What I love when they sing each other's songs -- it's almost as if they have always been singing the other's songs! It sounds so natural, almost as if they had written and had always performed them.
Just brilliant. It's really great when these two play together because their voices complement each other instead of one being stronger or having a better tone. They are both excellent musicians who work very well together without competing, which is very rare.
And to be able to interchange in between verses from lead to second to piano and back again; and remain in tempo. Equally to match each others pitch and tone. True musicians. As an aside this song, was the one that launched Elton John's career. Done as a sample to a recording company, and the rest is history...like this!
Billy Joel maybe ought to become U.S.A.'s next president, he has read his history books, knows the 48th paralel and minor variations and that's all you need to do a good job "over there", who could ask for more? He has even got charm, and can sing better than both Obama and Billy Clinton.
Simply fabulous collaboration, but the sound quality is not pretty good, of course a stadium is probably impossible to get good quality. This was the best song I can remember listening to back home after getting out of the Navy late in 1970. God bless the peace makers.
I agree with you in this point, but I would have accepted swagger more so than swag. That term should never be used to describe someone like Billy Joel, or Sir Elton John.
In proper Japanese it's spelled Toukyou so you can get the kanji correct, but is most commonly romanized (put into US alphabet) as Tokyo, even with the proper spelling in the start of the video and spelled wrong in the title.... it beats me.
+stephen meares If you mean he's not the talent any more, I'm speechless. Don't know who you could consider his equal (Sir Elton, Sir Paul and Eric Clapton come to mind.). He has-- still has-- more talent in his left thumb than most stars now have total. But sir, you are entitled to your opinion.
Fanatical Dueling Billy himself has said Elton is a great piano player, but I’ve heard and read of others saying there is absolutely nothing Billy can’t play. To say is a better player is one thing, but to say writes better music is highly arguable seeing as Elton didn’t write lyrics. Granted u did say “music” which isn’t words, but considering Billy wrote music and lyrics, one wud have to say at very least he is a more complete writer. All comments about someone being “better” shud be followed by IMO as these conclusions are subjective.
@@tribeman19 Modesty bordering on false modesty for fear of seeming arrogant. Look up songs like Prelude/Angry Young Man, Nocturne, Root Beer Rag and Travelin' Prayer by Billy.
That fact that this happened makes my life complete

They make my tears runs with absolute respect for talent. Love to both! Thank you. ❤

The two best - how much better can it get!
I'm so glad my mom introduced me to such music and always told me about the greats of her generation.
2 incredibly talented musicians.
Tooooo be faaair, you try keeping in key at the age of 69

+theolerios probably not, only is depending where you live if its with an i or y ;-)
No. Only ever with a Y.
会社の後輩と観に行ったなあ
I have to say. Billy Joel's range is ridiculous.
I agree with you in this point, but I would have accepted swagger more so than swag. That term should never be used to describe someone like Billy Joel, or Sir Elton John.
Crocodile Rock
What is the song at :16?
"Crocodile Rock" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Billy entering to Yankee Doodle has me dead. As does Elton, but I don't remember thensong.
British grenadiers
@tamuska92 one person can >:(
isn't it spelled tokyo?
In other countries it's spelt tokio
In proper Japanese it's spelled Toukyou so you can get the kanji correct, but is most commonly romanized (put into US alphabet) as Tokyo, even with the proper spelling in the start of the video and spelled wrong in the title.... it beats me.
Billy Joel definitely past use by date

Glenn Rothkirch I mean, Billy’s good. But Elton is a better piano player, singer, and he’s better at writing music.

Jeff Brush They’re both amazing, can’t compare and say who’s better. But there was an article where billy said “Elton kicks my ass on a piano”
@@tribeman19 Modesty bordering on false modesty for fear of seeming arrogant.

Elton kinda looks like Harry Potter here
No both them are too much just bad very bad
some Guy Fuck You.
