Piano Men

Billy Joel and Elton John were awesome.  The show started at 7:45 and went on 'til about 11:oo.  They started out together on two grand pianos facing each other.  They opened the concert with "Your Song", then did 3 more together.  Then Elton took the stage and did a set of about 10 of his own songs.  He is a hugely amazing piano player, and very entertaining.  After that, without a break at all, Billy Joel came on with his band and did about 10 of his songs.  He is a great piano player too, but he also rocked it out with the guitar and twirled and threw the mikestand and stuff like that.  Really fun!  At the end they came on together again and did six more songs, ending with "Piano Man".  Terrific show!!!

I didn't know two huge performers like that would have a show together. I (never) go to concerts like that. I want to, but haven't put in the effort. What a fabulous experience.

Glad you got so much enjoyment from two fantastic performers.

I am envious, but too cheap to go to such performances.

I am content to live vicariously through the experiences of folks like you.

Thanks for sharing.

Glad you had such a good time at your concert. A Piano Man duet w/ these two would be mind-blowing.
