[@kenhargreaves1018]

Nailed it.....Showoffs!!!...... There's nothing you guys and gals can't do!!!

[@lindabergman3127]

Yes they nailed it 😂❤again greatest tribute to another great Singer musician🎉

[@JesusVerdugo-ge6lh]

[@davidwright2379]

Simply awesome 👌

[@Prof_Jeff]

I've been a Billy Joel fan since I was a kid. This is by far the best cover of this song I've ever seen. The backing vocalists nailed their part.

[@chrisr194]

Man, I REALLY hope there is more Billy Joel coming.

[@gorangogomisicsstreetofdre890]

I think Billy would give a double thumbs up. Great job LLB 😎👍👍

[@kpete9219]

My nephew’s favorite song. He passed away from MS a few years ago. Thanks for another masterpiece!

[@user-sr1ki6dq2r]

It's a nostalgic song. I'm glad it's reproduced perfectly

[@jimratliff2753]

It's not often in this world that we can have a consensus. But guess what folks? We got one here! There simply is no better cover band on the internet or KZbin than LLB.

Actually, words are superfluous, but this band is the best cover band in the world. What musicians and what voices. And thanks to Billy Joel for a great song. Nobody makes music like that today. Greetings from Sweden

[@J3unG]

You haven't seen Band Geeks from Staten Island, NY or the REO Bros from the Philippines. These guys are fine. They're a great band but nowhere near the technical prowess of the Geeks or the deep energy and joy of the Reos. Check them out, you'll see. LLB is great though...just not the best. Nowhere near.

[@classicaustralianmusicandf7425]

Also Hindley Street Country Club, all great talents. well done Lex Lab

[@Stanley_Furley]

Dude on bass did a masterful job!!

[@greenzombie77]

MAN!!! Once again, the bass player is killing it! Love all you guys, every one of you guys is amazing and skilled. But the sound and feel of the drums and bass are killer. Thanks!

[@drummer3249]

They say legends never die, with this band, music of past and present will always be remembered and never forgotten Thank you from all of us 🙏

[@jimmywesterfield2279]

As a former musician myself, These Guys/Gals never dissapoint, and as usual, They nailed it again! YES!

[@barneshomestead1240]

Solid cover

[@williambrewer2526]

I remember that being the opening song for the tv show Bosom Buddies.Thanks for another great performance.

[@kbusby4824]

Indeed.

[@williambrewer2526]

@@kbusby4824Tom Hanks and Peter S.Made that show

[@teedee3879]

ANOTHER fantastic cover! My favorite thing about LLB is that they all look just like the rest of us- no pretentious rock star stuff- just very solid and skillful performances!

[@danjimmie0704]

Amazing tribute to the incomparable, Billy Joel!! Cheers!!

[@garyc39]

I bought 52 street album back in 78.Great job

[@gregholloway2656]

Great job, LLB, I always enjoy Billy Joel! Maybe Allentown one day? 👍

[@oldblue5891]

Excellent job! My favorite cover band! Keep up the good work!

[@zekrk504]

Another LLB great, from one of the Greats!! Thank You All!!

[@irontiger8882]

That's my jam, that's my jam!!! I'm tearing the knob off the stereo 🎶 L.L.B. always plays the hits🎸😎

[@barbaracornett4030]

Just as good as Billy Joel singing it..❤❤

[@goaski474]

Brings me back to Long Island, cruising to the beach with the top down and listening to Billy. You all are top notch! How about 'Scenes from an Italian Restaurant'? That will bring back memories!!!! We'll leave it there.....

[@michaelharvey7613]

Thank you so very much. God bless you all.

[@kevinrieplmusic]

more Billy Joel please! So damn good. Impressive as always. Love you guys

[@Mike990920]

Those women sing like angels!!

[@bruschmidt9943]

I've officially become a big Fan of Benji Maurer. He keeps getting better as we go ✅ This performance was like a trip back in time to the late 1970s. Day'em ❤

[@MrBillmechanic]

Absolutely brilliant work! Great vocal fillins. Billy Joel is a true master and LLB has done him justice.

[@chriscline5824]

Much better having more of the original LLB members back! Great job!

[@keithp5669]

We need this right now!! Keeping me sane in these upside down times. Thank you!!

[@ischmidt]

So good. I love how Benji had all the nuances of Billy Joel's vocal performance without just blindly imitating him. And super tight playing by everyone else, too. Billy's band really does make it sound easy when it's not, and so does LLB!

[@pedraw]

Complete pros. I love the concept of this band.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Another FABULOUS LLB job!!! Thnx guys n gals! YOU ROCK IT!!!

[@tokugawa12able]

Yeah, Randy!!!! And Ryan, you killed it, right in step with Randy. And ladies, Billy Joel wrote those backup parts just for YOU!!!!!!!

[@jamesford9562]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[@MattFreestone]

Another amazing performance!

[@turdoirishman]

Purfect👏👏👏

[@ericeller9165]

That's spot on 😁

[@OldCanadianguy953]

Well done!

[@kandkmotorsports]

I never realized how complicated this song was, quite a few layers and changing beat patterns and no where for the singer to hide. Fantastic job LLB!! Thanks!!! Hope I get to see you live someday

[@JD-md7ng]

Wonderful .. thanks ❤

[@thomask.bataille]

Perfect rendition of a classic tune. Very well done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@garymitchell8394]

Awesome talent from you guys....come to UK 🇬🇧 You'd be most welcome 🙏

[@nigelcs9856]

Lead singer Benji and the LLB musicians did a great job to remind us how great an artist and songwriter Billy Joel is. This is absolutely top-notch !

[@emilianoantena203]

very good ,,from Argentine !!! congratulations .

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Sensational cover of a classic Billy Joel song.

[@YBNegative]

Perfect! Benji is awesome and the only one of this particular set I havent yet met. Gonna try to get there again this year!

[@istemihanvarisli]

So beautiful :) Thank you all.

[@blucy10]

I don’t usually comment on the instrumentation, but I swear I never heard a 12 string in the song before. Now I won’t miss it!

[@Bodyknock]

Sweet, gotta love Billy Joel! Here's hoping for Angry Young Man or Italian Restaurant! 😄

[@mariomoreira5823]

❤ INSANELY BEAUTIFUL ❤

[@shanebarber9330]

That deserves a standing ovation!!! You guys nailed it....AGAIN. Thank you!!

[@ohcanada7838]

#1 Cover Band by far. No words

[@resipsaloquitur854]

I've long since run out of superlatives to describe the quality of performances by this project. LLB is always outstanding, and this is no exception. Instruments, harmony vocals.....amazing. The standout here though has to be Benji's breathtaking lead. Well done, as always , everyone, and thanks for everything you do!

[@ikechristoffel3675]

What a band you are and you just nailed this song! Greetz from The Netherlands!!

[@Alaska_Engineer]

Absolutely awesome!

[@kotogray8335]

Billy Joel is one of those people that just gets it. Lyrics that defy the age at which the person wrote them. Such an amzing artist and fellow. Thanks for the reminder!

[@shahwhaever]

Holy cow LLB - amazing job! I encourage everyone to listen with headphones to really hear the nuances in Randy’s bass part. Doug Stegmeyer would be proud.

[@brianrobbins1379]

Simply awesome!

[@bobberndt9744]

Running out of compliments for your authentic presentations of our memories. 👍👌👍

[@musicman257]

They nailed another classic singer sounds alot like Billy joel

[@sdanjohn]

Everyone is nails but I don’t think the drummer gets enough accolades. Always just spot on.

[@steven_scattergood]

This took me back to the time it was first released in Australia and I started daydreaming that is just how great this is. Time travel is real with you guys. Amazing.👌☮️

[@allanl2606]

Pure enjoyment listening to anything from LLB

[@d-not_telling]

Another great job on this. Thank you for all the great music.

[@davelohrmann2607]

Fantastic as always! Please, do more Billy Joel.

[@bobgregoryvb]

OMG....had to come back and listen again!!!! Add this to the live show setlist PUHLEEZE!!! Live show 9/1 in Lexington, KY for those that may not know....Link is in vid description above!!!! See you there!!!

[@dalevoyles]

Amazing job. Really excellent. But it also showcases how insanely talented Billy Joel is with his breath control singing and playing. His diaphragm projection is next level

[@aurelius1964]

Beauty! These covers really give a fresh look at the amazing composition and song wtriting techniques in these wonderful old hits. A vanishing art.

[@naknaksdadn572]

Beautiful!!!

[@johngray6277]

Spot on as always.! Carry on!

[@robertwalker7063]

I had never picked up on how intricate the bass is in this song until now. Nice how the bass was mixed here. And awesome job Randy!

[@user-kc6in2kc3f]

Nice job again!! Every song you talented group of guys and ladies put out is AWESOME!! Keep them coming!!

[@dannyholder9452]

GREAT JOB LLB! NEVER DISAPPOINTED!!! PEACE FROM SHELBYVILLE TENNESSEE!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Great job, LLB! Took me right back to 1978! 52nd Street was a treat! Man, what a time for great music that was! I miss it!

[@WiggyWigmoreUK]

once again, you knock it out of the park! fantastic performance of a belting song !!!

[@NorCalPhil]

Amazing job as always! Jessica, Katie and Mike sound great on backing. Another 100/10!

[@imspartacvs]

Another fine installment from LLB Thanks for sharing Matt Hudson Valley, NY

[@charlieharpman2107]

Hey Mike and everyone LLB!! One of my favourite artists!!! Such an awesome cover!! You all did an amazing job covering this song!! 🎶🎉 love the camera work!!

[@larryk5541]

I must of heard that song a thousand times and I've memorized all the little bells and whistles and flourishes that Joel does in his recording including the bass line and the piano hits. You guys do him justice with your take even if you don't hit them all. I like that. Why make an exact dupe. You've done My Life LLB style honoring the original but putting your stamp on it. Props to Benji for a great job!

[@moparedtn]

Wonderful. Props to the LLB rhythm section as always (Randy!) as well as to Austin. Nailed that thang! - Ed on the Ridge

[@gregelliott5066]

Perfection by all gr8 job. Love it.👍

[@3rdRockRider]

Your vid was posted a day before I see Billy Joel live for my first time! Can't wait!

[@VroodenTheGreat]

"That was pretty good, we'll come back to it." - Eric Clapton after they absolutely NAILED a song

[@Homesteading-A-Z]

I have listened to everything you have done.... not a bad song in the entire batch! Of course, some I prefer over others because of my musical tastes, but musically every one of them are incredible. What a great gathering of musicians, singers, crew!

[@georgemichael7178]

Another LLB home run Great job, can’t wait until September

[@advantagesmallengineservic71]

Love it! I’m running out of things to say! Please keep them coming. Every song helps me get through the day!

[@jairojosecastillo2703]

Excellent Guys, wonderful interpretation

[@nestorbertolas6438]

Excellent cover!!! 👏👏👏

[@jradford2001]

Such joy to see the artists enjoying themselves

[@bubola59]

Flawless!!! I am smiling ear to ear!!! Great cover!!!

[@ThePwest17]

Guys I follow 3 cover bands and yall simply top the list consistently. Love this song and y’all’s version.

[@Velvetnos]

Bossum Buddies

[@KevinJStoll]

Great job guys !!! Made a classic your own ! Billy would be proud. Now do "Honesty" that one means a lot to me personally. Thanks again for such a wonderful tune. Peace and love to you all !

[@RubenPutteet-wm4wm]

This is so freaking good. Billy Joel had some great songs and this song was one of the best. You guys absolutely nailed this one. I am a huge Benji fan and he is really killing it. He is incredible. And Jessica and Katie are amazing together. Everyone of you are sensational. It’s such a pleasure to watch and listen to you guys and gals. I have never seen a band that is so smooth and so spot on as you are. Every song you do is a masterpiece. I have listened to this four times today and I’m going for five. Thank you LLB for giving us all something to keep us smiling and jamming during these crazy times of the world. Please do more Billy Joel 😊😊😊

[@larrymarkusson2228]

Good job guys. I always love your stuff.

[@scottmcdonaldAAL211]

Exquisite rendition that exceeds the original by quite a margin. Captivatingly good production values - stellar percussion (Ryan/Randy) feat. incredible lead and backing vocals by one and all, those keyboard(s) were yaya - in short, your 'typical' LLB effort - the definition of perfection! I am a huge fan of this band. Austin is a force of nature on the synth and Vandy... what can I say? Heart and soul of this troop!

[@2151abell]

Loved it.... Thank you Billy.... I mean LLB... opps I couldnt tell the differance 🙂

[@daveonline127]

Just Fabulous Guys n Gals. Special mention. Randy is really driving this. A super well done. 😀👍

[@felinemad]

Absolutely amazing, what an excellent job. Bravo guys. 👏🏻🙌🏻🎸🥁🎤😃
