Piano Man

1/18/14 - 12:06am - Just got back from the Billy Joel concert at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.  I had a great time with my friend, Morgan.  More information and photos to come!  I have to go to bed - 10 mile run in the morning.

1/19/14 - 8:18 pm - Finally have a few minutes to RAVE about Billy Joel.  I saw him once before with Elton John in Houston in 2009 and he did not disappoint.  He is definitely the best showman I've ever seen.  I've included the set list below, as well as a few videos.

Above - "Pressure," from 1982's The Nylon Curtain - one of my favorite Billy Joel songs, an early memory from childhood as well - I remember my Mom going to see Billy Joel with her friend Carol in the early 90s and telling me about the crazy lights used during this song.

Below - Billy talks about his opening act (still trying to find his name), who played "Tiny Dancer" earlier, and joked that they'll keep him around since he's "cheaper than the other guy."  He also made a slight dig at Madonaa, but I won't hold it against him.
