Billy Joel

On October 31, 1986, Billy Joel performed at the Rosemont Horizon in Illinois during his 'The Bridge Tour,' promoting his album 'The Bridge,' which had been released just a few months earlier in July. This album marked an important shift in Joel's career, as it featured more personal themes and a diverse sound, incorporating elements of rock and pop. Notably, 'The Bridge' included hit singles like 'Modern Woman' and 'A Matter of Trust,' both of which showcased his evolving songwriting style. This concert would have felt electric for fans, as it came during a period when Joel was at the height of his popularity, following his monumental success in the 1970s and 1980s. Interestingly, the tour was one of the last major tours before Joel began to step back from the relentless touring schedule, illustrating a pivotal moment in his artistic journey.
