I am really impressed... to do all this by memory with no sheet music and not one error. Billy Joel has to see this and invite you to play for him at a concert. Perfection!
You are quite simply phenomenal, sir. I play piano daily, at my church, at parties, at funerals, at weddings, and you have been such an inspiration to me, creatively, artistically, musically, etc., etc. ETC. If you are now a Board-Certified Radiologist, I trust you will not give up the piano, as it would be a great loss. God bless you!
I am addicted to you.....I started with your Whitney Houston Medley....I heard that every day...found out the textes and did the voice to your medley....now I found this one.....I will also work it out....I love you just they way you are....thank you
I used to be an aspiring pianist. I once wrote to pianodoc and asked him how he did it. He said he didn't know. Here he presents another great medley. Wish him the best and wish I could've been able to do something like it without knowing how!
This compilation has got me thru a lot of tough mornings, life in the uk is hard at times and waking up in the pitch dark to do a full days work when your suffering with depression is not a nice feeling, but the rare times I have twenty mins to spare (breakfast, shower etc), this keeps me company and reminds me of my favourite performer ever, so thankyou from rainy England for helping me get thru another day.
You did each and every one of these perfectly. I'm a huge Billy Joel fan, and I'm also a huge fan of piano medleys. This did not disappoint. (You never do, though. I love your other medleys, you are so talented. All that time you've probably spent practicing is so well spent, I just... wow.) Anyways. There was only one song on this list that I didn't know, but all the others were spot on. You captured the life of each song. I'm just gonna stop before I end up going on and on, but... this is awesome, thank you so much for sharing it!
I could listen to Billy Joel music for hours on end, especially the way you interpret and arrange it. I was overjoyed to find this in my inbox. This will be listened to over and over again. Many thanks for taking the time out of your very busy life to share your talent.
Holy shit. Ive been playing billy joel for years and its never sounded as beautiful as this. Thats it, time to start saving up for a full grande. My little upright just doesnt cut it anymore
Piano Doc - I posted for the first time when I discovered your unique talent just a couple weeks ago. I just read about your radiology boards. I am an RN certified in trauma working in a busy ER. I passed your videos along to one our ER physicians who immediately agreed that you are extraordinarily gifted. By the way, Elton John, Billy Joel, and so many others would be proud to have a musician of your caliber take such an interest in their music. You have by far done justice to their songs by putting your own heart into them and creating your own version. Thank you for sharing your gift…even while busy with your studies! Playing the piano is a wonderful release for me too! Angie
TY but no apologies are necessary- TY for putting these medleys together- They are great for me, and my student to see that starting with those boring old scales will lead them to whoever they listen to on the radio. TY so much.
PianoDoc82, Please don't apologize for something so beautiful. Your music is great to study to as you keep my energy up without the distraction of someone singing and I love Billy Joe's stuff BUT when ya' study, I need to concentrate. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
Billy graduated Julliard with one of my younger sisters.. Once you learn classical, you are prepared for any other kind of music you enjoy.. Do it! the world needs more music..
That was epic. You know, the more I think of it, the more I think Billy Joel is one of the greatest composers. The lyrics, on the other hand I am not so sure about.
This is an awesome work to say the least. It was a great tribute to one of the most talented singer songwriters that we have. What you did was to me a piece of art, because you wove the songs together very harmoniously with great taste and great feeling. Everything was a flow. And the transitions of one song into the next was every time a great pleasure. And always I thought how does he transit the next? Those transitions really are magic and tell of the artist that you are. Because you lead us into the mood of the next song and it's as if you are the guide in an emotional trip and you introduce us to the different emotional worlds that Billy Joel created and at the same time we enjoy how deep you understand his music because you really understand to transport through your piano the essence of each song and the listener goes: wow that's awesome. I hear the complete song in my mind and it's just a piano. How does he do that? And in your heart you go: O this pianodoc is really a genius because he shows me here more clearly than when Billy sings why I love his songs so much. I listen to this medley often. It became part of the playlist of my most inspirational piano songs. As a pianist I learn a lot from you. How you emphasize melody, accompaniment and the different tones and registers of the piano differently. You're a very fine pianist and we're glad to have you. Never stop being an artist. The world needs passionate musicians like you with the right feel and soul for the music.
This is absolutely perfect! I love piano, and I love Billy Joel, and this medley just so happens to be long enough that I can study with it in the background and not have to find a new song to listen to every 3 minutes! :)
This is amazing I play piano it's my favorite instrument and Billy Joel and Elton John are my favorite artists and all of your medleys are absolutely perfect! I love it so much keep it up!
well i have to tell you it is 9:00 on a Saturday and I am sitting on my piano practicing my Billy Joel intros ( I can do about 10) no way close to you and came across your medley. unbelievable greatness! thank you . Billy Joel is my idol and was lucky enough to meet him! we spoke for about 15 minutes and a great guy! he'd be very proud and impressed of what you have put together. You just missed Miami 2017 and Cpt Jack... so maybe time for an upgrade you can throw in Shameless being Billy wrote it. Anyway anawesome performance! thanks so much!
I'm 25 and I've always loved his music since I was like 14 years old. And this is just a wonderful medley of all the great stuff! Thank you! Listened 'til the end btw ;)
This is so amazing!!!! I listened to this all the way through and I am in awe at this! Being a piano player myself, you are truly an inspiration! Keep it up and i aspire to play as phenomenally as you someday!
Amazing how fast 27min goes by I am an absolute fan of Billy Joel I wonder if the piano man himself herd this rendition maybe not cause if he had he would invite you to play along with him... again totally awesome you ROCK pianodoc82
What an absolutely flawless medley this was. Billy Joel is my favorite artist of all time and you did every song justice. Hopefully someday you'll have the time for a part two! :)
i just wanted to say... THANK you! i thought i was totaly alone with the love of billy joel! i grew up with his songs and love them still! (latley i hearing his whole discography and rediscover (for me) songs like pressure!) i#m quite sad that he hasn#t got the popularity he so much diserved! Thanks again! love it! (put it on my favourites! :) )
once again, just back to watch and listen to your amazing music....simply uncanny with your recall and almost pristine if I may in the sheer seemlessness of your presentation...I second the comment of ProPostNews. You are the bomb of piano music "medliers."
I keep watching this video. I swear that at least 20 of your views here are mine (meaning I've spent the equivalent of a full workday and then some listening to just this one video of yours). Regardless, every second of that time was well spent. It's funny that you wrote this medley while studying because I use this medley TO study. Thanks so much!
Dawn approaches on this end of March 2018, and a fair part of my night has been spent listening to these medleys. I must make it to Piano Man! Thanks musicdoc82. Alright, 5:22 AM and good night from Los Angeles CA and good morning to ya wherever you are! ( by the way..made it to the end..awesome.. ;) )
Fantastic interpretations, the sequence fits like a glove. Rendition of Goodnight Saigon is impressive. Real talent, a lot of work, it sounds great, congratulations.
You requested feedback. I've been a fan since 1971 and understand his talent as I am quite talented also. You did magnificently!!! I cried when you got to "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant". You made it sound like a symphony!! Thank you for sharing YOU'RE amazing talent!!
Sounds pretty good. A little hard on the compressor in the piano, but recording in a space like that isn't ideal, I realize. It was a nice medley to listen to. I'm always amazed when listening to the chordal and melody choices that Billy has made over the years. Always good to be reminded how great he is.

This video has 77,589 views as of the time of my post.
I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for 70,000 of those views.
I have just one view that is the same as the 70,000. I am all ears. I can go on listening
I am really impressed... to do all this by memory with no sheet music and not one error. Billy Joel has to see this and invite you to play for him at a concert. Perfection!
Half an hour of magnificence, awesome!
You are quite simply phenomenal, sir.

I've listened to this all the way through easily a dozen times and lemme tell you my dude, I still love it just as much every time
Outstanding playing. Feat of memory, technique and musicality😯😯😯😯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Most soothing. Having just lost my only older brother, your beautiful playing comforted me. Thank you so very much.
I respect someone who can play the piano for 30 minutes and do a nearly perfect take. plus 9001 respec points.
Fabulous! Made my evening! How I wish I could still play...never stop! God Bless
I honestly can't get enough of this!
BRAVO! This, my friends, happens to be a towering achievement of Western civilization.
I've been coming back to this video for a while now. Just wanted to say how much i like it!
I am addicted to you.....I started with your Whitney Houston Medley....I heard that every day...found out the textes and did the voice to your medley....now I found this one.....I will also work it out....I love you just they way you are....thank you
Just the Way You Are at 3:28-4:40 is superb.
True talent! Fantastic renditions with just enough of a personal touch! She's Always A Woman is my favorite of yours.
Keep posting new music...absolutely cannot get enough. Your music is the soundtrack to my life...literally.lol
I used to be an aspiring pianist. I once wrote to pianodoc and asked him how he did it. He said he didn't know. Here he presents another great medley. Wish him the best and wish I could've been able to do something like it without knowing how!

I still love you man! Please never delete this channel, it would break my heart.
I'm not a piano player, but I'm a Billy Joel fan. What I especially appreciated were the seamless transitions...
You did each and every one of these perfectly. I'm a huge Billy Joel fan, and I'm also a huge fan of piano medleys. This did not disappoint. (You never do, though.

... from beginning to end, simply beautiful.
Holy shit. Ive been playing billy joel for years and its never sounded as beautiful as this. Thats it, time to start saving up for a full grande. My little upright just doesnt cut it anymore
This is without question one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.

Just found this gem. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. So wonderful. ❤️
NO words .. simply breathtaking medley!!
I listen to this every time I study. Fantastic job!
TY but no apologies are necessary- TY for putting these medleys together- They are great for me, and my student to see that starting with those boring old scales will lead them to whoever they listen to on the radio. TY so much.
Flawless and truly beautiful. You're a brilliant musician and your arrangements are so smart.
PianoDoc82,
Please don't apologize for something so beautiful. Your music is great to study to as you keep my energy up without the distraction of someone singing and I love Billy Joe's stuff BUT when ya' study, I need to concentrate. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
So many exceptionally talented people on here will make it seems more doable until I try to learn myself! Amazing
This Is So Awesome. I love the way you play. I can listen to this all day. Thanks a lot for sharing it.
Billy graduated Julliard with one of my younger sisters.. Once you learn classical, you are prepared for any other kind of music you enjoy.. Do it! the world needs more music..
Billy Joel didn’t go to Juilliard.
Absolutely seamless playing! Lullabye is a tear-jerker for me as it reminds me of my late father and you played it absolutely perfectly!
That was epic. You know, the more I think of it, the more I think Billy Joel is one of the greatest composers. The lyrics, on the other hand I am not so sure about.
So very happy to have found your incredible rendition. Fabulous!!! Thank you.

I thought of writing a comment but you said it all here. Amazing work @pianodoc82, you're truly gifted!

You've just done my hero some justice there my friend and I praise you for that! This is absolutely amazing! Great Job! 😃🎹
Such a great medley. I listen often while studying or reading for classes- gives me a Billy fix but with the ability to multitask. Great work!!
This deserves so much more views and likes. >.> It's so beautiful what you can put together. Billy would be proud.
This is absolutely perfect! I love piano, and I love Billy Joel, and this medley just so happens to be long enough that I can study with it in the background and not have to find a new song to listen to every 3 minutes! :)
U made my day..u r the most beautiful piano player in the world!!

You are my favorite piano player on TH-cam, by far. Thank you for posting, even though I just now found it a year after ha.
once again, just back to watch and listen to your amazing music....simply uncanny with your recall and almost pristine if I may in the sheer seemlessness of your presentation...I second the comment of ProPostNews. You are the bomb of piano music "medliers."
How folks could give this performance a thumbs down is beyond reason.shame on you.
I can't even explain how much I love this. Truly amazing!
I keep watching this video. I swear that at least 20 of your views here are mine (meaning I've spent the equivalent of a full workday and then some listening to just this one video of yours). Regardless, every second of that time was well spent. It's funny that you wrote this medley while studying because I use this medley TO study. Thanks so much!
This is the most god blessed medley i have ever listened to!!! *BEAUTIFUL!!!* :D
This is so wonderful that this is my second time..ALL THE WAY THROUGH.. fantastic. " good stuff " indeed. Want more!!!
That was the best 27 minutes! Sounded fantastic, Doc!
Great work. I just listened it and I'm really impressed how smooth the songs change👍
Dawn approaches on this end of March 2018, and a fair part of my night has been spent listening to these medleys. I must make it to Piano Man! Thanks musicdoc82. Alright, 5:22 AM and good night from Los Angeles CA and good morning to ya wherever you are! ( by the way..made it to the end..awesome.. ;) )
That was awesome can tell how passionate you are from the way in which you play
Absolutely amazing you do all this in one take.
Absolutely amazing! You are truly a very wonderfully gifted musician.
Thank you. I'm amazed at how quickly 27 minutes can go by. You chose the perfect song with which to end the medley. :-)
Loved this. Thx for the inspiration. I make up medleys all the time as well. This was awesome!! ♥️
Queen piano medley?
hell yes!!!
No.
Please
That’s a gorgeous sounding piano damn
Fantastic. I'd say.. divine. Perfect. Thank you.
Fantastic interpretations, the sequence fits like a glove. Rendition of Goodnight Saigon is impressive. Real talent, a lot of work, it sounds great, congratulations.
You requested feedback. I've been a fan since 1971 and understand his talent as I am quite talented also. You did magnificently!!! I cried when you got to "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant". You made it sound like a symphony!! Thank you for sharing YOU'RE amazing talent!!
This is absolutely smashing ! Love the "Piano Man" rendering...
Fantastic job! Really enjoyed your playing!
This is fantastic! A new favorite listen.
This will be my new workout video! Thank you.
Sounds pretty good. A little hard on the compressor in the piano, but recording in a space like that isn't ideal, I realize. It was a nice medley to listen to. I'm always amazed when listening to the chordal and melody choices that Billy has made over the years. Always good to be reminded how great he is.
This is simply amazing and I don’t see even 1 sheet of music on your stand !!
I saw Billy Joel in Houston and I like goodnight Saigon
Excellent job. You must have been playing for years
You are amazing. I could listen over and over again!
This guy is so impressive!
Now this is the type of piano music. I would like to see you plat Kujas theme from final fantasy 9
Beautiful work as usual. Well worth the wait! THANKYOU!
