And I don't think I've gotten an new album by him in 15 years. It was the only concert I can recall going to where I felt ripped off by the artist, unfortunatly. But I did upgrade a couple of albums; and I've picked up a few favorite songs off iTunes recently; and I think he will do a truly wonderful version of the Anthem.

To clarify, this means I like him more than the Eagles, the Doobie Brothers, et al. Yep, for me Billy Joel sits atop the list of musical artists unfairly derided by critics and/or cynics.

Well worth picking up, especially since he played some songs he hadn't done live in decades. Overworm - You'd be amazed, particularly by the number of people who are too cool for the room who do nothing but deride Billy Joel. I'm shocked we haven't had any car crash or alcohol-related jokes in this thread, yet. Phil - It’s a good set on the GARDEN CDs.

Wish he had played a venue close to me during his tour earlier this year. Y'know, I should've put 12 GARDENS on my Christmas list. Haven't picked that up yet. Hey, cool!
