Billy Joel - My Life (Live From The River Of Dreams Tour)

[@tb_postman]

I went to his (probably the last) concert at Tokyo yesterday. This song was the opening song, and soon after he started playing the prelude, the audience got pumped up! It was one of the greatest night in my life and their lives who were there. I’ll never forget the moment of the live forever.

When I used to play out on drums people would always say “you hit those drums like your mad at them” this guy plays like that. I always said you gotta play it like you mean it!! Of course different situations call for different dynamics(like bridge in this song) but the rest of the time…hit em hard!! I love this drummer. Fun to watch and yes it takes a toll on your joints.

You gotta know Josh Dun if you like drums, it will be worth it to watch just like this one!

I was fortunate to have seen him live at the Madison Square Garden some years ago and I hope to see him next year if the pandemic fears die down and all travel gets normalised. As Tony Bennett called him once.. Billy is a poet and a performer and a philosopher.
