Billy Joel Concert


We went to the Billy Joel concert last night in Pittsburgh. I have to say it was awesome. Billy knows how to put on a great show. This show is right on top of my better concerts. It may be my best concert ever. The best part was there wasn't any opening act, just all Billy for 2.5 hours.

He played my 2 favorite songs back to back; We Didn't Start the Fire and It's Still Rock N Roll to Me.

This was my first time seeing him and it may be the last. He doesn't tour in this area very often and with sky-high ticket prices we may miss him the next time.

Here are most of the songs he sang. There are a few I may have forgotten:

Angry Young Man
My Life
The Entertainer
New York State of Mind
Zanzibar
Allentown
Captain Jack
You're My Home
It's Still Rock N Roll To Me
Movin Out
She's Always a Woman
Keeping the Faith
The River of Dreams
A Matter of Trust
We Didn't Start the Fire
Big Shot
Lullaby

ENCORE:
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
Only the Good Die Young
Piano Man
