Billy Joel

In October 1986, Billy Joel was riding high on the success of his album 'The Bridge,' released just a year earlier. This album marked a pivotal point in his career, showcasing a blend of classic rock elements with some of his most introspective lyrics yet. That night at the Providence Civic Center, Joel delivered an electrifying performance filled with hits that resonated with the audience, such as 'We Didn't Start the Fire' and 'A Matter of Trust.' Interestingly, 'The Bridge' was Joel's response to the changing music landscape of the late '80s, where he deftly captured both his signature sound and the zeitgeist of the times. This concert not only highlighted his incredible stage presence but also underscored how he constantly evolved while staying true to his roots.
