This is awesome.

This guy asks Billy if he can play with him during a Q&A and Billy says ok. He then proceeds to blow everybody away.

Billie Joel plays it very gently...

Of course he was. He wasn't playing to fulfill a boyhood dream. He was auditioning for you watching this vid. A great backup musician knows how to follow to make the front man look good. Billy Joel was a good sport and let him show out. His chops are good but he hasn't learned how to put some soul into it yet. He'll get there. It takes a lot of guts to do it and not choke. Props to him.

Well put. I was thinking the same thing. Billy gave him his room to shine. Class act.

Billy Joel really is an all-around artist: song-writer & entertainer and not just a musician. Not bad for a skinny kid from Oyster Bay LI.
That song and The Ballad of Billy the Kid are the best. Piano Man and Captain Jack are a close 2nd.
