Billy Joel
Billy Joel Live at Nassau Coliseum performing his greatest hits
On December 27, 1989, Billy Joel graced the stage at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for a memorable live performance that perfectly encapsulated his career during a peak period. This concert came shortly after the release of his album "Storm Front" in 1989, which was a significant commercial success, featuring hits like "We Didn’t Start the Fire". The late '80s marked a transitional phase in Joel's music, as he embraced a more rock-oriented sound while still incorporating his signature storytelling style. Interestingly, in 1989, he also reunited with drummer Liberty DeVito, a longtime collaborator and integral part of his classic sound. This performance, rich with energy and nostalgia, stands out as a celebration of Joel's resilience and artistry, reflecting both his past success and the evolution of his next musical endeavors.
