raise a glass to your good health! May you live to be 100, my friend!
Elton is a classic, he makes a big mistake and just plays through. This is a sign of a real pro musician. They don't get phased by losing track of where there at and recover like champions.
@@marktobin8144 he missed his entrance on the line "I have squandered my resistance" so Art paused and they got back in time with barely a pause. It's my favorite version of the song.
Hello There, Billy would approve of my cover then, Because there are NO SCREW UPS, But don't just take my word for it, If you could spare some time and go and have a listen to my cover of this great song on my channel, That Would Be Great, Many Thanks, STAY FRIENDLY ; 0 )
@@valentinacardile4771 Don’t make it sound so mediocre lol. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. There’s a reason I know Billy Joel and not the musician you mentioned. So he must be doing something right.
Bennato appena passabile .... Anche nei testi Joel è fenomenale : Summer Highland Falls... Honesty .... Shades of Grey.... Vienna ... River of a Dreams ... Ecc ecc ecc
Shows that Elton John is a true pianist and professional, to be able to play another person's song, in pitch as the person who wrote and sung it (Joel), even though he sings in a completely different pitch normally. I would never thought of this being played as a straight duet on two pianos; and the fact that they are different pianos and be able to keep to each others time and pitch. True musicianship and rare to see.
4:16 Elton John: It's nine o clock on a Saturday and the regular crowd shuffles in, and the manager says. It's me you've been coming to see so forget about life for a while. Billy Joel: ok...
It's 2023 and I could watch these two play piano and hopefully will until the day I die they are such a great musicians. I'm definitely partial to the piano as I took classical lessons since I was five I could actually read music before I could read
The brilliance of Elton John is supplemented by the brilliant lyrics of Bernie Taupin. Billy Joel writes the music and the lyrics. So many fantastic songs from both camps to last us all a lifetime.
Queen, Elton and Billy Joel are all my favourite!! Although Billy is probably my favourite just because his music helped me through a tough time in life.
There was a time when I thought Billy Joel was Elton John's successor. I didn't know there was such a great collaboration. You can get a kick out of their singing voice. Thank you for the precious video.
They’re both the reason I started playing piano when I was 11 and it’s been 11 years later and they still inspire me and bring me joy. Two wonderful legends.
I've always enjoyed this song, but both Elton John and Billy Joel together?? Absolutely stunning! Don't think I've had ever goosebumps like I got from this duo. 2 fabulous performers. Thank you, gentlemen! ❤
I love this! I remember listening to “Piano Man” on the radio in 1977 while prepping cabbage for coleslaw before the restaurant opened for the evening.
Phenomenal display of musical greatness on one stage. This is a beautiful experience of a lifetime. Two piano men,who are living legends. It don't get no better than this. I would of loved to been there to experience this masterful musical event.
I've always hoped that Billy Joel and Elton John had collaborated at some point. I don't know why, but I've never gotten around to checking until now. It's great seeing two legends singing together and having a great time.
Beginning in 1994, Elton John toured extensively with Billy Joel on a series of Face to Face tours, making them the longest running and most successful concert tandem in pop music history.[1] During these shows, the two have played their own songs, each other's songs and performed duets.
Well, I'm 25 and can say, this is music. Thats exactly how to touch the Soul. Sad to see that this times are over...at least it seems like. I would love to see them live together

Two of the BEST piano players of our generation. Look at the skill concentration required too play both the piano and harmonica at the same time plus some singing REAL SKILL!!!!
Seeing them perform this, and all their other tunes, back to back....at a live concert...was just mind-blowing. The entire audience sang along with every single tune both of them played. A truly highlight of my concert life...starting in 1961, age 14.
Honestly it just shows that these two awesome legends are truly singing and playing here. No lip syncing, no just going through the motions. Just two amazing talents displaying their gifts. Truly badass in my opinion

"It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday and the manager gives me a smile, 'cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see to forget about life for a while."
Although I have seen Billy Joel 6 times (the last time at Hyde Park on 7th July 2023) and I have seen Elton 3 times, the concert tour with them both performing together at Wembley’s old stadium was my biggest disappointment as Billy was unwell and had to pull out on the day. Fortunately the night was saved by a tremendous virtuoso performance by Elton who carried the whole night by playing both his own and Billy’s songs. Quite a few people in the queue turned and left but he was amazing and did everyone who stayed proud, especially when he moved everyone from the cheaper seats to the nearer rows. Billy is a great performer but on that night Elton played his heart out and really win my respect!
These two are 2 of the very few and greatest singer/ piano player and song writer Artists to ever play. As a piano player, I aspire to play like both of them have learned from each of their own uniqueness and style. I love both of their special artistic techniques to the piano. Both of them are of the very best!!!
Too bad 'Billy' is such a pain in the ass, no longer recording because he is no longer a happy man! It's his way at being vindictive towards the fans! 'Brinkley' dumped him, so that's why he stopped recording! Yes, & she even brags about it! Go figure, so no 'Billy' you were never doing what you loved, because if you were you would still be doing so! Go crawl back under the rock! And that's coming from some one who was your biggest fan! What a huge let down you turned out to be! And the worst thing about it, you don't care! News Flash, NEITHER DO I ANY LONGER! The last time I saw you was during 'The River of Dreams' tour! It was time number 8 I saw you live! Go figure, Another one bites the dust! GO AWAY!
These two gentlemen, legends, have long had the greatest backup bands and orchestras in the industry.. always magic, the music. What a brew, these two. Wow!
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: billyjoel00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
They both seem so happy to be there playing this song together, it's really a bittersweet song but they are both playing it cheerfully like they are just having a great time.
Epic. In one word the perfect description and a complete understatement. In truth, the English language doesn't contain words to adequately describe this performance.
"Piano Man" always makes me hopeful, I don't know why but this song motivates me . I feel little bit a sentiments in my heart and my mind is full of positive too. This is magic song
I remember back in the 1970s when Elton and Billy were doing their thing. Always hoped they would join forces and perform together. And so it came to pass. Fantastic.
This really is one of the most beautiful things in the world! I love Elton and Billy, amazing pianists/ performers/ music makers. This is a performance I didn't know I've been dreaming to watch, so thank you! 😍

One of the best mistakes ever along with Paul Simon's mistake in The Boxer during the concert in Central Park.
What mistake

For gods sake people, just enjoy it, no it is not the original, but do you enjoy seeing two superstars playing together.

Yes
Ok!😁
David Malton Ok, boomer
David Malton there was a mess up but it didn’t matter
You can tell Elton is enjoying every minute of singing Piano Man. Love it.
After years of only performing the same songs night after night, I'm sure he was happy to play something different for a change. 😏
Typically it’s Elton who loves showing off his beastly piano skills but Billy Joel is just as amazing if not better.
A lot of people don't realize how good they both are on piano. They make it look easy.
Eric Carmen was amazing as well!
Oh we realize. Two of the more gifted ever.
I think people probably realize that.
Billy Joel is the all time dominator
They’re both legends. It’s like having a piano-off between Mozart and Beethoven
Playing the harmonica and piano at the same time!! Such a talented man!! ❤ Billy Joel.
Eh capirai non è l unico. Guarda Edoardo Bennato. Suona anche la cassa col piede insieme,(per non parlar dei testi)
@@valentinacardile4771 Don’t make it sound so mediocre lol. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. There’s a reason I know Billy Joel and not the musician you mentioned. So he must be doing something right.
Harmonica on it’s own is incredibly difficult to learn. Add vocals and a piano? Yea, it’s hard. Takes years of practice to sound like this.
Si ma Bennato è scarso ... Non è certo un musicista come Billy o Elton ...
Bennato appena passabile .... Anche nei testi Joel è fenomenale : Summer Highland Falls... Honesty .... Shades of Grey.... Vienna ... River of a Dreams ... Ecc ecc ecc
Imagine being able to play the piano professionally and at the same time a beautiful harmonica and sing, that's TALENT!
Grandioso Billie....no doy crédito a lo que veo ❤
Imagine Freddie Mercury playing and singing along side them too.

they were awesome both times i saw them touring together.
Elton sang the second half of the verses in a higher octave than the original. I guess it was too low for him.

@@morgenher Good one. I remember they did Your Song on the concert for 911
They do a lot of each others songs together until 'Billy' got butt hurt over 'Elton's' comment on 'Joel' no longer recording new music!
The way Billy Joel responded to Elton's forgetting the last verse xD "OK?"
it was a joke, he changed the words on purpose
@@alisa818 ok
Everyone's here talking about Elton messing up a verse while I'm over here admiring Billy's epic piano solo at (3:31).
FACTS! He really SNAPPED . 🔥🔥👏🏾
These 2 artists were my inspiration to play the piano and sing, and do it well.
I really hoped they would have extended the solo so Elton john could have done it as well :( that was awesome
My favorite performance of this solo is from Tokyo, 2006 - th-cam.com/video/7pF04BaF9SQ/w-d-xo.html

Same bro
There was a time when I thought Billy Joel was Elton John's successor.
I didn't know there was such a great collaboration.
You can get a kick out of their singing voice.
Thank you for the precious video.
This song will be an historical document for future generations. We all deserve songwriters to record the reality of life in our times so sincerely.
Saw Elton and Billy Joel multiple times. Both great live performers.
They’re both the reason I started playing piano when I was 11 and it’s been 11 years later and they still inspire me and bring me joy. Two wonderful legends.
I was able to see their tour 2 times. I still have great feelings from them. Two masters.
This is two men who know their craft, and can work together and not try to compete with each other, and create something magical
These two people Elton and Billy are legends,they will never die.
If they would die one day
Their candle would burn out long before their legend ever will.
Saw them both in concert together in 94, & it was EPIC! GOOSEBUMPS rn!😊

@@ashrimpcalledhank you got the year wrong. It was more like 2000 (or around the time of this performance). That's when I saw the 2 together.
@TinaJ4 Face to Face tour 1994 to 2010. As well I believe they are currently on another Face 2 Face this year and the next.
Billy Joel’s song Piano Man will be legendary for all time. The lyrics themselves are poetry perfection!!
I like how even though Elton messes up near the end, they both laugh about rather than get mad
Well, I'm 25 and can say, this is music. Thats exactly how to touch the Soul. Sad to see that this times are over...at least it seems like. I would love to see them live together
Two true legends who have more talent than most of the "singers" that are around nowadays. What a treat to listen to.

Very nice treat to listen to....

One of the best versions I've ever heard.
Best performace of Piano Man, especially when Elton screwed up that verse :D

Quite a few people in the queue turned and left but he was amazing and did everyone who stayed proud, especially when he moved everyone from the cheaper seats to the nearer rows. Billy is a great performer but on that night Elton played his heart out and really win my respect!
Sounds like an amazing time that you will never forget.😊
Ein unglaublich guter Song der viele Menschen verbindet, wie man hier sieht !!!! SPITZE und einfach geil, könnte ich stundenlang hören ❤❤❤❤❤
These two are 2 of the very few and greatest singer/ piano player and song writer Artists to ever play. As a piano player, I aspire to play like both of them have learned from each of their own uniqueness and style. I love both of their special artistic techniques to the piano. Both of them are of the very best!!!
This is amazing! The two best pianists together! I have to add: I love Elton's hair here. He finally mastered his look! It's confident and casual.
It's a really good song. Also this combo is amazing.
What a great performance! Two amazing artists together, singing from the heart. It doesn''t get better than this.
Too bad 'Billy' is such a pain in the ass, no longer recording because he is no longer a happy man! It's his way at being vindictive towards the fans! 'Brinkley' dumped him, so that's why he stopped recording! Yes, & she even brags about it! Go figure, so no 'Billy' you were never doing what you loved, because if you were you would still be doing so! Go crawl back under the rock! And that's coming from some one who was your biggest fan! What a huge let down you turned out to be! And the worst thing about it, you don't care! News Flash, NEITHER DO I ANY LONGER! The last time I saw you was during 'The River of Dreams' tour! It was time number 8 I saw you live! Go figure, Another one bites the dust! GO AWAY!
I am a fan of both Elton John and Billy Joel, and this video makes me smile.
A wonderful combination!
This may have been the last time Billy sang this song in the original key. Brings back great memories.
He sang it in the original key until 2003 or sometime after.
These two gentlemen, legends, have long had the greatest backup bands and orchestras in the industry.. always magic, the music. What a brew, these two. Wow!
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: billyjoel00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
You know you've become a legend when Elton John covers your music
ニヤニヤしながら、涙も出てきました。fantastic！
Elton and Billy, two awesome ,talented and gifted men performing this great song together , it can't get any better than that is right!
THIS IS TOO ICONIC FOR ME TO HANDLE
They both seem so happy to be there playing this song together, it's really a bittersweet song but they are both playing it cheerfully like they are just having a great time.
This is amazing! 2 legendary singers and piano players performing together
Epic.
In one word the perfect description and a complete understatement. In truth, the English language doesn't contain words to adequately describe this performance.
"Piano Man" always makes me hopeful, I don't know why but this song motivates me . I feel little bit a sentiments in my heart and my mind is full of positive too. This is magic song
I absolutley love these 2 guys. Wrote some amazing songs. Great singers. Would be on bucket list to meet these 2
It is astounding. That way that Elton John makes this song his own. It is astounding
I remember back in the 1970s when Elton and Billy were doing their thing. Always hoped they would join forces and perform together. And so it came to pass. Fantastic.
AMAZING!!! LEGENDS NOT BECAUSE WHAT THEY DO BUT BECAUSE WHO THEY ARE!! ARTIST THAT INSPIRE A BETTER WORLD!!!!
This really is one of the most beautiful things in the world! I love Elton and Billy, amazing pianists/ performers/ music makers. This is a performance I didn't know I've been dreaming to watch, so thank you! 😍
