I went to his (probably the last) concert at Tokyo yesterday. This song was the opening song, and soon after he started playing the prelude, the audience got pumped up! It was one of the greatest night in my life and their lives who were there. I’ll never forget the moment of the live forever.

First thing I noticed was the crowd: lots of arms clapping and absolutely no phones. God, I miss those days.

Look that crowd!!! No phones. Just living the moment ❤

If you're watching this in 2021, I love you and you're not alone... never !

It is a crying shame...that you can only upvote this once!

His band here is absolutely outstanding

The drummer IS the heartbeat of the band..

It's a shame whatever happened between him and Liberty. Liberty is a beast and carries so many of Billy's songs.

Best live version on KZfaq. Absolutely bloody fantastic 👍

One of the all time great artists, and in my opinion still an underrated song. One of the best in the 70s

Billy Joel is a musical genius

Who ever hears this song has a great taste of music.

Love this! Everyone is at the top of their game! Billy Joel is a musical genius!

That Beethoven Ode to Joy beginning transition to the song is Amazing.

I was 7 years old, and living in Avon Connecticut when this song came out. I vividly remember sitting next to my mother in her car, driving on the backroads of central Connecticut, and listening to this song. Billy Joel is a living legend and a national treasure.

What a drummer, brilliant band.

One of the greatest entertainers of all time

The drummer always has the best seat in the house. He gets to view it in 360 degrees. Great opening.

dude that drummer fuckin kills it

Liberty hits those drums with perfection

Love this❤ in 2024!

He his vocals were totally peaked. He didn't have a low range at all. He was hitting those high B's effortlessly

Frankfurt June 1994 - keyboards David Rosenthal, lead guitar Tommy Byrnes, bass (the late great) Tom [T-Bone] Wolk, guitar Crystal Taliefero, saxophone Mark Rivera, drums Liberty DeVitto and of course the maestro.

Great band. Looks and sounds like T Bone Wolk on bass. Un-sung in this performance and you realise the role each instrument is having. And vocal wow.

This performance is just so energetic. I love it. Maybe the best live performance of this song yet.

My mom took me to the billy Joel concert back in September and it was by far the best concert I’ve ever seen. Keep in mind I am an 18 year old girl. I’m so lucky to have seen him in person and I will definitely never take that for granted

This band is tight!

I am so glad I found this gem of a video thanks to KZfaq. I hope Billy Joel lives at least a hundred years and keeps singing too. I was fortunate to have seen him live at the Madison Square Garden some years ago and I hope to see him next year if the pandemic fears die down and all travel gets normalised. As Tony Bennett called him once.. Billy is a poet and a performer and a philosopher.

That’s whatcha call “pulling a crowd” 🇦🇺

I listen to Heavy Metal but I love Billy Joel.

This was the song that started my passion for billy Joel's music that was 42 years ago and I've been a huge fan since

The drummer played 28 years with Billy Joel and he's the father of Torrey de Vitto from Chicago Med. But the drumstick flying of his hands... there's no price

What a bloody fantastic version of this song!!

The bassline is sick🔥🔥🔥

That drum set sounds sooo good. The quality of the sound is just awesome!

Got a call from an old friend we'd 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 L.A. 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 I was a victim of circumstance I still belong Don't 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 can't sleep with somebody else Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space Either way it's O.K. 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 I was a victim of circumstance I still belong Don't 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

When I used to play out on drums people would always say “you hit those drums like your mad at them” this guy plays like that. I always said you gotta play it like you mean it!! Of course different situations call for different dynamics(like bridge in this song) but the rest of the time…hit em hard!! I love this drummer. Fun to watch and yes it takes a toll on your joints.

My first billy concert. One of many. Thank you daddy for buying the stranger. 52nd Street and the nylon curtain and making a cassette of songs from those albums. I wasn’t even born when the first two came out and was a year old when the nylon curtain came out but my daddy made me a billy Joel fan for life. He then bought the greatest hits vol 1 2 and 3 on cd. The ironic thing his now I listen to him way more than my dad does. I don’t remember the last time he listened to him.

This drummer is CRAZY !! WOW !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This and I Go to Extremes is even better live than on the record. I love both songs!

One of the all time great intros to a song. And I love how Billy has altered it over the years. He incorporates the unofficial Australian National Anthem (Waltzing Matilda) into it when he plays here.

I don't know why Billy's songs makes me teary eyed with happiness.

This is about as good as music gets.

3:20 Love how he adlibs the melody on the third round. Top-notch pro.

The song that hooked me on to Billy Joel, just love the beat and lyrics, such a fun song to sing-a-long with.

I love how he bangs the drums ,have a safe 2021 :)

Bosom Buddies! Love Billy Joel!

A great and fantastic singer singing a classic song . Masterpiece . 👏

This is so good on so many levels I don't know where to begin.

One of the greatest moments in his music

that bass coming in at 1:16... gets me

Been digging Billy for 40 years. And had not idea TBone ever toured with him.

やっぱりビリージョエルはいいですね。来年の東京ドーム公演楽しみです😊

Bata pa lang ako music na ang hilig ko alam mona ang maganda lalo na may lahi din kami mahilig sa music kapatid ko sumasali sa amateur singing contest palagi panalo sa mga sinasalihan.

Billy Joel.... is there anyone more hip than him with a piano in front of him... Wow!!!

Better than the recorded single.

G E. N. I. U. S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This man just loves what he does and aren't we lucky lucky lucky to be alive to listen to him.

Best version of a great song.. went to see Billy at the Palace of Auburn Hills 2 nights in a row on this tour.

Billy is lucky to have Mark Rivera for so long; he's an underrated and amazing player...

L💚O💚V💚E MR BILLY JOEL 🎹🥇🎵🎙🎶🌠

Billy has written some of the best, funnest music to sing. I could listen to his music and love it as long as I’m alive and truly feel blessed that I was growing up when it was originally released and performed. I’ll always love his music. Bless you Billy Joel.

제 나이 58세 10~20대 듣던 올팝 새삼 더 좋다는 느낌으로 듣구~ 요즘 빌리조엘한데 빠져들구~ 굿굿굿!!! ^^

Saw Billy last week in Hyde park in London and the man hasn’t lost a step. The absolute best

Si tengo un día a la baja y necesito energía nada más tengo que ponerme los auriculares y ver esta obra d arte. 🎶🎸👩‍⚕️🎸🕺🎙🎹 🎺🤵 🥁😎 / Gracias Billy Joel & company

1:10 *ALL* the players are into it..! 4:36 REALLY into it!

2023 and stilll the great billy joel...agree????

2020 and I am still with Billy Joel

OMG wonderful song, Billy is awesome and Liberty DeVito is a the BEST drummer 🥁

Incredible voice and performer

i love how billy changes the melody in this one. It still sounds so good 👌👍 🎹

THE BASS IS T-BONE WOLK!!

My FAVORITE VERSION of this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 50 now, have been a Billy Joel fan since I was 15. And My Life has always been my favourite number. Three years ago, I started writing and performing stand-up comedy. And I just realised today that the first stanza of the song says, 'Now he gives them a stand-up routine in LA' ❤️🙂

yep I still love him after like 40 years....been to see him 4 times, my most favorite artist!

When you get tired of singing the same song every night, I guess you have to change it a bit. Still a good version.

So good. Joel's songs, especially this one, are the soundtrack of my teens.

0:31 "T-Bone," Billy's bassist, does this amazing riff

Love this song Billy Joel and band are superb

Señores y señoras.....el maestro Billy Joel !!!!

バカやろーって　言うところが 素晴らしい✨

Billy Joel is the river’s of dreams and the king of Long Island and its a matter of trust to believe ;-)

What excellent musicians! In addition to playing well, I thought it was cool that everyone sang. The bass player is very good. The guy makes each arrangement on the bass, every detail is subtle but adds a cool detail to the song. Congratulations to him. The guy is very good. If you put on good headphones you can hear all the details of the bass sound. Even the introduction along with the drums, the bassist plays a really cool arrangement. 🇧🇷

Insane musicians ,,,perfect rendition of an awesome song!

Outstanding timeless music, unforgettable songs, which formed such a huge part of my youth, all the way to the now. Thank you Billy for enriching us with your songs! xxx

Love Billy Joel 🤗 you have to. One of the greatest

DEC 2023, Billy Joel is still a genius and forever will be

" no importa nada lo que digan, es mi vida " excelenteeeeeee letra . I love you this song, thank thank you Billy Joel.

His Elton John impression at 3:20 is flawless

I like how Billy Joel performs My Life a little slower live

The great Mark Rivera, always giving his best!!

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Man I love those drums!!!!!!❤

This Is the gratest song like allí the songs of Billy Joel

WOW. This was 23 years ago!! No wonder he looks so young!! 🥰👏🏼

What an awesome crowd. Good times.

The female singer on stage in "Storm Front", Billy has said in 2008, "She's got everything on f-ing stage."

Man this guy has it all great talent!!! Excellent looks and lots of cash!!! My hero❤

Glad I got to see Bill a couple of times in his prime. But then again.....will Bill ever be out of his prime?

I love playing bass on this song
