Scene's From An Billy Joel Concert

I saw Billy Joel in concert the other night. And I don't care who knows it.

It was one of the better shows I've been to in a long time. It probably helps that I knew 97% of the songs he played. He's got his fair share of detractors, but it really is incredible to witness an artist playing songs that formed the foundations of my musical tapestry (for want of a better term). Songs that I remember listening to (and loving) even before I was a teenager. Even his crap songs had me smiling (which is no mean feat), and there was a moment during his final encore where I wanted to collectively hug the 12,000 audience members; even the troglodite behind me who insisted on telling everyone, out loud, "I love this song", EVERY time Billy started a new song.


Anyway, I just wanted to say - it was brilliant.
