I saw him a few times, but his last tour with Elton was my favorite. One set of Billy playing Elton songs, one of Elton playing Billy songs, with the last set duets. Great show. Wish I caught one with Stevie Nicks!
I saw one of the shows from that tour too except Billy Joel was like just absolutely wasted drunk and kept falling off his piano stool and couldn’t remember the lyrics. He even tossed the bench of the stage at one point and a stage hand had to run out another chair for him.
He kept playing the piano the whole time basically perfectly though which was absolutely wild.
Nah. Billy Joel (with Stevie Nicks) put on one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

I saw that tour with Billy Joel and Elton John, too. To date, still one of the best concerts I’ve been to. Face to Face. Wish they’d done a DVD of it!
