Billy Joel

In June 1980, Billy Joel was riding high on the success of his acclaimed album 'Glass Houses,' which had been released just weeks prior. This remarkable album, featuring hits like 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me,' resonated with audiences and marked a shift in Joel's sound towards a more rock-oriented style. The live recording of 'Honesty' captures him performing at Madison Square Garden, veering into a more intimate side of his artistry, which might not have been fully expected from the upbeat hits dominating the charts at the time. Fun fact: the 'Glass Houses' tour was a notable moment in his career, as it showcased his ability to connect deeply with fans while still embracing the energetic spirit of live performance, demonstrating just how versatile he could be.
