Billy Joel sings "Summer, Highland Falls" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.

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.

"..... it's either sadness or euphoria " . I saw the first episode of " Black Box " - it was pretty cool . I was also very happy that it's not a carbon copy of another two of my favorite shows , " Monk " and " Perception " . It's worth checking out ( the graphics of the Dr.'s hallucinations are really pretty ) .

Yeah, people are actually "talking to" a sound guy who mixed this 28 years ago, hoping he'll go back and balance out the mix.

Bad Mix, you can't hear Billy's piano and the bass is too dominant, more piano, less bass bro

So much truth to this song. Such a horrible sound man, though.

Is this available in HQ stereo sound? I'll bet it sounds way better in stereo. If it's not available in stereo, this source will be perfect to digitally remaster to dolby 5.1 surround sound and undo the distortions in the sound

I think you are referring to the higher notes that you do not see him playing...that's because he's using his RIGHT hand. And it's not in the shot. SO yes, he IS playing.

@RayRoyRandrew He's always been one of my favorites. Him and Billy need to make up and get on with making some new material.
