I’m not a massive concert guy.
I can count on two hands the bands/ artists I have gone to see at a concert.
That doesn’t count either.
Mayer multiple times, and Billy Joel the most.
A very short list.
I really only want to see a concert if I love the artist.
And I really love Billy Joel.
It’s now been almost 10 years of sellouts and doesn’t look to be slowing down.
He’s the best, and most importantly never forgot where he came from.
A New Yorker through and through.
His home here has always meant a lot to him.
He really is the best.
Very rare for an artist to be able to do that .
He’s the best.
The Millenium Album live on New Year’s Eve 1999 at MSG is the best live album ever.
With all that said , here’s my personal favorite Billy Joel songs.
Not the best, the 10 I love the most.
A true deep cut.
Rosalinda’s Eyes has risen up the draft boards.
9- Movin' Out (Anthony’s Song)
Like everything he does, a classic.
No further explanation, just a classic.
And for your kids out there, was used in a high volume for away messages and AOL profiles.
Only the good die young, and only Billy can be bridging age gaps like that.
7 - Piano Man
GOAT of songs to see in concert without question.
Always a special moment when he lets the audience sing.
Also still mesmerized by the harmonica contraption.
Top tier sing a long bar song late night.
One of his best, and what he’s known for.
This would 1000000% be the song.
However in terms of my favorites it clocks in at 7.
I think it loses it’s luster on Spotify once you’ve seen him perform it live.
Something we’ve seen 45876859487583493 times in our respective neighborhoods over the years.
Fight, break up, get back together , rinse repeat.
I think this one speaks for itself.
Imagine how unreal that would be ?
He’s got 3 decades of verses he can do.
90’s, 00’s, 10’s.
“Jim and Pammy, Kristen’s car is dunzo
Lebron to Miami, Bartman is a BOZO! "
Maybe that needs work..but you get the point.
Where else can you get house music with Billy Joel?
Can’t help myself, great lyric.
3- Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
Arguably his best song.
It’s really 3 songs in one the way he does it.
Anyone who puts this as their favorite I have no qualms with.
2- Angry Young Man
That piano intro is iconic.
One of my favorites.
The ups and downs and how we battle it.
My all time favorite.
I also hope I can get tickets viaThe Gametime app.
Gametime is the greatest but anyone would be crazy to sell their tickets in my opinion.
If anyone is, verify Gametime is where you go to get them.
Can’t wait to see him again.
