Billy Joel

In February 1998, Billy Joel was truly in the thick of his illustrious career, having just released the album 'Greatest Hits Volume 3' in 1997, which compiled some of his later hits like 'The River of Dreams.' This live performance of 'Movin' Out' at the CoreStates Center in Philadelphia highlights his exceptional talent for engaging with an audience, even years after his initial hits took the music world by storm. Interestingly, at that time, Joel had moved into a phase of his career where he was focusing on live performances and maintaining his legacy, having stepped away from regular studio recording. The intimate, yet powerful vibe of the venue allowed Joel to bring a certain rawness to the performance, captivating fans who had loved his storytelling and musical craftsmanship for decades.
