Billy Joel

Before the December 9, 2016 live recording of 'Only the Good Die Young', Billy Joel had released his album 'River of Dreams' back in 1993, marking a significant period in his career. By the time of this concert in San Antonio, Billy was basking in the glow of his long-established legacy, having built a catalog full of timeless hits. Interestingly, this performance was part of his ongoing residency at Madison Square Garden, which began in 2014 and highlighted his enduring appeal. Notably, 'Only the Good Die Young' was originally released in 1977 as part of his breakthrough album 'The Stranger'. The track has become a staple in his live sets, serving as a testament to his lasting connection with fans, and the energy in this performance captures that magic beautifully.
