I went to the Billy Joel concert at the American Airlines Center last night. I saw him about 20 years ago at Reunion Arena and the show wasn't a whole lot different now than it was then. He's older, so he doesn't run around the stage like he used to, but he did play most of his hits. Thankfully, he spared us from Uptown Girl and a few others that I never did like. He tried out a couple of newer songs that didn't go over too well. I guess most people (like me) just wanted to hear his hits.
Our seats we actually pretty good. We had a few close up views of him as he came to the side of the stage. It was a lot of fun, and I'd definitely see him again. There were around 20 thousand people in the audience singing along with songs most of us have heard our entire lives. Piano Man, My Life, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant...It was very cool.
