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.
