Seen him a few times. The last time i saw him (back in the 00's), it was the opening nite of his show. He lead with piano man instead of finishing with it.

He played A LOT of songs i didnt know (i was there for the greatest hits) and didnt enjoy the show at all.

Nice video with references to the lyrics
We often listen to catchy songs without actually thinking about what the artist is really trying to convey

When you break it down it becomes clear that Billy Joel is likely the greatest musical artist all-time

*Vocal Talent
*Instrumental Talent
*Entertainer

Nobody touches this guy

Best ever
