RIP Toots The world lost another great.

Wow. That’s the best harmonica ever. Goosebumps every time I hear this song, especially when I hear the harmonica blazing in the background. This man plays with passion! All heart and soul! Wow. Just wow!!!!!

Soooo amazing Toots and Billy Joel. A great musician in gone. RIP TOOTS Danielle & Alain Brussels/ BELGIUM

A great performance by both men. Toots was so innovative.

Wow what a song.

TOOTS AT 90.......God bless our harmonica Legend..! love it!

Billy Joel is one of the greatest singers of all time and what a combination with this great musician!

Martin, we are. And some of us haven't forgotten

best harmonica ever! great song.

This is what you call music 🎶

Great song and performance. I'm a big fan of Billy Joel.

Absolutey fantastic

He's putting his heart and soul into this great!!! Jonchess

Oh I saw this when it premiered on MTV way back then. Back when they actually ran rock videos.

I had no idea this existed… great… saw toots last year at the Detroit Jazz Festival…still playing beautifully.

timeless

Truly amazing and epic all rolled into one...

love the song, love the performance, love billy!

Billy Joel is one of the best composer, singer artists of all time!

Super post. Never tire of hearing it through the years, whether on the radio, cd or watching it on the Concert video.Billy Joel and Mr Thielemans knocked this out of the park. I still get goose bumps when I see the hand signal/eye contact, between the two, at song's end. I knew nothing of Toots' musical resume until THIS evening. What a Monster(in the good sense).A contestant from AMER HAS TALENT mentions Larry Adler and I find out he ain't chopped liver either. We've bn blessed with 2 Monsters!

A great Billy Joel song featuring the late great Toots Thielemans. What a harmonica player and a top drawer musician.Toots was. Just love him to bits. RIP Toots.

My favorite Billy Joel song ever, so heartbreaking...

Billy Joel definetly one of my favorites...

As I've said Billy Joel's music is heaven sent this song is another of Joel's treasures from heaven

RIP Toots Thielemans. He would have been 100 today! 4/29/2022

Sometimes I think we all forget what and unbelievable Composer/Performer Billy Joel Is. And he's right about Mr. Thieleman just the Greatest.

Wow... that happened a year before I was born... I'm glad I still have the chance to see it.

that the difference between GOOD music and pop music. the good music isnt always popular for some reason

4th anniversary of Toots passing today. Honoring him with a listen.

two of my all time favourites together

What a sweet forgotten gem this is.

So glad you enjoyed this clip, its my favourite too. Billy was at the height of his powers here. I do wish he would make another pop album though, its 15 years since River of Dreams, but it probably never happen now thanks again Stewart

Travelling around the south of France in my dad's Vauxhall Cavalier in July 1985 listening to Billy Joel live at Wembley on a cassette is my absolute quintessential childhood memory. Tears to the eyes. Thankyou for posting this. The whole gig captures Billy' voice at it's absolute peak IMHO, just like Sprinsteen' work 1983-89.

I always loved this song, perhaps my most favorite Billy Joel song. and it was one of the the biggest inspirations to learn Harmonica

One of my most favorite songs ever!

This, my friends, is how harmonica is played.

what a beautifull song Billy !!! I coul listen to it a lots ... really I could keep listening all day long...

Saw this video right around the time "Leave A Tender Moment" was a hit in the summer of 1984 on "Friday Night Videos" and "New York Hot Tracks", the latter a local music video show and when I saw this video I was floored. Billy Joel was always a great musician, but Toots Thielemans added so much to this song. When I saw it again on KZread a couple of years ago I was again floored. RIP, Toots..

Me encanta esa cancion.

Fenomenali .... Piano Man il più versatile songwriter di tutti i tempi ... Qui al suo meglio .... Talento infinito in ogni tipo di musica

Wow!Wow!Wow!Amazing!

The Maestro Toots living the music!!!

Ive always thought this song was good, but This version is Amazing. I'm really impressed.

Incredible!

let me just say Billy Joel is truly a great singer as well as piano player

I SAW THEM TOGETHER AT MSG JUNE '84 AWESOME! RIP TOOTS!

You cant imagine how proud i am to be a Belgian.

Billy hit #27 in Billboard, 8-25-84. God bless you, hollpoll, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! Shalom, Billy (he's Jewish)!

@Oystercatcher011 It's actually from An Innocent Man - it was the fifth single released - only hit 27 on the US charts (the other singles - Uptown Girl - Tell Her About it - An Innocent man - The Longest Time - Keepin the Faith - all hit the top 20. This Night was the only single not to chart from that album.) Still that boggles the mind - six of the ten singles from Innocent Man hit the charts - can we say Billy Joel was a hit machine?

This is a prime example of a song with timeless appeal. The songs today ... not so much.

I will miss this great man!

Lovely to see Billy in his prime. One of the few songsters who stuck with his early work and hasn't ever tortured us with his 'new work'. Gotta see him live! (Mr Astley has done OK at it but don't think his back catalogue was as large)? Toots played on Tender Moment, Midnight Cowboy and the Muppets probably three of my favourites and testament that he could make it sound haunting, happy or harmonious. RiP

so so true

Billy hit #27 in Billboard, 8-25-84. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Billy!

OMG! I saw this when I was a student at the Univ. of South Carolina walking through the Russell House student union in 1985, and I thought this was so beautiful that this inspired me to run out and buy a harmonica the next . I was and still am in awe of this! Thanks to "Toots" and Billy, I've been playing ever since!

Fabulous concert I first saw on TV. The concert and songs, in my opinion, cemented Billy's stature in the UK. Toots was'nt bad either!! Great memories - thanks for the posting.

greetings from Iceland,love this as much as 30 eyars ago:)

I love this song.

I can see his suspenders under his shirt! Miss you Toots!

Billy Joel: An American Treasure.

Toots became 90 years old last week and is still performing!

ch93jones; possibly the best comment I've read on KZread. You are absolutely right. Gotye has a squillion hits already for ripping off a nursery rhyme. People haven't a clue

(a long time ago) I learned to play the harmonica (and forgot all about it since) because of Toots...

I think I like this version better than the recording!

They looked so young !! Wonderful posting, thanks !

Superbe tout simplement...

So true... Amazing song.

me too, its fantastic

@Goldenoldone Well put.

Ich liebe dieses Lied!

❤❤

spectacular

Best ever!

such class...

I had the full concert on video too but over time sadly the tape has 'moulded' beyond playback - wish they'd bought it out on DVD!! Anyway it was 1984 but I agree, a fabulous version of the song so thanks for uploading it. I've been looking for this for ages and it's the first time I've actually found it in a search. Amazing. :)

beautiful😂

nice!!

R.I.P. Toots

A real talented great musician...Love you Billy !!

Knew TT from.his work with Quincy, but I enjoy this song from.long ago and never knew who made this whistling

RIP Toot's

4:40 - 4:46!! classic!

The difference being, Billy Joel wrote most of his music, could play a piano and could sing. He was a real musician and not a manufactured one.

I remember recording this concert off Radio 2 onto cassette tape (my how times have changed) and never thought it was commercially available. By the look and sound, I suspect you recorded the simultaneous BBC2 TV transmission. Never heard a Billy concert bettered since. I remember it included a career topping version of Goodnight Saigon. Happy Days. Thanks for posting.

see you in heaven toots Rob Harty

Toots!
