Brilliant, thanks for the links folks, It's one of my fav records, I listen to it in the car frequently, I had no idea it was on youtube.

My OH can't stand him so I play his stuff just to annoy her.

I like Billy Joel, he's a brill pianist and writes most of his music, I also have a 2 hour video of him live on stage, recorded many years ago.

Click on the link you posted turn the volume up loud then sit back an enjoy it.
I've played it 3 times alreadys.

I must admit it is fantastic
