I feel like you underestimated some of Billy Joel’s and some of David Brubeck’s intros…..
The transition between John Lennon and David Bowie is freaking awesome
Lovely to hear ‘David Bennett Piano’ play some actual piano! You’re playing the Nord Grand, right? It sounds great! How does it feel compared to a real piano?
Thanks! The Nord Grand feels amazing! My reaction when I played it for the first time was literally “this is the Elder Wand of digital pianos!!”
@David Bennett Piano do you prefer the Nord piano or the Nord grand?
@Oliver Cowan Nord Piano is the 2nd best digital piano I’ve tried… Nord Grand is the best 😊
Fantastic, great job David!
Thanks!
Note perfect, beautifully done. Nice inclusion of Weller. Rd 2: “Werewolves of London”, “Editions Of You”, Lou Reed’s “Berlin”
I just love your videos!
In the sequel, maybe you could include some Nightwish?
For example The Greatest Show on Earth or Ever Dream have beautiful piano intros 🙂
Well done Mr. Piano! Good that you had Firth of Fifth in your list. Can you have The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway next time? It would be awesome!
Wow these are truly iconic, great job! I was watching from the bed where I couldn’t read and trying to guess… Hit about half mostly from the second half. I can think of a few more J don’t think I heard but might not be as iconic too… Thete are certainly more recent ones than 7 years, but thats a good stopping point
Ok… how many takes? 😀 Incredible work David – loved this! 👏👏👏
Thanks Tim!!
Great run, but I was totally waiting for Come Sail Away by Styx. That one’s pretty legendary.
I’ve put it on the list for next time 😊😊
Yes, I missed that one as well. Epic piano intro!
Great video as always! Only Prelude / Angry young man by Billy Joel is missing in my opinion.
As a boomer – I am more partial to the first 40 – but this was so stunningly good, I sat through the commercial which I normally don’t do (🙂
By the way, rock’s premier piano session guy Nicky Hopkins was represented – but my favorite Nicky intro is on The Who’s “They are All in Love’. Also ‘Bennie and the Jets’ piano intro is iconic – maybe it is considered too simple ?
Pretty surprised to see “Feel” by Robbie Williams on this list, which I’m pleased about. You are really good at playing piano.
These are some of my fav piano riffs (I so wished you included at least some of these)
Queen- Doing Alright
Bruce Springsteen- Racing In The Street
Fleetwood Mac- Silver Springs
Dire Straits- Tunnel Of Love
Dire Straits- Expresso Love
Dire Straits- Love Over Gold (yes, I like this band a lot)
The Cure- Homesick
Counting Crows- A Long December
Radiohead- Karma Police
David Gray- This Year’s Love
Muse- Space Dementia
Coldplay- Amsterdam
Norah Jones- One Flight Down
David Gray- The Other Side
Muse- Apocalypse Please
James Blunt- No Bravery
Yeah, most of this is old music. Lol.
Thanks! and some good suggestions on this list!
Great choices and killer playing! Made it look effortless. Also great pick with oh you pretty things
Thanks!
Wow a true emotional roller coaster, the whole spectrum of emotion and feelings
THANKs !
I don’t know why but this (and Paul Davids’ which I subsequently watched) made me really emotional. LOVED IT! I hope to see other creators do this for drum intros, vocal intros, whatever else there is!
This is great. Weirdly enough, I think there isn’t enough piano love in the community
Great list and performance. Loved seeing Ben Folds represented. 🙏🏼
Great video, would definitely add Fool’s Overture by Supertramp and Riverside by Agnes Obel
I think Van Halen’s Right Now should definitely be on one of these lists!
