WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?!??! These kids in a DRIVEWAY did a dead ass note perfect cover of Scenes?!?!

[@mxgeller]

Exact same thought. Pressed on the vid on my feed thinking “yeah, this could be close” or whatever. Full-blown note perfect cover. Mind blown

[@hamelk]

@@mxgeller same!!😆

[@tjbowler471]

No they didn’t.

[@jerbear7952]

True but better than you ​@@tjbowler471

[@trevormurray8092]

I love the shit you stumble upon when you go down a KZbin rabbit hole on a saturday night after a few drinks. This is incredible.

[@artielundberg7125]

I found it Sunday morning with a cup a coffee. I must be older. 😂😂😂

[@ezradowen]

Wow. So raw. So good. Love how the dude on the sax just casually walks up and kills it.

[@metfish]

Was he in the witness protection program?

[@Daron-Novotny]

This is probably the best cover version of this song I've ever heard!!! It's not an easy song to play. GREAT JOB TO THE ENTIRE BAND!!!!!!

[@mxgeller]

Could be the best note-for-note cover of any song I’ve ever heard. And in someone’s front yard no less...

[@Daron-Novotny]

@@mxgeller absolutely! I could not agree with you more.

[@vygh9920]

why doesnt this have like a million views what a sound

[@jurgostuff]

Probably the shaky camera.

[@TOMandDOMvideo]

probably bc nowadays if it isnt a tiktok song, pop song, or hiphop/rap song, people think its bad music

[@TOMandDOMvideo]

and also these artists are unknown to most people my age unfortunately (im 23) id be lucky if 5 other students in my classes knew who billy joel was 😂

[@em_ily2780]

It is VERY rare to see a Billy song covered so well. Saxophone player - you are some talent, kid! Lead singer - beautiful voice. All the guys playing their instruments have raw talent and did such and incredible job. And girl on the far left we see you - you did great, haha! Very awesome cover and so cool to see such young musicians do a legend like Billy justice. Terrific song and terrific talent! More covers like this please!

[@berniecosta348]

As an old musician and a huge Billy Joel fan, I have to say this is the best cover I've ever heard. I love the attention to detail and technique. You can't argue with musicianship like this. Hats off to you guys and gal for brightening up the day for all your neighbors and of course, us on KZbin. Outrageously good performance and in a driveway no less.

[@rickyvaughn2868]

The drummers timing is impeccable. This is an easy song to lose the timing on with so many tempo changes. Great job man

[@melliott2075]

it’s awesome to see gen z appreciate the good music still :)

[@wepopcreative]

Brilliant performance, and stoked to see Billy Joel’s stuff being revisited these days. Reminds the world how wonderful a songwriter he is 😊

[@mikeburton8878]

If I had two more arms I would give you 4 thumbs up👍👍👍👍

[@janhaanstra2245]

Wow! The lead singer and pianistis great, the drummer and the bassplayer are a real team, the saxofonist has a real nice tone and phrasing, the horns really bring it to life! Just wow! I've played / sung this song and it's a pretty hard one. Good job, everyone❤

[@johnfitzgerald1957]

Holy Shit is all I can say. Phenomenal!!!

[@StevenLantz]

How does this only have 35k views. This is a-effing-mazing!

[@user-lv1fy5hi2q]

hello this is japan! Vocal,piano,horn, i feel your band playing very nice compare billy joel's one. I love all of your sounds.😮

[@user-wx9ky9lr1y]

🎉🎉so good especially the sax 🎷 guy! ❤

[@mattyk19751]

I need kids like this in my neighborhood/ driveway! You rocked it out!!!

[@markmontaquila3098]

Great job guys!! Great to see young folks NAIL this one. We do it at all of our gigs. Always a crowd pleaser

[@davidgrason161]

Here's a scenario: My band gets invited to a Battle of the Bands. My band members and I spend hours getting our equipment set up and the sound dialed in. Then, during the battle, this band comes on right before it's our turn. They play this song. I tell my band members, "Ah Hell! Let's pack up and go home guys." I mean SERIOUSLY! This song is really, really, ambitious and you guys absolutely KILLED IT! BTW, can we steal that man on sax?😃

[@EllieThomasMusic]

Especially to still have the showman style of enjoying yourself and not looking like you are fully focusing on your instrument, they aren't just performing, they are having a f-cking good time!

[@jarmond1]

Completely impressed by these kids. WOW. You guys absolutely KILLED this (very tough) song. Perfection. Bravo!

[@drjazz7278]

best cover a fabulous song, and a fabulously difficult song to perform

[@briandavies1809]

I’m over 80 living in Australia & this is the best cover I ‘ve ever heard, well done to you guys, really enjoyable.👍👍👍

[@dansfilms7901]

I've attempted Italian restaurant myself on piano and gave up not to far in, it's such a difficult so massive props to this very talented guy especially being that he's singing aswell as performing it perfectly note for note, you get a like from me guys, keep it up

[@user-qh3xz9cs9y]

Ok. I'm not usually a comment person. But sweet Jesus! All of you nailed this. Simply wonderful. Keep at it you have bright futures ahead with whatever you pursue. Thanks for the entertainment and smiles.

[@audikris]

WHAT???? Amazing!!!! This song is like 3 or more songs in one. You nailed each perfectly. Amazing!!!

[@iansimons5553]

A masterpiece, masterfully performed. Well done to the whole ensemble .

[@mattparker2323]

This is fabulous. I'll put this cover right up there with Michael Cavanaugh's version. This song is harder than hell to play on the piano and you nailed it! Great vocals too. Love the horns too.

[@ttocselbag5054]

The light reflection from the garage door, completely blew out (opaqued) the face of the brother on the sax!

[@twwtjohns]

Great vocals and every member of the band was awesome. The horn arrangement was excellent.

[@jefferylee1507]

Would live to live in that neighborhood . Block the street and have a party!!!

[@kdonoghue]

The music will continue with kids like this carrying the torch, thank you!

[@realmichaelberlin]

Wow this is one of the best covers I’ve ever heard of any song

[@donaldandbecki]

My man on Sax is killing it

[@joey1127]

Holy crap! You guys are freaking AWESOME! I think Mr. Joel would be very humbled by this performance!

[@mom3grammy4]

I viewed this for the first time tonight 1/2024. Amazing. I sincerely hope their music journey(s) are ongoing. Obv😮there is a lot of talent there❤

[@StevenLantz]

Keep pushing you are all amazing. I have heard a lot of covers in my life and played in a couple of bands. I have never heard such passion, tribute and intention in a cover, all the while showcasing your own exceptional talents!

[@DougGilliland]

This absolutely made my day! Thank you so much for posting. What a fantastic job!

[@DKgrimm78]

I wish I was your neighbors. Well done.

[@BeatlesJunkee]

These young folks are very talented musicians. They have that WOW! factor.

[@Magpie-bd4ry]

Wow,, why hasn't more people watched this, absolutely stunning version of one of my favorite artists the great billy joel

[@artielundberg7125]

Nicely, nicely done. I have many good to more than decent covers of this song-this one was excellent. Played with great energy and tight. No faking way through the tough parts to avoid a potential train wreck. In fact this is closer to the studio version than Billy even does these day. Tempo was really strong too! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Nortonius_]

This is either the best SFaIR cover ever, or AI perfected. Kudos either way 🎉💪🏾🤘🏾

[@tomvance8522]

Excellent work and hats off to your engineer/mixer. Really nice work!

[@krismystery]

That guys vocal control is really.... really good.

[@beatleskid4138]

this is the most perfect cover ive ever seen of this song. u guys r insane. the whole band killed it.this band is so underated ima show this to everyone i know

[@sarac.3259]

This just appeared today - and wow! Astonishingly good! Being a huge Billy Joel fan, I know every word and love this song. It doesn't matter how often I hear it. You did yourselves proud. Every person excelled themselves. Thank you. I can only imagine how awesome it must have been to watch you in person! Best wishes from across the pond in London UK.

[@louderthanlife]

HOLY SHIZZZZZZZ! Bang on job, guys and gals. No easy feat.

[@heatherross928]

Great cover

[@vivaldihk]

[@MikeRockmaker]

You rocket it and great audio tech. Top notch - well done and looking forward to your own music. Start writing and get a song done in one week that's new using everyone in this video. Tell a story, and you'll do great. Great music separation! All about audio... Congratulations!

[@harleyhillgang]

New Sub here! Rob this cover is amazing!!! You hit it out of the park...all your band mates showed up and you give this Billy joel song justice! Well Done!!!

[@thebarnetts7195]

What? OMG! Fricken Fantastic!!

[@stevefiorey630]

As the rest of the comments said... you guys absolutely killed that song... and as professionally as I've heard it done. Very impressive

[@jellybean8167]

Hey Pal, That was exeptional, totaly unbelievable that you guys can make that sound on the street. I am in shock!

[@jonathangwynne1917]

Well done kids!

[@stevenoates1094]

That maybe the best cover I’ve ever listened too. Wow!!! Great job!!!!

[@hammondjones9484]

Holy Crap, this is really good for a bunch of kids!

[@FrankLeePlaying]

Even though there's a garage in the background, this ain't no garage band! Excellent work!

[@annnonymous952]

This is like the South Shore of Boston in 1984. They covered Aerosmith and no real band had a singer who could not hit the real notes in "Dream On." It was a high bar.

[@jeffreydlazar]

Absolutely spectacular

[@willdobson6091]

Every person in the band is holding up their part. Love to see it. Keep it going young lads.

[@boltonc3339]

One of the best covers of any song ever..

[@witchdoctorblues1009]

Absolutely nailing it

[@jamesgreer5116]

I'm gonna be repetitive... How the hell does this clip not have like a million views? Solid. Totally solid.

This is the best cover I've seen, it needs more hits. Beautiful performance.

[@tourist54]

Unbelievable ! A perfect performance that deserved 5k audience at least, not those 50-80.. Congrats to all (singer!) , but the sax-player needs a special recognition. Such a great BJ cover band 👏👏👏😊

[@chefmattmeighen497]

#billlyjoel Have you seen this? These guys are amazing.
