Billy Joel

[Silverti]

Just got back from the concert, it was pretty damn good! Crowd really got into it as the night went on.

He played one of my favorite songs that I totally didn’t expect to hear... downeaster alexa.

There was one song where he let a rodee sing a song and people didn’t sound happy. It was great, Billy said "dont be upset, this is a religious song" and people booed until the guy came out and sang AC~DC High way to hell and rocked the place... that was great!


That was the first concert I had ever been at that some people around me almost got in a fight cause 2 dudes were standing up on a few songs. Guys behind them went off on them (at one point one of them even pushed the guy). They were 1 seat on front of me but one seat over so they weren’t bothering me that much. I just don’t get that. To me concerts are basically stand up events and if you are lucky enough to sit down then you are just lucky...

I saw Billy at the Cow Palace, SF last week, as part of the Oracle Open World event. Were you there, Silverti?

That Rodee gig was fun, he definitely could rock the house!

I was hoping Billy would do Piano Man, but he didn't. All in all, it was a great concert, it was good that I didn't switch over to Stevie Nick/Fleetwood Mac show next door. I didn't realize that Billy is a funny guy too, with his comments, he could be a stand-up comedian.

Saw him in Portland and he played Piano Man for us in the encore.
