Lyrics:
You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure
You're just like everybody else
Pressure
You've only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure
You used to call me paranoid
Pressure
But even you cannot avoid
Pressure
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle
Pressure

This *filmed* concert is the best evidence of how unfortunate the move to digital concert filming was, at least in the late 80s and 90s when the resolution and optics were still subpar. Shame to think of the amazing concerts (Queen, Prince, etc.) that were shot on videotape and look like rubish today. And then you see something like this. Incredible contrast, resolution, fidelity, color balance, etc.

Liberty DeVitto just crushes on this track. Played with Billy Joel for 30 years, and now has The Lords of 52nd Street with the other members of the Billy Joel band, Cannata (sax), and Javors (Guitar) (the bassist, Stegmeyer, unfortunately passed in 1995). They still tour without Billy Joel, and play all those songs - would love to see them live

Billy Joel did several concerts in Russia. At the first one in Moscow there was a little incident. During this very song the crowd was cheering and dancing, but every time the lights came on they would freeze and return to a stationary position, as they feared they would get in trouble. It was sapping energy from the show, and Billy had a melt down where he upturned his keyboards and smashed a microphone stand against his grand piano.

Billy at about the pinnacle of his performing career.....running all over the stage, frenetic....the Storm front tour had a little of that, but the old band was gone for the most part and he was a getting up there in age. The Bridge tour was the end of his best years as a performance artist IMO. still solid later on of course but this tour in 1986/87 was the end of the very high energy shows of his youth.

Man that David LeBolt is fantastic on the keyboards! It’s too bad only us really know who he is! The new generation has too much of a lack of music appreciation! And...Yes Liberty! If there was a Billy Joel action figure set,Liberty would be the first icon I’d buy! Mark Rivera,next level talent and that man gets that crowd moving with his unstoppable energy! I’ve also gotta give credit to some of the greatest background singers in the business Pete Hewlett (check out his acoustic performance of An Innocent man on KZfaq!) and George Simms (Brother of Frank Simms (The Kool Aid Man,Oh Yeahhh!!!) Russell Javors And Kevin Dukes keep the rhythm steady And of course Rip Doug Stegmeyer! If there’s a path between music and euphoria then your bass is truly the bridge! Lastly props to the crowd! Despite everyone’s indifferences,I’ve seen no better display of love,support and humanity! All because of you Billy Joel!
