Brian Aglira - "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" Solo Billy Joel Cover

Here is one of Brian doing one of the 500 or so cover tunes that he can pull out at any time. Brian's ability to flow with ease from his rich vocal ability, incredible piano chops to searing guitar leads is second to none! Brian is an accomplished singer and songwriter. Brian is able to perform with a full band in MANY capacities and is also well known for his solo act that incorporates his singing, piano playing, guitar work and he is even known to pull out a Ukulele on occasion! Versatility is one of Brian's trademarks!

Now watch this: Not a perfect piano player or singer yet this is one of my fav covers of Billy's masterpiece. The guy is real. It's like a construction worker comes in for a beer sits down and does a damn good job on the keys. Boos walks over and offers him a gig. Good show young man.

[@HotVidMan]

The scary thing about Brian is, piano is his second instrument! You should see what he can do with a guitar in his hands!

[@wadewade8521]

Great job! Btw that's a seriously uncomfortable and uncool group of groupies in the crowd.

[@rotemv12345]

One of the best covers I've ever seen on KZbin

[@cheiapete1]

I'm speechless. Thanks for inspiring me to do my own all piano cover of this, but it will never be as amazing as yours. Thanks for the smile & inspiration.

[@MrTargetU]

Bad ass dude. Sorry for the crowd haha

[@720zone]

Man...this guy is so good....even plays the crazy sax and guitar parts on guitar...and he sounds like billy....outstanding.

[@fallenangelz85]

How has this been on youtube for over a year and only received a couple thousand views? Very talented performer!

[@HotVidMan]

Phew! Now I will be able to sleep tonight! Man, what a long hard night it was last night thinking that everyone hated me. I had the gun in my mouth and all, ready to end it . . . just then I saw your post and figured I would soldier on. Close one for sure! It is a hard lonely life behind the camera. ;-)

[@crismatheson6187]

Deserves an audience...let's hope his originals get airplay

[@jives44]

this is a fantastic cover! you nailed the piano and the vocals! wow!

[@Puckanm]

What a master of his craft God Bless!

[@daze_jamz]

Soooo awesome. I love the middle part so much

[@gravitymediapro]

So good! You brought a fresh spin on a beloved classic.

[@gwsharkj]

Good God man. Amazing talent. Absolutely phenomenal cover.

[@tugginalong]

[@culturematters4157]

Excellent rendition. Thanks

[@feiny5008]

Are you kidding me? BRILLIANT!!!!

[@1nfinite972]

im thrilled to see the audience sing along, this is truely one of the greatest songs ever written and it should be more widely known...btw im only 16 and i pride myself in knowing every word to this, along with all the other songs off The Stranger..long live REAL MUSIC

[@Advent3546]

Dude. Teach me.

[@bign00bs]

make sure their drinks are full

[@HotVidMan]

Boy, I couldn't agree more with these comments! I wonder all the time why Brian is not on a national tour! He plays guitar like a real master (these videos don't even come CLOSE to showing you that side of his abilities), keyboards like he was born on one, Sings great, writes great songs and so much more! Then we have Justin Beaver on our TVs. Go figure!

[@emiliocruzrestrepo8734]

HotVidMan OMG self advertising!

[@ausmoore53190]

Please never stop doing why you do, I am stunned! Amazing!

[@LEBRON8895]

Great job

[@joelweisberg]

I've always liked your cover very much Brian. Damn good work.

[@DesertKnight99]

[@911loveyou]

I think I'm in love!

[@flduayen]

Awesome, good cover!!!

[@sigspearthumb2313]

Incredible man.

[@KevinLetourneau88]

Wow! Absolutely fantastic!!! Well done!

[@crosnecgrotrian]

This cover is unique

[@thicknick27]

[@jranner]

rockin it brah. good to see a young dude giving the classics some love!

[@Baru1994]

Hey man This is such a great cover. You certainly have the talents to become big one day but I think you're doing way better just like this. Real. Music.

[@StewartPowell]

Brilliant cover! Well done!!

[@tucctucc6214]

[@Deathwish4life420]

Yes. Hell yeah. Bam!

[@johnfitzgerald1957]

Holy Shit!!!

[@ausmoore53190]

Wow. I'm not going to hit caps lock and frivolously type misunderstood shit here. however, I'll do better- Dude you have such an amazing gift, like my god champ this is absolutely phenomenal, my words are meaningless/ unfit to describe the magnitude of your talent. never in my life have I seen someone play and sing this song effortlessly something you have clearly shown. I'm confused why this video hasn't been recognized or viewed so much more than this.

[@mohamadjuju9087]

Waoww 😍

[@juliealbrightmoon]

Awesome man. Inspiring

[@joethackray5818]

Quality

[@sirdaveo]

[@Michaeldergara]

[@johnnypavel7675]

Where does he play ?

[@matttegeler2000]

Can you still be hired to perform?

[@HotVidMan]

Hi, This is actually my page, the videographer that shot the footage you're talking about. However, you can find Brian Aglira on Facebook and if you have no luck doing that, get back to me and I'll hook you up with him. He may not see your comment here.

[@milanetc4865]

Guy is crying at 0.44 at the beauty of the song

[@mariapuente7521]

NI CE

[@HotVidMan]

Sorry back at ya! Brian would be above this, but I am certainly not. As he is not the one putting these videos up here, I AM, and being the dictator that I am, I choose to delete your comment. Of course, being a musician myself, I always like to ask people that leave comments such as this to put up or shut up. Where is your killer version?

[@BreadandFaxes]

guy at :57 is like, wat is billy joel

[@KimcheeRacing]

Most of the crowd doesn't appreciate talent.

[@timhalstead9790]

lot better than I can play it

[@Ropeadopeya]

That must have felt good.

[@HotVidMan]

I am just misunderstood. Maybe not EVERYONE hates me. :-(

[@milanetc4865]

3.40 the girlfriend realizes she can never compete with her boyfriend's love of the song

[@dbay2012]

I hope golf shirt and tan girl are still together

[@Lokh66]

MySpace lol

[@juliealbrightmoon]

Ok, not everyone!

[@juliealbrightmoon]

Everyone hates the cameraman!

[@peterscottjr]

This guy is now 10 years older, bet he has kids by now

[@HotVidMan]

Ha, no kids that I know of, maybe none that Brian knows of either! He certainly is 10 years better though!!! He is a freaking MONSTER on keys and guitar (actually his native instrument).

[@dmcatakedownstrikeonsmilingdog]

Best Billy Joel cover that I have found so far on my search. Not bad. Piano playing is good and vocals are fine most of the way through.

[@willritter4076]

If you're interested in Billy Joel solo covers, please take a look at my acoustic piano & vocal versions of Allentown and Vienna, which you can find by clicking on my page. Thanks.

[@mickeypunz]

Great job!

[@flduayen]

Awesome, good cover!!!
