It’s My Life: Billy Joel Concert Review

I finally saw Billy Joel in concert!!
He played at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.
He played many songs, told funny stories, and basically just put on one heck of a show.
This was a HUGE concert for me, having grown up on his music.
He still sings and plays amazing.
His band is great.
And of course his songs are timeless.

  3. The Entertainer
  4. Vienna (audience choice between that and Just The Way You Are)
