Free Music Notes for 12 Gardens: Live (2CD)Free Music Review: Amazing Concert Hit: 5 Stars
I was luck enough to be at one of his tweleve shows at Madison Square Garden. The concert from start finish was great. He played not only old standards that you would expect like Piano Man, and Scenes from an Italian Resturant, but also played songs that I frankly, have not heard in years like Zanzibar, and Downeaster Alexa. This concert proves that even with Billy Joel's recent personal problems he still has amazing talent. I often purchase concert albums with the hopes of recatpuring shows I've seen; sadly, most of the time I am disappionted. Not here, this CD really captures not only Joel's great show, but the enthusiasm the crowd had for him. I highly recomend this CD.
Free Music Review: Nice Live Set From Billy Joel Hit: 5 Stars
This past spring Billy Joel proved once again that he is one of the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time by playing 12 straight sold out shows at Madison Square Garden. The majority of his classics are all covered here. The only songs I was disappointed not to see included were "Uptown Girl" ,"Tell Her About It", "The Stranger", and "I Go to Extremes". I think they should have just went all out and included all songs on a 3 or 4 disc set, but that may be asking too much. This is the first CD i've bought for 3 years, its that good and important. Despite his age, Billy Joel continues to deliver passionate performances of his songs.
Free Music Review: The best BJ Live CD available Hit: 5 Stars
Incredible Live CD. I have not heard such an excellent Live CD for a long time. Although he is getting old, his singing and playing piano only getting better with his age. And his songs are all precious gems. I really liked the audience sang with him on She's always a woman and the audience sang that famous hook of Piano man. Not all of his hits are included but I really enjoyed very much. If you like his works, pls buy this CD. And you will know what I meant. Although he has not reliesed his album since 1993, this CD proves he is still one of the best songwriters/singers of our time. Highly recommended.
Free Music Review: A great one from Billy Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a long time Billy Joel fan going back to my days as a middle schooler in the mid-70's. As time has passed I've kinda put Billy aside music-wise. I saw the set-list for this CD and bought it and it is excellent. He has done a great job at picking out not only the popular stuff but some older,more obscure but great songs. His voice has withstood the test of time, he sounds fantastic as does his band. Surprises include Zanzibar, Vienna and a few forgotten tracks from the Nylon Curtain albumn. Congratulations on a great one Billy.
Free Music Review: Best of the Best Hit: 5 Stars
I own and enjoy a number of Billy Joel's albums, but this live performance album is now my new favorite. The energy you feel from Billy Joel's interaction with the audience is contagious. Joel's musicianship (and that of his band members) really shines in this album. I also like the fact that he doesn't stray too far from the old familiar, basic tune lines in most of the songs, which is many times the downfall of a lot of live albums. I keep this album in my car, turn it up loud, and sing along. Great, great stuff!
