I gotta be honest. I was searching for more live performances of Billy doing "Prelude/Angry Young Man" and when this came up I would've skipped it and moved on, but your comment grabbed me and pulled me in. Thanks for a perfectly accurate comment and for getting me to check this out. I DID surely enjoy it!

I met Billy Joel a few decades ago. He arrived on his motorbike and was about to go on the radio, so he was nervous. But when I asked him a question about a recent magazine interview he gave, in which he spoke of surviving a suicide attempt, he sat down beside me and we chatted for around 15 mins. Since then I have met a multitude of people, celebs, therapists, and non famous people, and I can state categorically that the conversation I had with Billy was possibly the best therapy one could experience, even when compared to “real” therapy. He’s a terrific person.

Just now saw this how great it is. Reminds me of when I saw in concert Billy & Elton together like this 1993-4, pianos back to back, it was amazingly bliss. Billy was having a blast the entire concert & Elton seemed a bit annoyed at times, not sure if it was staged but it didn’t seem so. He has a supersized sense of humor. That’s why people love him, he’s real...
