NFT: Billy Joel at MSG

I'm in a New York state of mind.
Was that

his 101st appearance there? I saw him in the 70's, probably within his first 10 appearances. He had a full head of hair and was running/jumping all over the place. But I guess his song catalog wasn't as big
Saw him at Rockland County Community College

spring 1977. Just before HS graduation.
They hung a banner in the rafters

I believe it was #149.

He's old. No running. No jumping.

I feel lucky to have seen him.
Last time I saw Billy Joel was at Reunion Arena in Dallas

In September 1978. He had a lot of energy back in the day running around stage.
Trey joined him on stage

last night. Curious who he brings out for the last show. Springsteen would be a logical choice - but he already came out on stage with Billy a few years ago. Maybe it will be McCartney.

Springsteen is touring in Europe so that eliminates him. Elton John maybe? They have shared a stage in the past.
Is he getting along with Elton?

They have had their differences
Saw him on his 75th birthday

he didn't need to run or jump. He was fabulous.
He did half of "Start me up" by the Stones and then he stopped and said:" Didn't think I'ld be doing that at 75 either!"
Cracked the whole audience up!

I used to hate his music, but it has grown on me & I've come to like it, minus 'We Didn't Start the Fire'...that song is like nails on a chalkboard for me, Haha.
