Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young (Live at Farm Aid 1985) video free download
Billy Joel sings "Only the Good Die Young" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985 accompanied on piano by Randy Newman.
A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

I am a product of the 80s and couldn't really enjoy Billy Joel during this decade. I will say this is one of my favorite songs and ironically was introduced to me by my 12th grade English teacher 10 years ago. The magic of this song is the fact that the catchy beat is completely contradictory to the lyrics which are kind of heavy. I love it when artists do that with music. This song is simply genius.9 years ago
