Billy Joel opener A Matter of Trust Madison Square Garden 8/24/22

[@BobbyL-jm1hq]

He may look 100 years old, but the voice has never faltered....one of the truly great artists of our time.

[@HumongusAmongus]

He is the greatest

[@markgriffiths3262]

omg, "voice has never faltered". Cant lower the key any further, off key at 3:03-3:05, no punch, no power, bad karaoke. Save your money, stay home, put on his records. Period.

@@markgriffiths3262 He is 73, give him a break and from what I am seeing is the sound wasn't done well at this show, I have seen other vids from the show. He is still worth it!

[@BobbyL-jm1hq]

@@markgriffiths3262 I don't want to hear a record when I go to a concert. Part of the magic of live performance is that there is a person, who may not be pitch perfect at all times, but who is performing live what some techno-geek board dude cleaned up, usually too much to put out on record. Actually, I never cared for Billy's studio stuff. Just like Paul McCartney, his records never have the range and power of his live music.

[@joshuabrooks4907]

Billy turns 75 next year, but you can almost feel the years melting off of him whenever he sings his older hits.

[@BobCat623923]

all he has are older hits

Its over for both. Stay home, put on there records and save your money. I was a huge fan, but have come to terms that live gigs are over for both.Have been listening to both for years. Get over it, like I have. To quote myself, "The voices are gone, the legends remain.

Sure he looks like my grandpa, and some of fire is long gone but damn I am glad he is still out there playing these classics.

[@markgriffiths3262]

I agree, but don't charge outrageous ticket prices as if he was in his prime. But I suppose there will always be fools and deaf people with too much money that will always pay.

For all my comments about Billys current vocal ability, I must admit he is truly amazing when I heard him sing Innocent Man posted 5 months ago singing live. My god he, to my ear, actually hits the high note, twice. Bravo to Billy!!!

[@revolutionaryprepper4076]

The piano man strikes again! Only this time, with an electric guitar, as an old man. 😂 Billy Joel is a seasoned performer and now an oldtimer. Good for him! God bless him! 😊

la prima volta che lo vedo suonare una chitarra Ciao a tutti voi

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

Sounds good for his age (hope I sound even a quarter as good just talking as he does singing (my singing voice is not even a thirty-second as good as his) when I reach his age), but I'm not sure this was a good opener. Walking out with the guitar made him look way too old. Kinda hurt thinking about the energy he had in the music video and seeing him walk out to preform in concert 30+ years later.

[@markgriffiths3262]

The voice is gone, the legend remains.

The voice is still there , bit weaker but still in key and mostly sounds the same. The booze fueled Billy of the 70s and 80s is long gone but compared to his peers he still sounds awesome.

@@BobCat623923 Thats right. I agree, about Deljudice and his guitar playing, but he also plays piano mainly. But he is not there for either instrument, it is his vocal instrument that is exceptional. Backing vocals and helping Billy at his live gigs. He also does all the sound check set up for him before shows.When Billy first heard him in his tribute band, he thought it was actually a recording of himself. Later he made appearances at some of mikes gigs, then asked him to tour with him full time. Quite a story really.
