Billy Joel Live Performance: Prelude/Angry from East Rutherford, NJ Concert
Billy Joel's live recording from April 20, 1999, captures a pivotal moment in his career, just before he took a brief hiatus from touring. This performance occurred shortly after he released his album 'River of Dreams' in 1993, which was his last studio album of original material. By this time, Joel was a seasoned artist with numerous hits under his belt, from 'Piano Man' to 'Uptown Girl.' Interestingly, this concert marked not only a high-energy setlist featuring his classic tunes but also the last show he performed until December of the same year, adding a layer of anticipation for fans. The Continental Airlines Arena, known for its capacity to host massive crowds, buzzed with excitement, making this live event memorable in the singer's illustrious journey.
