omg, "voice has never faltered". Cant lower the key any further, off key at 3:03-3:05, no punch, no power, bad karaoke. Save your money, stay home, put on his records. Period.
@@markgriffiths3262 He is 73, give him a break and from what I am seeing is the sound wasn't done well at this show, I have seen other vids from the show. He is still worth it!
@@markgriffiths3262 I don't want to hear a record when I go to a concert. Part of the magic of live performance is that there is a person, who may not be pitch perfect at all times, but who is performing live what some techno-geek board dude cleaned up, usually too much to put out on record. Actually, I never cared for Billy's studio stuff. Just like Paul McCartney, his records never have the range and power of his live music.
Its over for both. Stay home, put on there records and save your money. I was a huge fan, but have come to terms that live gigs are over for both.Have been listening to both for years. Get over it, like I have. To quote myself, "The voices are gone, the legends remain.
I agree, but don't charge outrageous ticket prices as if he was in his prime. But I suppose there will always be fools and deaf people with too much money that will always pay.
The piano man strikes again! Only this time, with an electric guitar, as an old man. 😂 Billy Joel is a seasoned performer and now an oldtimer. Good for him! God bless him! 😊
The older you get the less you worry about looks, its more about , personality, keeping yourself nice, and the few close friends. For the schmuck who said, he may look a 100, you should be so lucky to have his body of work.
For all my comments about Billys current vocal ability, I must admit he is truly amazing when I heard him sing Innocent Man posted 5 months ago singing live. My god he, to my ear, actually hits the high note, twice. Bravo to Billy!!!
@@markgriffiths3262 His voice is honestly in very good condition. Sure he hits a few out of key notes just like every other musical artist in existence
Nobody sings a love song like Billy Joel or any song really. Fun: I went to school with a neighbor of his ex wife’s. I think that’s cool 😎 we share a birthday. Well same month. Supposedly that means I’m supposed to marry a rockstar or somebody rich.
I get my second wind after a big night on the Beer and Curry , comes not long after my first wind. Once I swear my Third wind sounded like a elephant asking for a high five.
The voice is still there , bit weaker but still in key and mostly sounds the same. The booze fueled Billy of the 70s and 80s is long gone but compared to his peers he still sounds awesome.
Sounds good for his age (hope I sound even a quarter as good just talking as he does singing (my singing voice is not even a thirty-second as good as his) when I reach his age), but I'm not sure this was a good opener. Walking out with the guitar made him look way too old. Kinda hurt thinking about the energy he had in the music video and seeing him walk out to preform in concert 30+ years later.
@@BobCat623923 I get it, but he has a great guitar player in his band by the name of Mike Deljudice. Mike also does back up vocals, and in truth, at this point in Billys great career, would rather hear Mike sing Billys songs. I think he still plays in his tribute band "Big Shot". Check him out, get back to me, on what you think. Cheers, Mark
@@markgriffiths3262 I know who he is...I've heard him. Isn't Tommy Burns Billy's lead guitarist?? I know Deljudice plays guitar, never put him in the "great" category exactly for his guitar playing...he's a great singer, I do know that, he does that opra thing before Scenes that always wows the crowd but I think Billy's Star guitarist is Tommy Burns right??
@@BobCat623923 Thats right. I agree, about Deljudice and his guitar playing, but he also plays piano mainly. But he is not there for either instrument, it is his vocal instrument that is exceptional. Backing vocals and helping Billy at his live gigs. He also does all the sound check set up for him before shows.When Billy first heard him in his tribute band, he thought it was actually a recording of himself. Later he made appearances at some of mikes gigs, then asked him to tour with him full time. Quite a story really.
FFS he can hardly walk, hardly move. He's not even playing the guitar and he can't sing. The narcissism that keeps these old codgers going 30 years past their due date is just astounding.
