And the drummer's baby is now 33 years old. God I miss the 80s!

No autotune needed

It shows the versatility of Billy Joel. Known forever as the Piano Man yet will blow you away going acapella.

he could make all kinds of music. very few, if any artist has had hits acapella style like the longest time. with a paino like paino man or synthpop style like we didn't start the fire. the man has had #1 hits in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. billy joel was the complete package.

That accent is awesome

4:00 Drummer singing along and he isn't even mic'd up. Gotta love it. Music like this is just so much fun to sing. The harmonies here are so amazing:)

....thirty years hasn't taken a THING from this.....

He does it all. Great entertainer, vocalist, writer, and Piano Man all in one.

The awesomeness meter is off the charts on this one..

Creative Lovely Talented

Here's a piece of trivia for you. The drummer's baby they refer to is actress Torrey DeVitto.

is it tori or toray?

Sheer pop genius. He went from singer/songwriter music to Tin Pan Alley/Broadway, classical, jazz, new wave rock to 50s doo wop. I don't care what the stinky critics say, Billy Joel is one of the masters of modern music.

The little rif he sings at 2:44 sounds like the intro to River of Dreams. Must have had that kicking in his head for a decade.

He has the best interaction with the audience out of any other group or artists and that speaks volume about his character.

the part where he acknowledged the birth of his drummer's child Amazing and sweet

Billy shows his roots

Billy Joel oozes class.

Im 18 but i love this song

That wonderful song is one of the most cheerful I've ever heard, that performance was incredible, and Billy Joel was just pure awesomeness at that time.

Pure talent. The harmonizing is beautiful. Billy is so cute here!

yes

Frank Zappa said that other than conducting an orchestra, singing barbershop was the most gratifying thing he had ever done. I can see the immediate pride four or five guys get from being so in sync. Just a btw, me reenacting the Uptown Girl video for my gramma is one of my most prized moments with her.

I miss harmonies like this in music today D:

real singers with real voices ! absolutely amazing :-)

This is incredibly beautiful ❤❤

Not all of it is terrible. Some of it is actually pretty damn good, you just have to look further than whatever they play on the radio.

Fantastic song one of his best

Love it very much BILLY JOEL!!!

Excellent :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

Crazy talented....great!!!

Amazing song!

Crazzzzzzy good performance!!!!!

This is what you call real music and singing. They don't use autotune it is just his natural singing voice

this is live... unbelievable!

I remember watching this live on the telly!

ONLY TWO WORDS: YES!!! AMEN!!!

Jesus it's sooooo good ! ! !

I was first introduced to Billy Joel when I picked up a vinyl recording entitled Glass Houses at the age of 10. It was my father's album at the time. I fell in love with his style and just now discovered his '84 concert tour on youtube. Billy Joel's work continues to amaze me 20 years after I first discovered his songs.

This remains one of my favourite songs, ever.

This is by far the best version i've heard. These are some talented musicians

Faith.....in.....humanity........RESTORED!!!!!

Quality, I miss it.

Reminds me of my childhood :)

This is really awesome!

I really love the blue Happi the guy standing in the left.

Beautiful song

I hear this on the radio all the time

i just watched that episode 5 minutes ago and immediately wanted to listen to this song *-*

Mrlifestylee, my hat is off to you!

I'm 14 and I listen to music from the 50s, 60s, and 80s more than anything else.

I think yes!

man I was only 2 years old lol

He sort of looks like Sylvester Stallone XD great musician though

Real music. Right. Here!

8 people will wait the longest time to understand good music.

hope is the only thing we got in that boat man ;)

nice...

80's... worst fashion, best music :)

WOW

wow.

This song must be famous...... Agree with it. I heard the Glee version and HIMYM and Family Guy. But Billy Joel as the original songmaker of this song, I praise him now.

Thanks to Himym for showing me tis awesome song :) great

*sigh..back when musicians could actually sing live

No, I do understand. I wasn't saying it was you that disliked it. I was just saying whoever disliked it probably disliked it because the song "For the Longest Time" didn't start until 2:53. They probably didn't take the time to listen that far into it, therefore never hearing the song and thinking the video was just a phony. When really, them themselves were just impatient. Wasn't trying to say it was you at all.

yeah me too

This is literally 1984

Oh my gosh yes thank you
