Billy Joel - Pressure (Live from Long Island)

[@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

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

[@richardfurlott4243]

Most definitely !

[@clarkhull7546]

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)!

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

[@TheBoondoggler]

Yes!

[@withoutnic]

Amazing performance!

[@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.

Blown away by this version.. That drummer, that voice, those screams... AWESOME!

[@Rose-yj1bi]

Today I saw him at Madison Square Garden and even though he didn't sing this song (my favourite), he gave an EXCELLENT show. I came all the way from Chile to see him. I feel it was worthy ❤️

Billy Joel's first 8 albums are sick. The man is immensely talented. Just listen to Glass Houses and then Nylon Curtain. Incredible variety in his music.

[@Tolstoy111]

[@danman6123]

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.

[@neilmacpherson58]

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.

[@AntoineWG]

Pressure truly is a "sonic masterpiece", along with the rest of The Nylon Curtain.

[@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

[@Friarjohn1971]

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

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? 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
