Professional Footage

The famous "Tonight Connecticut" show; Billy and his band were recorded for a television special event as part of their Turnstiles tour. The quality of the footage is quite good, as is the audio, as these come from recent releases. The low quality video comes from the old 1977 VHS. This is currently all the existing footage of the show, but it is not the complete show.

It was worth the price of the ticket just to watch Liberty DeVitto.
I can't imagine a better drummer for Billy!!!
@@mjm5081he sure hasn’t found one
@@sambo5404 I'm not familiar with the drummers Billy has played with since Liberty. Obviously they're all pros and good or Billy wouldn't play with them. But there's just something about Liberty. The parts he created. The attitude he brings. Just perfect for Billy's music!!!

This was recorded at Connecticut College Palmer Auditorium in New London, CT. I have the original contract as I promoted the concert! A great early representation of a major artist! There will never be another like him.
Were both nights filmed?
I was there!! This was my college. He played 2 nights.
I caught the show when he played Bowling Green State U in Ohio the month before. Tremendous show!
This is a great performance from 45 years ago in Connecticut, as Billy had a great band onstage with him. Doug Stegmeyer, rest in peace.
Holy crap...1976? I hadn't even discovered Billy yet (I was born in 1965). This is the oldest live footage I've ever come across.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GENTLEMAN ON PIANO LIKE
MR.BILLY JOEL..
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
yes, this is true, an outstanding master
Has to be one of the earliest performances with Liberty, Javers, Cannata, and Doug.
Liberty in the back murdering the kit as usual
Have an autographed pair of Liberty DeVito drumsticks; one of the nicest people I've ever met.
He's so great!!!
俺が中1の頃かぁ聴き始めたのは中3やったなぁ
今度東京ドームで多分ラストコンサート…誰かここにあげてくれへんかな〜🤭
He used to play Angry Young Man with such a furious tempo. Fantastic.
You ain't lying, that's a hell of a way to start a show with your pants on fire.
How is it possible that so many great songs can come from the mind and heart of just one man?
Amazing footage of the early hungry years!!
And this is before The Stranger and Glass Houses (my two favorite of his albums along with Turnstiles but that had just come out)
He’s a national treasure. Elvis who?
For sure. There’s no one like him.
I think it's called a....genius.
HELL YES..
THANK ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nocturne is such a beautiful piece of music.
Which one? There's hundreds of Noctrines.
I’m new with bill Joel trying to discover his music
Absolutely fantastic
未来から約束された素晴らしい人BillieJoelleさんだと私は思います😊🌹素晴らしいです
It's cool to see Piano Man before he got tired of playing/singing it and let the audience sing the entire song.
Thanks Billy, four your músic, your touch, you are an artist!
His voice sounds great!
Jazz, folk…he can do it all. He’s a man of many voices besides his own. I can hear Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles. Not sure who the gravelly voice is. His songwriting is incomparable. Love him. Not sure if he loves himself and knows how special he is. He sure loves music.
Wow what a show! And the best hits were yet to come. Billy Joel we love you
Lui per me è il migliore in assoluto ..... STOP.
❤
I HEARD BRILLIANCE WHEN I HEARD HIM
LOVED MR.JOEL THEN..
When I was a kid, others were looking for handsome men groups..
Me Not..HEARD THE WORDS AND THEY SPOKE TO ME..
THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤
AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE HANDSOME GENTLEMAN ANYWAY
Thank you for posting this incredible performance.
holy shit i tried finding this everywhere
Thanks for this. He’s obviously massively talented, and I’ve been a fan for years, but Liberty’s stories in the doc “Hired Guns” about him has really shaded my opinion of him as a person. I was a young teenager when this concert happened, and ironically I’m from Allentown, PA. But I can’t deny that his music has brought me many hours of joy and for that I’m thankful. Seeing him here (especially after the recent release of the ‘Turn The Lights Back On’ video) is very moving.
can you expand on what you mean. I would love to know more about him. I cannot figure him out as a person.
Sensational!!! Billy Joel deserves recognition for his unusual talent! A musical genius!!!
“Summer, Highland Falls” and “Souvenir” from this show was released on the rare “Souvenir” LP from 1977.
Oh. Really? I did not know that. Is it on Spotify, or something like that?
Matthew - Billy Joel Bootlegs It was only released on vinyl. They’re on YT.
@@parsak.sadjadi3763Thanks.
観られてよかったです！
Billy in perfect voice, at the peak of his greatness.
fabulous show. point of interest -- I believe he repeats the 2nd verse of Piano Man, then switches to the 3rd midway thru. :)
Interesting version of Piano Man…left out the verse about Paul and Davey 😳. Thanks for posting this. So great. Started listening to him in high school right when this was recorded but didn’t see him until MSG in 2019. Would love to have seen him back in the day.
He wanted to have a hit so he had to make it fit.
Thanks so much for sharing!
🙏❤🌹 Doug 🌹❤🙏
please upload the original source of this and the old grey whistle test from 1978. I feel the audio of the restored clips is compressed and there is a huge volume gap between the two. you can hear this in all the gaps of the original source and the official clips. when the officially remastered it they dialed down the entertainer half way though and completely squashed the dynamics and made the song quieter. beautiful work with what you've done. it looks fantastic and sounds fantastic but i would love the original of both please :)
They just released 4 songs (ballad of Billy, summer highland, new york state and souvenir) from this on new digital only release 50 years of the piano man. Would love for them to release the full show if they have it...
WHAT a performance of NYSOM ! 😮 SO great !!!
As is the entire show...thank you so much for sharing this !!

Wow, thanks for this, have the same show on a crappy DVD I bought in the street 100 years ago but good to see it here!
Handball goes hard as fuck
The way I remember it they actually filmed three days. One was the live concert and the others were just two days of filming all the songs so they could use the best versions of them
I just realized that in 7:17 he was playing Mozart’s Piano sonata no 16.
Como era lindo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤pena que envelhecemos😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you also have the dec 6th performance also?? Great posting!
Thanks so much for sharing this. Also too, the Mexico City concert from the Storm Front tour in 1991 was recorded and broadcast live on TV. Not sure if you have that yet?
At the moment I don't think I have it. I should check if I have it. If I find it, rest assured that I will upload it to the channel!
@@MatthewBillyJoelBootlegs There's a snippet of the concert on a documentary too about Billy, so it's definitely out there. I was also told that some of the Australian concerts in 06 and 08 were recorded too. The official release of Christmas in Fallujah was from the last concert in Sydney.
Is the Mexico City show too?
I think his vocals got better with age but lower in range.
Kinda reminds me of the Live from MSG show where a few songs were just randomly cut. I wish we had a soundboard recording. Something tells me Ain't No Crime and or Weekend Song were played.
Regarding this show and also the MSG show, do you think Columbia Records (or whatever company) has the full shows in tact?
I think that yes, but it's rare. The HD release is EXACTLY the same as 1977, so, that's rare. Same edit, same songs, but the only think is that this is in HD. Maybe the soundboard is in somewhere, but this can be only recorded as a promo, like Sparks Club in 1981.
Meu amor😂❤
20:34 will never not be funny to me
7:17 I really want to learn this on piano so bad.
I love the sound of the piano here. Does anyone know what kind it is?
i think he played a bechstein.he also used the same piano in the old grey whistle, the keyboard was a memorymoog. He later used baldwin grands, and later used steinways. yes, his early pianos were awesome
@@katiegrundle9900 there is something about it though. you can hear it very loud and clear in his solos, especially at 26:07 when he rolls down. it has sort of tone to it and i cannot put my finger on it. it could also just be a recording thing, but i feel like that is unlikely. thanks
Yamaha 25:16
The live Angry Young Man version from the Kohuept album sounds more powerful
BENDICIONES AL NIÑO FEDERICO SI VIVE AHORA SI LO MATO SU HERODES TIA ME LO COMENTEN
❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
He cut a verse in Piano Man, wonder if that was an accident
It's possible it was for time as the show was being taped. Just a theory.
@@bradfordlangston836 sounds about right if this was a made for cable/TV concert
