I can't help but to cry while listening to this song. It reminds me of how fast life passes you by. I was twenty just yesterday. Now I'm 78, with one foot in the grave. I, too, am from the NYC area, including Hicksville and the Village Green-area. A great song for the ages.
I feel your emotions. I only heard this version last year on the radio. It was 9am February 13th 2021 and my husband and I were on our way to his sister's house to join family (during covid restrictions) to wait for the hearse carrying his 53 year old sister and take her to her funeral. We looked at each other and wept. I held my husband's hand and said we need to be strong for the rest of the family now. 💜
I know how you feel. Im 45, and like has gone by so fast. I feel like 70 is just around the corner if make it that far. I can't believe how fast it all went.
Still kicking, old timer? I’m just messing with you. Hell, your generation has thick skin. You’ll be alright. Perhaps you’d like to spark my curiosity? Probably not but it’s worth a shot. I’d like to ask you a question, if I may. Well, a few questions actually. What are your current thoughts/feelings towards death? How have those feelings changed throughout your life? Are you at peace with it? Thanks in advance if you choose to entertain my morbid curiosity. Now for some context. I’m a 33 year old man who’s had my feelings towards death change drastically over the three decades I’ve been around. I won’t lie. Death used to terrify me as a child. Even as I grew older, I would find myself having anxiety over the thought of my own demise. It was a fear that I’m sure every human being that’s ever walked the Earth has felt. The fear of the unknown. Over the past five or so years my views have changed. I feel that I’ll be much more receptive, even welcoming. I feel as though I’ll be at peace when the day comes. If you’ve made it this far I thank you for your time. Please, only answer my questions if doing so will not upset you in any way. Again, thank you 🙏 Raise a glass to your good health! May you live to be 100, my friend!
Hello There, Billy would approve of my cover then, Because there are NO SCREW UPS, But don't just take my word for it, If you could spare some time and go and have a listen to my cover of this great song on my channel, That Would Be Great, Many Thanks, STAY FRIENDLY ; 0 )
I went to a billy joel concert in the nineties, he sang the first few lines of the opening song and hardly sang the rest of the night cuz the audience of about 15,000 drowned him out singing along and they knew every word of every song by heart!! Incredible really, ive never seen another concert like that before or since.
Elton is a classic, he makes a big mistake and just plays through. This is a sign of a real pro musician. They don't get phased by losing track of where there at and recover like champions.
@@marktobin8144 he missed his entrance on the line "I have squandered my resistance" so Art paused and they got back in time with barely a pause. It's my favorite version of the song.
Little known fact about this performance that I only know because I was there... But when Elton messed up the last verse and they ended.. Jay Leno came out and said "Elton wants to do that one more time..." And then he went on to say how this never happens because everything is filmed live. So we got to hear it AGAIN! But apparently they ended up using the first take anyway! lol Glad we got to hear it twice though!!!
4:16 Elton John: It's nine o clock on a Saturday and the regular crowd shuffles in, and the manager says. It's me you've been coming to see so forget about life for a while. Billy Joel: ok...
Although I have seen Billy Joel 6 times (the last time at Hyde Park on 7th July 2023) and I have seen Elton 3 times, the concert tour with them both performing together at Wembley’s old stadium was my biggest disappointment as Billy was unwell and had to pull out on the day. Fortunately the night was saved by a tremendous virtuoso performance by Elton who carried the whole night by playing both his own and Billy’s songs. Quite a few people in the queue turned and left but he was amazing and did everyone who stayed proud, especially when he moved everyone from the cheaper seats to the nearer rows. Billy is a great performer but on that night Elton played his heart out and really win my respect!
@@valentinacardile4771 Don’t make it sound so mediocre lol. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. There’s a reason I know Billy Joel and not the musician you mentioned. So he must be doing something right.
Bennato appena passabile .... Anche nei testi Joel è fenomenale : Summer Highland Falls... Honesty .... Shades of Grey.... Vienna ... River of a Dreams ... Ecc ecc ecc
Shows that Elton John is a true pianist and professional, to be able to play another person's song, in pitch as the person who wrote and sung it (Joel), even though he sings in a completely different pitch normally. I would never thought of this being played as a straight duet on two pianos; and the fact that they are different pianos and be able to keep to each others time and pitch. True musicianship and rare to see.
Its nine o'clock on a saturday and the regular crowd shuffles in And the manager he says is me youve been coming to see to forget about life for a while :D
There was a time when I thought Billy Joel was Elton John's successor. I didn't know there was such a great collaboration. You can get a kick out of their singing voice. Thank you for the precious video.
The brilliance of Elton John is supplemented by the brilliant lyrics of Bernie Taupin. Billy Joel writes the music and the lyrics. So many fantastic songs from both camps to last us all a lifetime.
Imagine if new artists today were this good. Even with all the tech stuff out there now, you still can't replace genuine talent. Well, I guess real talent never needed help.
Honestly it just shows that these two awesome legends are truly singing and playing here. No lip syncing, no just going through the motions. Just two amazing talents displaying their gifts. Truly badass in my opinion
Queen, Elton and Billy Joel are all my favourite!! Although Billy is probably my favourite just because his music helped me through a tough time in life.
I remember hearing this song on the radio back in '74 I think it was. Heard it many times since. Many times at concerts including Hartford with Elton John. I guess that was 2002. Now I am the old man at the bar making love to his tonic and gin. From young to old, Billy Joel has always been there for me.
It's 2023 and I could watch these two play piano and hopefully will until the day I die they are such a great musicians. I'm definitely partial to the piano as I took classical lessons since I was five I could actually read music before I could read
3:32 Holy schnikes!!! I fell out of my chair hearing and seeing that!! That is 100% raw piano talent right there. I don't know if even Stevie Wonder could accomplish that.
George vanderByl I think Stevie wonder is a great comparison because it was almost as good as him, but nowhere close to Bach even though I’m sure billy could play Bach
marco brenni How would you define McCartney in this group? With Chuck Berry being the 'Father of Rock N Roll' and Elvis being the 'King of Rock N Roll' where do we put Sir Paul? I've always thought a Ringo as the 'Clown Jewel'.
Giulia Ramirez Good one Giulia! I've seen Paul McCartney three times over the course of 23 years and it's noteworthy that his act hasn't change much but I always feel I get my monies' worth. I paid $600 for 2 tickets for the May 26th, 2013 show in Memphis, TN (USA) and it was worth every penny. I've never seen so many white people in one place. lol
Elton John did an excellent job getting back on measure after his repeat. Doing that without freezing up is impressive considering he had to mash words together to catch back up.
I've always enjoyed this song, but both Elton John and Billy Joel together?? Absolutely stunning! Don't think I've had ever goosebumps like I got from this duo. 2 fabulous performers. Thank you, gentlemen! ❤
I've always hoped that Billy Joel and Elton John had collaborated at some point. I don't know why, but I've never gotten around to checking until now. It's great seeing two legends singing together and having a great time.

They’re both the reason I started playing piano when I was 11 and it’s been 11 years later and they still inspire me and bring me joy. Two wonderful legends.
Two of the BEST piano players of our generation. Look at the skill concentration required too play both the piano and harmonica at the same time plus some singing REAL SKILL!!!!
They did this live in Croke Park in front of 88,000 Irish Fans who did all the Harmonies and I swear the Rain Stopped and the Sun started shining at 9PM in Dublin ... This is the way things are and should be. x I will die happy, I was there 😀

Well, I'm 25 and can say, this is music. Thats exactly how to touch the Soul. Sad to see that this times are over...at least it seems like. I would love to see them live together
I remember hearing this played at the end of the jay Leno show in the 90's. I was amazed how well they sounded together. The talents of these 2 entertainers is awesomesome.
I love this! I remember listening to “Piano Man” on the radio in 1977 while prepping cabbage for coleslaw before the restaurant opened for the evening.

WOW I can't believe I never knew about this version! what an amazing performance even with Elton messing up at the end! what a pro just keep playing the show must go on! Jay was right it doesn't get much better than this! Billy Joel and Elton John playing one of Billy's greatest songs! fucking awesome!
I had not seen this performance before and WOWOWOWOW!!! what a great combination!!! Even with Elton's goof, it was still a stellar performance!!! Thanks for sharing!
These two gentlemen, legends, have long had the greatest backup bands and orchestras in the industry.. always magic, the music. What a brew, these two. Wow!
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: billyjoel00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
Seeing them perform this, and all their other tunes, back to back....at a live concert...was just mind-blowing. The entire audience sang along with every single tune both of them played. A truly highlight of my concert life...starting in 1961, age 14.

I can't help but to cry while listening to this song. It reminds me of how fast life passes you by. I was twenty just yesterday. Now I'm 78, with one foot in the grave. I, too, am from the NYC area, including Hicksville and the Village Green-area. A great song for the ages.
This song truly is a masterpiece. You may think you have one foot in the grave, but who knows, maybe you still got 20yrs left on you

dji zzah wish I was there :(
Never got to see him live but I'd imagine that's how it'd be.
I recorded a bootleg of the Billy Joel + Elton John concert, much the same. Audience drowning out the actual performers half the time!
A lot of people don't realize how good they both are on piano. They make it look easy.
Elton is a classic, he makes a big mistake and just plays through. This is a sign of a real pro musician. They don't get phased by losing track of where there at and recover like champions.
Hello Leo! love your vids!
One of the best mistakes ever along with Paul Simon's mistake in The Boxer during the concert in Central Park.
What mistake
@@marktobin8144 he missed his entrance on the line "I have squandered my resistance" so Art paused and they got back in time with barely a pause. It's my favorite version of the song.
Elton is a champion, and an incomparable. I LOVE Billy Joel, but however Elton sings it is now the best version of your song.
Little known fact about this performance that I only know because I was there... But when Elton messed up the last verse and they ended.. Jay Leno came out and said "Elton wants to do that one more time..." And then he went on to say how this never happens because everything is filmed live. So we got to hear it AGAIN!

3.6--not great, not terrible
mark lowrie.....nah still like the original....better
You can tell Elton is enjoying every minute of singing Piano Man. Love it.
After years of only performing the same songs night after night, I'm sure he was happy to play something different for a change. 😏
Everyone's here talking about Elton messing up a verse while I'm over here admiring Billy's epic piano solo at (3:31).
FACTS! He really SNAPPED . 🔥🔥👏🏾
These 2 artists were my inspiration to play the piano and sing, and do it well.
I really hoped they would have extended the solo so Elton john could have done it as well :( that was awesome
My favorite performance of this solo is from Tokyo, 2006 - czcams.com/video/7pF04BaF9SQ/video.html

This may have been the last time Billy sang this song in the original key. Brings back great memories.
He sang it in the original key until 2003 or sometime after.

Sounds like an amazing time that you will never forget.😊
Playing the harmonica and piano at the same time!! Such a talented man!! ❤ Billy Joel.
Eh capirai non è l unico. Guarda Edoardo Bennato. Suona anche la cassa col piede insieme,(per non parlar dei testi)
@@valentinacardile4771 Don’t make it sound so mediocre lol. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. There’s a reason I know Billy Joel and not the musician you mentioned. So he must be doing something right.
Harmonica on it’s own is incredibly difficult to learn. Add vocals and a piano? Yea, it’s hard. Takes years of practice to sound like this.
Si ma Bennato è scarso ... Non è certo un musicista come Billy o Elton ...
Bennato appena passabile .... Anche nei testi Joel è fenomenale : Summer Highland Falls... Honesty .... Shades of Grey.... Vienna ... River of a Dreams ... Ecc ecc ecc
The way Billy Joel responded to Elton's forgetting the last verse xD "OK?"
it was a joke, he changed the words on purpose
@@alisa818 ok
I just love Elton's mistake ... makes every one smile with them
I like how even though Elton messes up near the end, they both laugh about rather than get mad
Shows that Elton John is a true pianist and professional, to be able to play another person's song, in pitch as the person who wrote and sung it (Joel), even though he sings in a completely different pitch normally.
I would never thought of this being played as a straight duet on two pianos; and the fact that they are different pianos and be able to keep to each others time and pitch.
True musicianship and rare to see.
Monsters of rock!
they were awesome both times i saw them touring together.
Elton sang the second half of the verses in a higher octave than the original. I guess it was too low for him.
Its nine o'clock on a saturday and the regular crowd shuffles in
And the manager he says is me youve been coming to see to forget about life for a while :D
Even Elton John did mistake
Yeah he knew he fucked that all up. Lol
And Billy Joel just goes "...okay..."
There was a time when I thought Billy Joel was Elton John's successor.
I didn't know there was such a great collaboration.
You can get a kick out of their singing voice.
Thank you for the precious video.
how did i just find this??? this is amazing
right on! same here!!!

One of the perks of listening to good music.
Yes!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest songs of all time, performed by two of the greatest to ever do it. Tears man. Fucking tears. Wish this still existed today..
Great but not quite as mind blowing as the Martyn Joseph cover
@@kirstynewton6367 maybe try to enjoy life without comparing anything with everything.
The brilliance of Elton John is supplemented by the brilliant lyrics of Bernie Taupin. Billy Joel writes the music and the lyrics. So many fantastic songs from both camps to last us all a lifetime.
The two of them together. It was the best concert ever. They sang together, sang the other's songs and then solos.
Elton John and Billy Joel singing piano man, no words invented to explain....
Dude if you do see this you are so right and if you have never listed to rocket man go right now

Two true legends who have more talent than most of the "singers" that are around nowadays. What a treat to listen to.

@@morgenher Good one. I remember they did Your Song on the concert for 911
They do a lot of each others songs together until 'Billy' got butt hurt over 'Elton's' comment on 'Joel' no longer recording new music!

They did multiple tours.
I like how the song both references a john and a bill

Now I am the old man at the bar making love to his tonic and gin. From young to old, Billy Joel has always been there for me.
Some people are in your life for a long time, even though you never met them personally.
It's 2023 and I could watch these two play piano and hopefully will until the day I die they are such a great musicians. I'm definitely partial to the piano as I took classical lessons since I was five I could actually read music before I could read
One of the best versions I've ever heard.
3:32 Holy schnikes!!! I fell out of my chair hearing and seeing that!! That is 100% raw piano talent right there. I don't know if even Stevie Wonder could accomplish that.
Stevie wonder is not the best pianist to be comparing to, neither of them come close (or care of coming close) to a top professional pianist
George vanderByl I think Stevie wonder is a great comparison because it was almost as good as him, but nowhere close to Bach even though I’m sure billy could play Bach
Welsh tv did a great documentary on Billy Joel and his musician/composer father. Worth a search
This makes me want an album by Billy joel of all elton John covers and an elton john album that's all billy joel songs
These two people Elton and Billy are legends,they will never die.
If they would die one day
Their candle would burn out long before their legend ever will.
I just had an eargasm listening to this!
I did too!
TMI
I had an orgasm and damn it, now I gotta change my drawers
TMI Bro! LOL
Sir Elton and John and Billy Joel.... LEGENDS....
They look like they are having so much fun together.
It don't get no better than those two icons!
Elton John is a rocker; Billy Joel, a super-rocker.
Both are great !!
marco brenni How would you define McCartney in this group? With Chuck Berry being the 'Father of Rock N Roll' and Elvis being the 'King of Rock N Roll' where do we put Sir Paul? I've always thought a Ringo as the 'Clown Jewel'.
GTown Dave In my opinion it's not necessary at all to qualify everyone: if the result is , good : OK !

Brings me so much joy 😂
Elton John did an excellent job getting back on measure after his repeat. Doing that without freezing up is impressive considering he had to mash words together to catch back up.
Definitely a sign of a pro. Laughed it off and kept going on with a great performance
Playing harmonica, piano and singing co-vocals takes real talent,
Elton John, Billy Joel, AND Jay Leno in one show? Best event in tv history?
Elton John, Billy Joel, BUT Jay Leno*
I'll let Elton John fuck up my song any time.
Jim Bennett I know this comment was written 3 years ago and all but same.
He really didn't fuck it up.
Saw Elton and Billy Joel multiple times. Both great live performers.

Beginning in 1994, Elton John toured extensively with Billy Joel on a series of Face to Face tours, making them the longest running and most successful concert tandem in pop music history.[1] During these shows, the two have played their own songs, each other's songs and performed duets.
@@ashrimpcalledhank you got the year wrong. It was more like 2000 (or around the time of this performance). That's when I saw the 2 together.
@TinaJ4 Face to Face tour 1994 to 2010. As well I believe they are currently on another Face 2 Face this year and the next.
Saw them both in concert together in 94, & it was EPIC! GOOSEBUMPS rn!😊
They’re both the reason I started playing piano when I was 11 and it’s been 11 years later and they still inspire me and bring me joy. Two wonderful legends.
Two of the BEST piano players of our generation. Look at the skill concentration required too play both the piano and harmonica at the same time plus some singing REAL SKILL!!!!

This song is gonna get me through the rest of 2020
@Nathan Burnam good xx

Two of the best! What a performance! Even with the mistakes.
I want someone to look at me the same way that billy and Elton look at each other
Eltons messed up verse is basically what goes through my head whenever there’s a song stuck in my head for a few hours
Billy Joel’s song Piano Man will be legendary for all time. The lyrics themselves are poetry perfection!!
I was able to see their tour 2 times. I still have great feelings from them. Two masters.

This song will be an historical document for future generations. We all deserve songwriters to record the reality of life in our times so sincerely.
Epic performance by both of them ... Live on Elton and Billy !!!

Jay Leno must have been just awestruck by the dual star power of Elton & Billy!
Two geniuses meet, true perfection
Elton screwed up
Piano man and rocket man, what a pair of legends.
Two piano legends performing together. A single studio cannot handle their power all at once.
powerful duo for a masterpiece
" Wonderfully done : Big fan for as long as i remember " ❤ 💙 ♥, 🎉🎉🎉🎉
love how Elton never tries to outshine a performer on stage even though he could destroy anyone he's ever performed with
Billy is better in every way but they’re both goats
Well, I'm 25 and can say, this is music. Thats exactly how to touch the Soul. Sad to see that this times are over...at least it seems like. I would love to see them live together
I remember hearing this played at the end of the jay Leno show in the 90's. I was amazed how well they sounded together. The talents of these 2 entertainers is awesomesome.
❤Love these guys.Billy and Elton I could listen to them all day long. They are amazing
I love this!
I remember listening to “Piano Man” on the radio in 1977 while prepping cabbage for coleslaw before the restaurant opened for the evening.
This is an iconic performance!! Still give me chills

WOW I can't believe I never knew about this version! what an amazing performance even with Elton messing up at the end! what a pro just keep playing the show must go on! Jay was right it doesn't get much better than this! Billy Joel and Elton John playing one of Billy's greatest songs! fucking awesome!
This is the most obvious iconic duo ever and it makes me wish Leonard Cohen and Warren Zevon sang "My Shit's Fucked Up" together!
You know you've become a legend when Elton John covers your music
One of the best songs to ever be performed
Two greatest piano men ever
Love this!!!!! Billy ioel and Elton John sing so awesome together. Love them both.
I hope you enjoy your moment with me ? you can communicate freely with me here is you dnt mind. billjoelcrew@gmail.com
It's a really good song. Also this combo is amazing.
This is two men who know their craft, and can work together and not try to compete with each other, and create something magical
Two of the greatest coming together
I am a fan of both Elton John and Billy Joel, and this video makes me smile.
A wonderful combination!
Yall sound perfect together!❤
doesn't get any better than this...
I really wish they'd mend their fences and go out on tour together again. Two greats who obviously play so well together.
I had not seen this performance before and WOWOWOWOW!!! what a great combination!!! Even with Elton's goof, it was still a stellar performance!!! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic. One of the great lyrical masterpieces written by Billy Joel beautifully sung here with the incomparable Elton.
It is astounding. That way that Elton John makes this song his own. It is astounding
Is it astounding though?
These guys got popular before I was even born, but they are so amazing I wish I was born sooner.
Just a thought....There will never be talent like this again... That is the reality folks. This is special.
These two gentlemen, legends, have long had the greatest backup bands and orchestras in the industry.. always magic, the music. What a brew, these two. Wow!
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: billyjoel00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
Grew up listening to these icons. Still absolutely amazing.
Seeing them perform this, and all their other tunes, back to back....at a live concert...was just mind-blowing. The entire audience sang along with every single tune both of them played. A truly highlight of my concert life...starting in 1961, age 14.
