Billy Joel - Zanzibar Live Rome 2006 video free download

The trumpet player is Carl Fischer. The flugelhorn solo at the 3:10 mark is the original solo done by Freddie Hubbard.

Tim Salmon

Trumpet player is awesome - does anybody know his name? Sorry a bit naive!

Paul Mataruga

Hit the cymbals?!!....changed the key?!!...give me a break...this band is smoking hot...

Look at Mark Rivera, he looks like he's about to fall asleep.

I wish the drummer would HIT the fuckin cymbals, he's tapping them. Sucks the lifeblood out of it. Goddamn it. 

Hammer Inheads

It's just NOT at all the same song without Liberty Devitto. If you cant hear it, you're deaf.

Billy Joel, live in Rome. Get a load of the trumpet solos.

Hi, allisonrl355 - I was actually THERE in 2006. He did some rehearsing & tuning before the concert. Lots of people at that concert. He sounded great. I felt like all of Rome was there. People who had colosseum tours had to do it in a hurry because Billy Joel concert took precedence. He hadn't performed in Rome for a while. I'm not from Italy but was on vacation there. It was perfect timing for Billy Joel to be there. And I really DID have limoncello earlier that day in Rome. Lovely drink! :-)

Looking for that waitress' secret smile ;-)

He's got a point, mate...so sad to think about how old Billy's getting.

Billy Joel performing in front of the Colosseum. Give me a limoncello and I'm set for life.

@nicjimbass haha, i'm 30 as well.

@sgtpepper1138 I agree that Liberty was amazing, as was his rhythm counterpart Doug Stegmeyer, both of whom are on the original recording. I've been listening to 52nd Street since I was 4 or 5 (30 now) so I'm very familiar with the original, which is simply amazing, IMO. This seems like a pale imitation, just lacking the soul and street vibe the album had. Still pretty good though.

@nicjimbass one reason is Liberty isn't playing drums. His style is so savage, he's like animal from The Muppets.

nicjimbass

To me, this is nowhere near as grooving as the original recording. Not bad, but just too straight.

mmhmm :-(

To be honest, I don't mind that it's in another key. It still sounds great but it's also a little bit of a variety.

Smokin' solo by Carl!

Would you rather he sing it badly in the original key - straining to hit the notes?
