This was an amazing gig. Once you realised the melody on the piano was kicking in. The excitement started to build for a musical legend to take the stage and perform. One of those gigs to say I was there.
was at the show last night! OMG Billy was awesome!! what an amazing performer , had the crowd in his hands from the first second 🙂 one of the best gigs I've ever seen
Yes, was there too. What an extraordinary band of talented musicians too. The young black girl was an amazing singer and musician. Could play anything. The guitarist who sang Nessum Dorma pitch perfect, playing a Hard Days Night by the Beatles, Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin…..all perfect. What a performance and a superb uplifting night.
Sad to think this may of been his last gig in the UK, but it was fabulous, from the Piano Man ... The YT videos never have the sound clarity of the actual night, so Im glad we were there to share it with 65,000 other fans,
I was there and the whole set was incredible. Billy is one of the few artists I love but I'd never seen live before and he blew me away. I'm still buzzing now 4 days later! Daryl Hall was shocking , and I actually love H&O and have seen them 8 times. Rumer was great on the smaller stage, but Billy Joel was next level.
Love this guy and his music forever! My Life Billy Joel Got a call from an old friend, we used to be real close Said he couldn't go on the American way Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the West Coast Now he gives them a stand-up routine in LA I don't need you to worry for me, 'cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone I never said you had to offer me a second chance (I never said you had to) I never said I was a victim of circumstance (I never said) I still belong (still belong) Don't get me wrong (get me wrong) And you can speak your mind But not on my time They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else Ah, but sooner or later, you sleep in your own space Either way, it's okay, you wake up with yourself I don't need you to worry for me, 'cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone I never said you had to offer me a second chance (I never said you had to) I never said I was a victim of circumstance (of circumstance) I still belong (still belong) Don't get me wrong (get me wrong) And you can speak your mind But not on my time I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone (Keep it to yourself, it's my life) (Keep it to yourself, it's my life) (Keep it to yourself, it's my life) (Keep it to yourself, it's my life) (Keep it to yourself)
Omg Billy Joel is wearing his famous black ray ban sunglasses! ❤❤❤, I'm literally fangirling here as those were the first things that caught my attention when I first started looking out for live videos. P.S The first concert video was 1990's Yankee Stadium and he still looks cool 😎 in them.
Just the beginning , starting with Beethoven's "Ode an die Freude", the anthem of the European Union then can still count as a nod . And then imperceptibly transition to "My Life". What is it with these grunts ❤van 74?
Interesting, the song is originally in D major, now it´s an halftone lower in C#-major, but Billy still plays in D(as you can see in the video, when the spot is on the keys). I wonder how that´s done, Piano tuned down a halftone?
@@dantribe3935 That’s the only explanation, that the grand piano triggers a midi piano, with transpose on. „Piano Man“ was a whole tone lower, in Bb instead of C.😊
Billy plays on a electric piano, you can tune them up or down with just a switch of a button while still playing in the original key. It's all done offstage by his soundguy though. Billy doesn't even turn on his piano haha.
