Billy Joel - I Go to Extremes (Live From The River Of Dreams Tour)

[@edkeene2759]

Playing in front of a huge crowd wearing bluejeans and a plain t shirt. No gimmick bullshit, just pure talent. All of today's wannabes should pay attention to this man. He has stayed true to himself and his music. One of the greatest. Thank you Mr. Joel

Playing with Hall & Oates and Billy Joel. What a legend

[@dantev1021]

DeVito was a man on a mission!! That guy was a beast, you just can enjoy the way he loves to play

[@Wizard-qh8ef]

On a mission to steal Joel’s money?

[@michaeltempleton7620]

@@Wizard-qh8ef watch Hired Gun. You will learn the real truth. Also read his book.

[@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro]

@@Wizard-qh8ef lmfao. Steal? He worked damn hard. And while he's no Terry Bozzio, he is a solid rock drummer. Billy arguably was not playing the band enough at this point and trust me there WERE Billy Joel fans who came to shows more to see and hear Liberty than anyone else. By the way, the two of them are on speaking terms now.

[@TarheelTad64]

Joel sued his former manager Frank Weber for $90 million in 1989 for fraud and breach of financial duty. Billy was married to Franks' sister so this was Billy's brother In-law None of this band was in on this

Well said! I completely agree… my dad got me onto him. I grew up in Long Island, New York. My dad is from Allentown Pennsylvania, and he shared a lot of history about it with me and when I heard Billy Joel wrote that song and heard the song. I hear it completely differently now.👍🏻

[@HennieBours]

What a drummer. I was (and still am) always a huge fan of Jef Porcaro but I like this drummer as well.

Bill is at the top of his game right here. And shout out----Tbone Wolk!!!!

T-Bone was such a great musician. John Oates said he was the most talented musician he ever worked with.

[@redsfan11larkin]

Tbone is the goat

[@bassmannausaugsburg]

At his peak on this tour. One of the best to do it.

[@NYVoice]

And T-Bone Wolk (1951-2010) on the bass and big black hat.

[@murarihr8793]

Billy Joels music sounds a lot better with Tbone on bass and Liberty on Drums

[@edgarviernes2532]

I remember learning to play the drums with this song....Time flies so fast...2022 and 46 years later I am still loving it!

[@ascendant95]

This is Billy Joel's best song.......................IMHO.

[@johnepants]

I always consider this tour to be the bridge between his insanely energetic 80’s concerts where he is constantly running around the stage all night, into the more subdued but still awesome shows that he puts on up to today.

[@davidclavers2435]

Billy Joël ❤ The maestro of the music Magistral Simply the best

[@Spot712]

T-Bone Wolk o tour with BillyJoel, what a bass player and talented in many other instruments as well. Loved his style of playing. He was entertaining to watch when he was tour with Hall & Oates.

[@MicheleD61]

Thank you! I thought I recognized him from Hall & Oates. I just found out (google) he passed in 2010. 😞

[@eddiemoney1093]

I saw him at the richfield colosseum on both this tour and the stormfront tour. Billy joel was the first concert I asked my mom to take me to. Looking back thirty years later i have to admire my own musical taste as a ten year old

Liberty was an amazing drummer and Billy Joel is incredible!!

[@rpoussard42]

This video almost always requires a second watch.I saw Billy in 2009 or possibly 2010 playinfh alongside Elton John at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. Holy sheet.......The energy they put into a show at the age they are at is amazing, shows younger guys how to truly entertain. Though I think there are finally some bands getting with it and pouring thier heart into the MUSIC. Its not about jumping around and trying to look cool, its about putting so much heart into a song that your veins are bulging out of our neck he whole song. Its losing yourself in the moment of completely putting every ounce into making the song being played a masterpiece. Bill Joel is definitely one of the top guys when it comes to doing just that, if you haven't been, even at his current age, well worth the price of admission. Edit: no dislikes yet on this video, it'd be blasphemy to rock n roll to dislike this. By the way, I am going to listento another song on here and then make it #3.

[@chrisdavenport6585]

Man his voice was absolutely peaked and at it's best! Billy is a strong baritenor and normally he has a distinctive bluesy growl in his phrasing but his his peak head voice tenor range was non stop that night.

[@puddin3543]

Went to his concert in 2019 in Texas at Rangers' Stadium and I can confirm that sitting on the keys is a habit when it comes to this song 😆

[@timtapscott8737]

Great Band !!!! I think this is one of my favorite tours to watch cause probably my favorite bass player of all time is on this tour T-bone Wolk . He is just killer !!! Which I love Leland Skylar also but two completely different styles of playing , but T-bone was just a beast, like on this song for example some of those bass lines & fills he throws in there are just insane but fit so well !! He died way way too soon!!!!
