Description
“LIVE FROM LONG ISLAND” was Billy Joel’s standard live video in the days of VHS and LD. However, it has been out of print for a long time now, and has yet to be released on DVD or Blu-ray. In the past, the Japanese broadcast version and the LD version were released as “LIVE FROM LONG ISLAND JAPANESE SPECIAL EDITION”, but this time we have prepared an upgraded version that was suddenly broadcast in Germany at the end of last year and became a hot topic. Since it was broadcast after processing appropriate for the current digital age, the clarity is shockingly high, incomparable to the VHS and LD of the time. It was really surprising that such an upgraded version was suddenly released in 2024. The picture quality is so clear that I wish they would just release it officially as it is, but unfortunately it was a digest version of less than 50 minutes. The outstanding picture quality is well worth watching. You will be impressed that you can finally watch the long-familiar “LIVE FROM LONG ISLAND” with such high quality. It’s interesting that the final song before the ending credits ends with “Big Shot” because it’s a digest version, and the image quality has improved, so you can’t help but fall in love with Billy’s young and dignified appearance. Especially in the performance scene of “Pressure”, Billy’s dignifiedness stands out, and the stage action in the previous “Big Shot” where he was so conscious of the camera that you thought he would do a backflip at the end, but he just faked the landing, which is really nostalgic, and it’s amazing that the whole live performance, including those scenes, can be enjoyed with the same quality as today’s large screen TVs. This surprising upgraded broadcast will make you feel better about the official release of “LIVE FROM LONG ISLAND” that has yet to be realized.
