Yup, was amazing. I missed a few of the *cough* "rarities" that he's
been playing elsewhere (Miami 2017, Vienna, All For Leyna), but this
was a tremendous show. Billy seemed to be in great spirits, his
voice sounded great (though I thought he lost it a bit near the end),
the drummer didn't suck, and the crowd--though they did all go to
the bathroom during the non-greatest-hits numbers--was very into it
for the most part. A few tiny comments interspersed below:
0. Theme from the Natural
> 1. Prelude/Angry Young Man
> 2. Pressure
> 3. Everybody Loves You Now
banter about whether or not he should play the next song in Boston...
> 4. New York State of Mind
> 5. Ballad of Billy the Kid
> 6. Stilleto
> 7. Zanzibar
Z. featured the changed lyric
"Rosie knows he'll never make the Hall of Fame"
> 8. Allentown
> 9. Great Wall of China (I was so happy to hear this song)
> 10. Sometimes a Fantasy
> 11. Sleeping With the Television On
I'm ashamed to say that I didn't recognize SWtTO from its
first few notes, even though I knew he'd been playing it
sometimes. I'm handing in my Billy Joel Die Hard card tomorrow.
> 12. Good Night Saigon
> 13. Movin' Out
> 14. The Night is Still Young
He introduced GWoC, WTNiSY, and one other (dang, can't remember)
by saying specifically that they were songs the band liked to play...
I think sort of apologizing for the fact that they were rarer songs.
He's got to get a bit more self-confidence about his non-greatest-hits.

Band did it well, too, IMO.
> 18. River of Dreams
> 19. I Go to Extremes
> 20. We Didn't Start the Fire
> 21. Big Shot
> 22. It's Still Rock 'n Roll to Me
Lots of Stupid Microphone Tricks during these two, as he is wont to
do.

I'll be glad to see your full review. We had a great time.

second Ft. Lauderdale show (the 4th show on tour), but not at the
opening night show. It was dark, there were people walking around on
stage, no music at all, and out came Piano Man.
It was kinda awkward. I feel like they "forgot" the opening music.
Lee
Sounds like growing pains =) I also forgot to mention that in
Scenes, he changed "perhaps a bottle of rose instead" to "perhaps
a bottle of ginger ale instead" -- I figure he's probably been
making both of these lyric changes at all the shows?

I thought the first half dragged a bit but overall Billy still kicks
ass. I think most of the under 30 crowd didnt get the first half of
older songs.
