Billy Joel Unveils Vintage Performance of 'Long, Long Time' on PBS Station WSIU in 1972

Billy Joel recently unveiled a vintage performance that takes fans back in time. In the video, he can be seen singing the song "Long, Long Time" on the PBS station WSIU back on Feb. 10, 1972. At that early stage of his career, the host mentioned that Joel and his band had been playing together for less than a year, but their sound already showed maturity.

"Long, Long Time" is a track that was not included in any of Billy Joel's original studio albums. However, a performance of the song can be found on the 2011 Legacy Edition of his second album, Piano Man. Following the release of his HBO documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, the musician started sharing rare archival footage on his YouTube channel, many of which were discovered during the documentary's production.

Fans can now enjoy Billy Joel: And So It Goes on HBO Max, where they can delve deeper into the artist's journey and music.
