I've seen Billy Joel about 10, Maybe 15 times over the years.

I've seen him do Prelude to an Angry Young Man Solo (WOW!!!) and I've seen him "Phone in" the show (not so WOW!!!!) But his is a show I would have loved to see!!!! The guest list is insane!!!!!

(((((((((Christine)))))))))) Sorry that you didn't get to go to the concert. You'll have to leave your number with the bartender.

I was in the 2nd to last row in the upper deck in right field and I still thought it was the best concert I've ever been to. Don't get me wrong Jimmy puts on great shows, but he doesn't play for 3 hours non-stop very often. The stadium was literally shaking pretty much non-stop from Walk This Way until the end of the main set.

That must've been awesome.... THE show of the year!!!

I was hoping Paul AND Ringo would make the surprise appearance
but, no doubt, having a Beatle there for the last concert in that famous bowl must have been unreal!!

I ws at the Wednesday night show. I think I would rather see Roger Daltrey and Paul McCartney than Don Henley and John Mellencamp.
