I am finding I need a teleprompter just to remember my SSN any more!

As much as he bounces around the stage i don't think so...... but then again maybe for his ad libs

Many musicians have them. I saw Billy Joel a few months ago in Phili and I had a view from behind the stage and he had one. I would not be surprised at all if JB had one either- but question is how often does he need to go to it?

I've seen it at three shows since last fall in Vegas, but I haven't seen Jimmy use it all that much.....
And I'd bet good money that none of US could get through 20-odd JB songs without blowing the lyrics.... I know I couldn't.....
Is this the end?

I've read or heard, on more than one occasion, JB say that he'll keep touring until he needs a TelePromptEr, like Sinatra did at the end..
then, it's time to hang it up.
Has it really come to this?

The only time at Cincy where I noticed him really focused on it was during "Werewolves of London".

That's a good point. That song is more like a short story than a song!

i dunno he seems to miss a lot of verse's to be reading a teleprompter, not that i can blame him i have a hard time remembering what day it is, but on the fenway disc for example southern cross is all messed up.

People, let us not forget that this guy "smoked a ton of dope and went totally crazy" for a little while. Got to think that his brain is fried to some degree. If anything, it establishes that he wants to give the attendees a good show and not one filled with senoir moments.
Just wait until he starts to lip sync!
