Billy Joel

In June 1994, Billy Joel was riding high on the success of his 'River of Dreams' album, which he released a year earlier. This particular live recording from the Festhalle in Frankfurt showcases not just his musical evolution, but also the lively spirit of the '90s concert scene. 'Only the Good Die Young,' a fan-favorite, was one of the hits that catapulted him to fame back in the late '70s, but here, it’s infused with fresh energy and a seasoned performer’s charisma. It's interesting to note that as Joel toured Europe during this period, his shows were known for their theatricality and crowd interaction, making his live performances unforgettable experiences. Also, this concert was a part of his tour promoting the 'River of Dreams’ album, which was notable for being his last studio album released while he was still actively creating new music.
