Billy Joel - Prelude / Angry Young Man (from A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia)

Billy Joel "Prelude/Angry Young Man" live from A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia
Listen to Billy Joel: billyjoel.lnk....
In the summer of 1987, Billy Joel accepted the Kremlin’s invitation to the U.S.S.R. for six fully-staged rock shows in Moscow and Leningrad, fulfilling a longtime desire to perform in Russia and permanently affecting the spirit of the country ahead of the Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991.

Lyrics:
There's a place in the world for the angry young man
With his working class ties and his radical plans
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl
He's always at home with his back to the wall
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
And he likes to be known as the angry young man
Give a moment or two to the angry young man
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand
He's been stabbed in the back, he's been misunderstood
It's a comfort to know his intentions are good
And he sits in a room with a lock on the door
With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
And he likes to be known as the angry young man
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too
I had my pointless point of view
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right
And there's always a place for the angry young man
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand
And he's never been able to learn from mistakes
So he can't understand why his heart always breaks
But his honor is pure and his courage as well
And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man
There's a place in the world for the angry young man
With his working class ties and his radical plans
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl
He's always at home with his back to the wall
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
And he likes to be known as the angry young man

The first rock concert I went to.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Дмитрий Гербольдт Me too - same tour, but in Birmingham, England

[@ДмитрийГербольдт]

And I went in 1987, when he came to us in Leningrad.

He had a sore throat during the recording of this. He still sounds amazing What a talent!

.....and a bandaid on his finger😁😁

[@ericostling4727]

I watched the video they were trying to interview him and he said the more I talk the worse the concert will be

[@gr8maker]

This was Billy in his prime years. Only saw him once during the Storm Front Tour, so glad I got to see such talent

[@waltermameli2026]

In 1987 The Russian Government invited Billy Joel and his band to come and perform.....he accepted and the rest is history.....my favorite part of all the videos from the six shows is Liberty DeVitto on drums.....without his backbeat Billy's music would not have been the same.....What a great Rock Drummer, amazing musician.....

[@robertkysilka3216]

Billy rocks and Liberty rolls

there is nowhere near enough of Liberty on camera in this video. his drum playing is amazing!

He carried this damn concert!

[@robertmayer2071]

lib rocks just seen him last week

[@danielluera3583]

It took me a whole year to learn that song when I was 19. I learned every Billy Joel song back then but that one took me a year. Never took a lesson of piano in my life till I saw his first concert in 85 in Oakland California. Plus I got to meet Christie Brinkley. Was the best night of my life. Thanks to my good friend that took me. I was sitting right behind him in the 5th row from the stage. He was the one that got me playing the piano. Plus I did a lot of Elton John also. They were my 2 favorite bands.

[@lynnobrienbrokergri2343]

[@micahj894]

Damn his band was tight! It is amazing to think this is a a live performance! Every player is right on, and Billy Joel is so damn great!

[@BigPapa0610]

Could not have done it without Liberty on the drums!

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@BigPapa0610 Liberty is great but this is a Billy Joel concert, not a Liberty DeVitto one. The rest of Billy's band back then were great too but without Billy's songwriting, none of them would have anything to play here and some of them are still making a career and a living from playing Billy's songs.

[@m4cik41]

That little "meh, it couldn't be that great" at 4:39 😄

The Brilliant Billy Joel, seen him live more times than most people have hot dinners. Love this guy!

Monster drumming.

[@Shlockrock1]

My first Billy Joel concert was June 1978 at Madison Square Garden. It was unbelievable. All the videos you put up are just amazing! Thanks!

[@fifi3649]

Few things are as satisfying as watching Billy Joel's hands playing this song on the piano

[@leokimvideo]

I never understood why Billy dumped this drummer.

[@michaeltempleton7620]

I KNOW

[@RicksMusic34]

The drummer was Liberty DeVitto. There was a rumor about him that he said "Would have called for a dismissal from the band" but he had never heard the rumor before so he couldn't defend himself. Since then they are on better terms. That was in the late 90s early 2000s. They worked together for 30 years.

[@_Hoagie]

Possibly because Liberty is a very high energy drummer who likes to push tempos, but with Billy getting up in age, he would prefer a slower pace that doesn't use as much energy to play.

[@RicksMusic34]

@@_Hoagie maybe that too but I think it was maybe more serious judging by the interviews and articles.

[@danger2374]

Worst mistake he ever made. I stopped seeing Billy live once he dropped Liberty

[@hmorris]

Amazing quality

Billy is fabulous still. The man has enormous talent. He's a living legend

[@luismiguelfqpinto]

One linguiring question- How is this picture quality even possible for an 80's concert? This looks like high def. Most concerts where shot on video. But even if this was shot on film you would expect some aging. The picture quality is beyond me. No grain, no shimering. Just amazing.

[@aaronsibley]

theres algorithms and automatic grain remover programs and all kind of stuff that fixes that

[@BenjiDarius]

This concert looks better than MJ's 1992 Bucharest concert

[@howtodoitdude1662]

Simon Hodgetts, he’s not fast enough to do this!

[@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro]

Yeah two different ways of playing piano. Elton's arguably is better for solo shows.

[@garethharrison5797]

It's hard to say who is the better pianist as Elton John never plays anything beyond accompaniment. Trust me though, he can - he went to the Royal College of Music at a very young age. That is a big thing amongst musicians here in the UK. He must have been a seriously good player. My money would be on Billy Joel for what it's worth. However, the idea that Elton John couldn't play this is preposterous. It's a show piece and looks really impressive but it isn't hard to play at all. I could play this when I was 14 and I was worlds away from the Royal College of Music.

[@BenjiDarius]

@@garethharrison5797 He does a lot of solos, or Funeral For A Friend. Many of his songs include him having some melodies
