For some couples it was their first date and for others their first date was at a Billy Joel concert 35 years ago! And for some it being their very first time after over hearing one lady tell the person next to her that she’s been waiting 45 years for this moment, it’s one of those reasons why I think he still tours, for the fans. Hearing competitive people telling one another how many times they have seen Billy Joel, some 5, some 15, even hearing 45 times from one gentleman. Storyteller alley is the bee hive of noise and conversations of the fans in line as they make their way through security. Prior to showtime it’s always amazing the things you hear as you walk down what I like to call “Storyteller Alley”. Still playing like had something to prove, Joel captivated everyone in the room, not a soul left the venue until the balcony lights came on. Opening the show with “My Life”, the patiently awaited crowd rose to their feet once the first piano key was struck, and the hits followed as the night went on.
