I was so lucky to see Mr. Joel at about this time in his career. After the show, my crazy friend convinced me to go to his hotel and try to meet him. We waited at least an hour when his limo pulled up. He stepped out by himself. He looked exhausted, but he still stopped and gave us his autograph. A true gentleman.

I am so amazed when I think how young Billy was when he wrote this song. There is so much depth and maturity here for a young twenty something to have written. I still hear new depth and meaning to his words in my 60s after hearing his music for the last 50 years. Billy you are an old soul who was wise beyond your years, at least when it comes to writing music.

That’s a great Sax solo…please watch Bruce Springsteen “Jungleland” where Clarence Clemons on Sax and the whole E Street Band perform one of the greatest Rock songs ever both lyrically and musically. Also about NY. There are many great versions but the 2009 Hyde Park Live is pretty cool even though they are much older. Or even the Original Studio version with lyrics.

Two things... I'm a New Yorker, still here, living a good life, now retired and doing all the things this town has to offer. This song captures the heart of a lifelong New Yorker. Btw, I have seen Billy Joel several times over the decades. He's amazing. Secondly, Britt, I hope you don't change the chit chat. I, for one, can feel it's coming from your heart and clever mind. It enhances the reaction, especially in this video. Keep up the good work. 👍

When Tony Bennett adds your song to his repertoire, you KNOW you've written an American classic. Not only did Tony Bennet record this song as a duet with Billy Joel (as did Barbra Streisand), it won a Grammy in 2002. "New York State Of Mind" is also the title of an illustrated children's book written by Billy in 2004that comes with a CD of the song.

@seanscanlon9067 2 ай бұрын

Barbra Streisand recorded it by herself too in 1977 for her Superman album in between Billy's albums Turnstiles that the original appeared on in 1976, and Billy's breakthrough album The Stranger in 1977.

I love this song , you don't have to be in New York to envision you being there . The horn riffs in this rendition are amazing, and just after you had his buffet of music and horns for desert he sends you home with a slice of big apple pie. His new song Turn the Lights Back On is amazing too. His first song in over a decade.

I was the first person I knew who discovered Billy 50 years ago. I feel this performance with Billy singing in the style of jazz singer Tony Bennet was Billy's answer to Tony Bennet's biggest hit, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Another facet of Billy's performances Britt should hear is Billy singing in the style of Ray Charles in a tribute to pianos on a TV show Billy hosted.

@toddeschman8027 2 ай бұрын

Here's the story of this song, Britt. Billy Joel escaped a bad record deal by moving to LA to work at a piano bar under an assumed name (Bill Martin). When NYC defaulted and the fed declined to bail the city out, Billy decided he needed to get out of tinseltown and go back home. "If my city is going down," he said, "I'm going down with it." So this song is his decision to move back home to New York. Try "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)" for a similar -- but rocking -- tribute to New York. A live version is best.

If you're back in the South, go check out a place called Smiles Piano Bar in Savannah Georgia. I've been to 4 countries and maybe 30 states, and that bar might just be my favorite place on earth. I found the bar as a young Marine stationed in the South and nothings ever beat it. They've got dueling pianos up on the stage and they play just about every kind of piano music you can play. The crowd ranges in ages from 60s to 20s. People sing along at the top of their lungs or get up and dance right at their table... And the vibe is pure joy. It's just perfect.

Love your coverage of Billy Joel, an all-time great as you rightly noted. Might be covering the same ground twice, but there's video of a Q and A session at Vanderbilt, I think, where a kid asks to accompany him while Joel sings this. Well, the kid turns out to be really, really good. Billy's a little surprised by how good, but he rolls with it like a pro would. A great moment in the kid's life and a lot of fun.

For me it was Phoenix AZ. I'm a southwestern native American. East coast is far away. Took a TNM&O to Phoenix. It was cold and ugly and hot and fast. I was broken when I got there. But you kinda have to be broken before you can remake yourself. I found my place helping people. I miss it. I'm back in the Rockies. Beautiful place. But sometimes I really do miss the ugliness and the beauty you can find there. If you understand, I don't need to explain.

Very early on in my concert-going years I had the tremendous pleasure of seeing Mr. Joel perform a solo show in 1974 at Fairleigh Dickinson U, Madison, NJ. just after his third album Streetlight Serenade was released. Just Billy and a piano in a small college venue and for the next 2+ hours he was the hardest working man in show business. Later on I saw him again in 1990 during his Storm Front tour at the Spectrum in Philly, another top shelf shelf show. Regarding the music and this video I'll never get tired of it and I wish there was a way to download (legally) the MP3 of it so I could have it in my car.

Fun fact about this performance, Billy had broken his thumb in a motorcycle accident which is why he's playing his solo one-handed! True master of his craft in all facets.

@seanscanlon9067 2 ай бұрын

Not trying to be a dick here but some of what you have said it correct but is just a little off regarding the finer detail. This performance is from 1978 on a programme here in the UK called The Old Grey Whistle Test that used to be on the BBC. It was actually in 1982 though that a woman jumped or ran a red light and hit Billy's motorcycle, flipping him over the handlebars. He ended up breaking his right wrist and his left thumb, to the extent that he needed surgery and now has no bone in the tip of his left thumb. He did a live televised concert at the back end of 1982 called Billy Joel Live From Long Island that later went to video and is also on KZfaq, both the full concert and the individual songs. He then needed to tape up his left thumb to support it and you can see him shaking out his hand on songs like Scenes From an Italian Restaurant from that Live From Long Island concert.
