  1. Great performance, sax player is fantastic. After a lifetime of playing guitar I realized Sax is what I should've been playing!

  2. Michael cavanaugh did billy send you the sheet music or is it from the billy joel keyboard book by Dave rosenthal?

  3. Cover? I don`t think so ( script covered from Obi-Wan Kenobi )…
    You upgraded the song to a Supreme masterpiece.
    I'm always happy with your songs.
    Thank You indeed.😄

  4. Scenes is probably one of the most difficult piano pieces in the pop genre to cover perfectly and you near as nailed it — including the famous little piano riff from 2:54 to 3:04. 🙂 I've been listening and jamming songs from The Stranger ever since it came out in 1978 and man your attention to detail is fantastic. And it seems that you were born with a voice very similar to BJ's!! Your saxophonist has apparently studied Richie Cannata, and drummer Liberty DeVitto to get the sound as authentic as possible. The orchestral backing is also great. You guys must have put a massive amount of time into getting the arrangement so perfect. Great job by all concerned.

  5. I can’t get this tune out of my head,…great version,…love the strings,…

  6. Saw this video and immediately searched the tour schedule. Definitely getting tickets next time youre here.

  7. I just subscribed, you are amazing. Orchestra and arrangements are also top class. What’s the name of the great sax player? Thank you!

  8. You're amazing! 🌹 Beautiful voice and great performance! 🌹 Greetings from Rome ❤️

  9. You are damn good. I love your presentation skills, Quite the entertainer and who does not love being entertained by an accomplished artiste. May God bless you and the fam.

  10. Lacks the drawl and fighter attitude of Billy Joel, the energy is only luke warm, in short a decent cover but it's not the New Yoork version.

  11. One of my favorite songs – and I just discover this version now on Youtube. Thank you, Michael! This cover is brilliant… and wow!! What a great performance! Greetings from Norway.

  12. Fantastic cover here. You sir? I'm sure have put a great smile on Billy Joel as well as us Boomer aged fans to Joel's greats. Absolutely fantastic. BRAVO 👏 Grazie . Arrivederci.

  13. Michael Kavanaugh, best, best job on this song! It is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs and the way you clearly sing the lyrics and play the piano is amazing. The saxophone player is awesome. Just saw you on Marco Island and it was the best show I’ve ever seen there. We will be looking up your tour dates to find out where we can come see you next!😊
