So satisfying. So beautiful. So artistic. So funny. So he's a genius...I guess some people don't realize that...even people in the audience. But...he will live on into the future of music.

[@maureensorrell3729]

when I was younger and heard his song "short people" on the radio, I remember thinking it was about discrimination of adults who weren't tall....I was so dumb.

[@ulpana]

Hope you are wrong, Jake, about RN being a "genius." Geniuses don't seem to end well. May Randy & fam remain dead and not knowing it! What rapport here with choral audience.

[@SilentSolvent]

so glad Randy was out there leading the charge against short people. God bless him

[@nathanreiber6819]

"There's people talking over and joking all over my music throughout the whole movie." Still got it, Randy.

[@BartMassee]

brilliant

[@TheZachjad]

Just a man and his Piano. Pure Talent. Randy is an absolute legend.

[@ankapleune]

Mooi het lied I miss you. Al zo vaak gehoord, gezongen zelfs in de tijd dat mijn lief uit onze tijd weg vloog naar de sterren 🎉

[@BartMassee]

I grew up listening to these albums, my Dad being a big fan. Still have the Vinyl in my house. and they get played at Newyears parties. Its engrained in our DNA, we love you Randy

[@MaureenHynes-o7p]

Lovely to hear. I was about 22 when I was introduced and listened with a lot of inspiration from drugs. lol such a genius and I love Harry Nilsson too~

[@raycurryjr1925]

Randy Newman don't give a flip!🤣🤣🤣 "This is a song I wrote to my first wife while I was married to the second"

[@maurogiachero2563]

Wow, I was there for the concert in Stuttgart! What a great memory! Randy Newman is a real genius

[@ulpana]

Puh-leaze. Anything but a genius! He's fine as a piano plunkin' song-maker. Tio Mitchito

[@manalishifilms]

Oh...man,he opens with the legendary classic from the 1970s... 👍🍺💗

[@timoraymo]

It’s so sad how little this audience gets him. He deserves so much more.

[@zetetick395]

I think they're digging it, they're just Germans is all ;P

[@RobertSeviour1]

This is Germans at their wildest - unihibited, frenzied enthusiasm. Contrast this with audiences in Latin countries.

[@bobbypins1743]

They strike me as very politely listening to the music, seems like an ideal audience for a guy solo at the piano as opposed to a rock band. From my perspective, an ideal audience to be in if I got to see Newman

[@DevInvest]

“Line Wagner, or Mahler,,, but shittier, you know, because I don’t have that kind of talent.” Yes, yes you do - “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” -saved me many times

[@paulgush]

40:23 The best rendition of Dixie Flyer I've heard by Randy Newman. The drums, bass and guitar fills on the studio version are nice, but sadly I can't overlook the cheesy synthesized trumpet. But here the strength of the song and his piano playing really shine through!

[@loonggoonedaddy]

You should check the version from Letterman show. A true perfection!

[@deshstan]

god damn, this man is a pure gem

[@lucakawailua7761]

j'adore cela me ramène à mon enfance. Grand Monsieur !

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Randy Neuman: exquisite songs and lyrics, cosmic sense of the humerous. Thank You!

[@dhsumana407]

A strong touch of the American Genius and Spirit - a great gift to the universe - thankyou

[@africalisa]

Ahhhh, still so absolutely fantastic!!

[@polmileti9905]

Un artista immenso!!!

[@RickarooCarew]

thanks for sharing 😊... Randy Newman... maestro... a guru worth listening to... thanks again Peace ✌️

[@hongseoryoo3486]

So beautiful and engaging... I couldn't get my eyes off the monitor the whole time.

[@carolynknight1520]

A musical treasure is he.

[@johndance1362]

Thanks for this! I wish you and yours a very healthy and Happy Thanksgiving!😹

[@DevInvest]

Who remembers “Short People” on the radio when it came out.

[@ankapleune]

Good morning ❤

[@codyguindon2090]

un-be-lievable

[@wesleurs]

Thanks a lot for the upload!

[@luciennedorrestein9615]

I wish I was there

[@klausheckendorf649]

"This is a song about a murderer." Yes - though not really about the murderer he describes in the song, but a different one. Clever, horiffic and hauntingly beautiful.

[@schnirzelzwirn]

8 I'm dead: The great Ed Bickert was an exception to the rule. He stopped playing the guitar in 2000 and never touched it again until his death in 2019. However, he was a jazz musician and not a rock&roll guy.

[@aresee8208]

Randy can be very American specific which would make him a bit inscrutable to a foreign audience.

[@AzuSophie]

he's very popular in the Netherlands actually! his albums got gold over there

[@jude999]

42:11 Car Talk theme music

[@uglyinthemud]

gawddamn!!

[@guitarristapedro]

he subtly loosing the tempo intentionally on 24:50 really got me

[@marcelsmit8789]

11 thumps up ??

[@raycurryjr1925]

Randy Newman, don't give a flip!!!🤣🤣🤣 It's a red bandanna 🤣🤣🤣

[@raycurryjr1925]

Randy Newman don't give a flip!!!🤣🤣🤣 kill everybody 🤣

[@georgecook3691]

Eine ziemliche Wiedergabeliste für ein deutsches Publikum.

[@ameerordimly1449]

Hey Remus! Song list is fine but not much help without timestamps.

[@jhlee4159]

12:15

[@stenkjellin7816]

Leona?

[@spitfirestake54]

He has to be from the South somewhere. Let me do some research

[@userslickcrownvic]

LA born & raised but spent time in New Orleans as child. Many of his songs are semi-autobiographical.

[@TheDizzleHawke]

12:50 the joke goes r/wooosh on the audience.

[@milesfromneworleans]

I wonder what his second wife said about "I Miss You".

[@brendanmoran2597]

Notice how Randy Newman doesn't mention Elton John. Elton John is the most amazing LIVE SOLO PIANIST, next to Liberace. Search "Elton John Solo" to see. Marty Sammon is the best Blues Pianist I've ever seen in person.

[@thelevisullivan]

Elton and Randy have worked together before. Check the soundtrack version of It’s Tough to Be a God from The Road to El Dorado.
