He's from my hometown on Long Island NY. And he's never "gone Hollywood" ❤

Billy is New Yorks crown jewel, his shows are pure magic

It's time you go back to watch the Greatest Live Performance ever done... PULSE Tour 1994 Pink Floyd - "Money".... As you know it will be spectacular.

Billy Joel is a G.O.A.T ! He is a storyteller and philosopher of life expressed through his amazing music and lyrics. I have seen him in concert four times and was blown away everytime. He is incomparable!

Billy is a G.O.A.T...... fo sho...

I'm old ; I grew up on , Billy Joel - you're a good young Man ; I just subscribed 👍

That instrument you couldn’t name was probably the accordion. Nice reaction. 🌺✌️

Awesome reaction ! Thanks Man!

Some of the instruments are quite subtle, but the song actually includes piano, harmonica, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, accordion, mandolin, and drums!

Now you know just who the "Piano Man" is. This song is a historical account of nearly a decade of his life before "Just The Way You Are" made him a radio hit maker. The rest as they say is history, Classic Rock History.

Billy's got Bars!!! fantastic music.

So glad you reacted to Billy Joey. He's a great storyteller and poet. I put him up there with Bob Dylan.

FANTASTIC!! Billy is a musical and lyrical genius!! Please check out "She's always a woman" another great song among many by Billy!!

BACK TO BACK BILLY..... I Stand And Applaud. This is why you are the Best Classic Rock Reactor on YT.

This is probably Billy's signature song. Other favorites of mine "Still Rock and Roll to Me" and "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant".

Billy Joel is a great storyteller. You should check out "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" whenever you get a chance. Peace out! ✌😎

Accordion is the instrument you hear. Keyboard played with air like a harmonica with bellows moved by hand

Thank you for not pausing the video every 5 seconds. Gave you a like.

Singer, piano player, harmonica player, story teller, song writer...the list goes on and on...thats Billy Joel.❤❤❤❤❤❤

One song of Billy’s that I have not seen get reacted to is I Go To Extremes. One of my very favorites by him.

That's how he started out, playing piano in a bar where he got to know all the regulars. This was his first hit. I heard it on AM (amplitude moderation) radio in 1973. I was 13 years old. Been a fan ever since!

❤️❤️❤️

Billy started playing in bands when he was 14, but found himself on the bad end of a record contract in the early seventies and disappeared from the music scene by playing in a piano bar in LA for 6 months under the name Bill Martin, which is his middle name. In the mean time Columbia records came calling, got him out of the bad record deal and the rest is history

I love your commentary. "Nothing is new under the sun" yes, this song will always be relatable.Great reaction!

Really enjoyed your reaction! Love this song & artist! Some of my favorite Billy Joel songs are, "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant", "New York State of Mind", & "We Didn't Start The Fire" ❤️‍🔥 New sub from TN :-)

One of the all time great songs.

"THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!!!" ... That's what you said the first time you watched the Magnificent Classic Rock Legendary Voice.. You can believe this song is just as impressive.... Joe Cocker - Feels Like Forever (LIVE in Dortmund) HD

JM, you've spent some time getting to know why we suggested you do this man's music. I know there are several others coming soon, and Billy is becoming one of your favorite artist. My own B.J. Best has 66 songs....

One song I'd like to suggest for you react to is "Stranger In My House" by Ronnie Milsap. I think you'd enjoy it.

Awesome job dude.. great song.. living legend

"Piano Man" It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" La, la-la, di-di-da La-la di-di-da da-dum Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke But there's some place that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me" As a smile ran away from his face "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place" Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da La-la di-di-da da-dum Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone Sing us the song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say man what are you doin' here? Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da La-la di-di-da da-dum Sing us the song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright. WE all can relate

My senses tell me that any time now we will see you trying not to cry hearing the Famous Last Words album.... Supertramp - "Don't Leave Me Now"

This is his life, and he says the people are real. That is him playing harmonica with it attached to his shoulders.

Just a word about old school lingo. There is a line where he says, "...as the businessmen slowly get stoned." Back in the day they used the word "stoned" for being drunk as well as being high on weed. So in this case, he means "as the businessmen slowly get drunk". Also, (you may know this one) money was often referred to as "bread". So people are putting tips in his jar.

Great reaction, Billy Joel has so many hits!

His first hit, put him on the map.

Dylan.... "Forever Young".... "Highway 61 Revisited"... You already know they are going to be awesome.

Scenes From an Italian Restaurant Song by Billy Joel. Ya gotta check that one out.

If you are doing more billy please 🙏 do" New york state of mind" but do greyhound that's 🔥🔥🔥

👍

A true piano player, nothing better IMO.

A national teeasure Billy Joel is. Try New York State of Mind.

This song is beautiful, but sad. He knows everyone's names and story, but they just call him Piano Man. Only the bartender knows his name.

Billy Joel was " The Piano Man " !!!!!!!!!!!

Good background work.

Trivia TIDBIT, Paul the Real Estate Novelist was played by Tommy Lee Jones before he became famous, back in the mid 70s. A Real Estate Novelist who never had time for a wife chatting at the bar with a "Navy for Lifer" was a coy way of painting a picture they were gay back in the day.

I believe you were hearing the mandolin playing a counter melody during the chorus

After the guitar man here comes the piano man 😀

Listen to Billy Joel’s “Goodnight Saigon” please.

On behalf of all of us who would like to know.... What are you glancing at to your right, our left.... Clock? Window?

THE DEFINITION OF LOVE: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." Romans 5:1-11. Also John 3:16-17

sufficiently breathless , captain beyond. not a famous song, you don't have to react to it, but i think you might enjoy listening.
