Lyrics:
You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure
You're just like everybody else
Pressure
You've only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure
You used to call me paranoid
Pressure
But even you can not avoid
Pressure
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
All grown up and no place to go
Psych 1, Psych 2
What do you know?
All your life is Channel 13
Sesame Street
What does it mean?
I'll tell you what it means
Pressure
Pressure
Don't ask for help
You're all alone
Pressure
You'll have to answer
To your own
Pressure
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure
Pressure
All your life is Time magazine
I read it too
What does it mean?
Pressure
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
Pressure, pressure
One, two, three, four
Pressure

That piano riff is by far one of the most catchy and addicting melodies I've ever heard.

[@richardfurlott4243]

Most definitely !

[@seemslegit8858]

When the boys are back

[@dipsydoodle7988]

What a freaking tight band. Drummer is a beast and I don't even know what to say about Billy. Makes me proud to be a Long Islander who essentially was brought up on IV doses of this man's iconic music. I feel lucky.

[@Bluewater3272]

That's Liberty DeVito. I recommend you search for his interviews here on good 'ole KZbin

This sounds like something a mad scientist would create. And yet brilliant.

[@jorgeaguirre9217]

I agree.

[@AntoineWG]

I never realized it but I think that's why I've always loved this song since I was about 8 years old.

[@davidwolff8903]

Better than brilliant

[@willdwyer6782]

The russian folk inspired synth riff is iconic. Five years after this song was released, Billy toured the USSR.

[@robertbuth]

Do you know what the Russian folk riff is?

[@suchyjaszczur]

i wouldn't say it is inspired by russian folk but still this riff is great for me.

[@jbjacobs9514]

I guess that is why I relate to it so much! I never knew why (must be my ancestry calling - LOL)!

[@productreviews701]

@@suchyjaszczur yeah it definitely doesnt sound american, my first thought was italian for some reason lol

[@TheBoondoggler]

Yes!

[@Scrimlip]

Did y'all notice the "staged" attack in the bottom left corner at 1:43, when he sings about being paranoid?

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

I was really wondering wtf that was lol. Couldn't tell if it was part of the act or just a sound tech adjusting equipment.

[@thomasnelson5758]

Also Mark Rivera swinging a baseball bat at 3:17 when he sings the baseball lines (in the ninth, two men out and three men on). Definitely part of the act. Little details like that I didn't even notice the first hundred times I watched, and I've seen this concert so many times

[@leokimvideo]

The piano must be foot powered. Billy's pumping it to give it power.

[@jamesrogala]

It's an electric piano. That's the sustain pedal he's using - holds notes.

[@willdwyer6782]

It's a player piano. You got to pump the pedals to make it work. 🤣

[@willdwyer6782]

@@jamesrogala since it's the only pedal under the piano, it's definitely a sustain pedal, but effect pedals like chorus, distortion, etc. aren't just for guitars. They work on any amplified instrument.

The stranger

[@suchyjaszczur]

he's very potent musician and he had few very known hits like uptown girl

[@jesse-ll3dh]

The Greatest Hits from 1973-1985 is my favorite CD. I play it Alot.

[@subject_9875]

The variety of styles between his songs is crazy. I can't think of any other group that does this. It's hard to believe this is the same guy that did "Uptown Girl" and "It's still Rock and Roll to me"

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

Bowie. Prince. Stevie Wonder. Hall & Oates.

[@xiomara9464]

Me gusta mucho esa canción, por su sonoridad ❤

[@leeharland5173]

It's crazy to see him unable to walk straight down the cat walk. Steps up to the piano and doesn't miss a SINGLE NOTE. He deserves his success and legacy.

This song and performances says everything about why Billy Joel is an unrecognised genius. Perfect in all ways ..melodic, meaning, original, very musical, great lyrics ...what's not to like??

[@wherearetheavocadfos8038]

Unrecognized? He's a legend bro.

[@Lolbama2012]

Ah yes. Nothing says unrecognized like Billy Joel. Literally nobody has even heard of him before the Boys. Gosh, thank god there's people like you who can help popularize these super obscure artists like the completely unheard of Billy Joel. Definitely doesn't still have an impact on pop-culture because, as you said, he's unrecognized.

To Billy and the the band: Thank you for the great songwriting and live music over the years. You guys really rocked our world. PS - from a fellow small-town Long Island kid, [now a bit older, but still rockin’].

[@timmmahhhh]

To think at the time of this concert (Nov 1982) that this was one of the new songs. I feel he was at the height of his career and songwriting with The Nylon Curtain and in a podcast hosted by Alec Baldwin Billy stated that Curtain is his favorite album too.

[@HiEverybody]

timmmahhhh yea. The curtain is amazing. My personal fav is the stranger but I do really love songs like goodnight Saigon, pressure, and Allentown which obviously are all on curtain

No. I was there and can be seen in many shots so I have followed it closely. It did come out on VHS in the day. I lost mine. BUT it did come out on an early DVD alternative CEDS. Similar to the old laserdisc. I bought one off Ebay years ago thinking it was a DVD. It's the size of an album and I can't get it to fit in my DVD player. ;-)
