Some people love Donald Trump, some people despise Donald
Trump, and some people are just sick of Donald Trump. At times the
disagreements can become quite contentious. But if we could just put all of
these people together at Madison Square Garden for a Billy Joel concert, I
think we could solve all the disagreements and problems in the world, if only
for a few brief hours.
Since the beginning of 2014, Mr. Joel has been performing
monthly at Madison Square Garden. Last night was concert #37. Here is the Set
List, played straight through with no intermission (he is older than we are - how
does he do it?):
Layla (Derek and the
Dominos cover)
Kashmir (Led Zeppelin cover)
Ruby Tuesday
(The Rolling
Stones cover)
Take It Easy (Eagles cover)
Nessun dorma (Giacomo
Puccini cover)
Encores:
“Allentown” took on new meaning when he sang:
Every
child has a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
To get at least as far as their old man got
But
something happened on the way to that place
The words in “Piano Man” described the experience perfectly:
We’re
all in the mood for a melody
And
you’ve got us feelin’ alright
Mr. Joel has said that he plans to keep going monthly until
the concerts no longer sell out. Tickets go on sale tomorrow for concert #41 on
May 25.
Here is my favorite Billy Joel song, “Scenes from an Italian
Restaurant.” Enjoy!
Love,
Rebecca
