Elton John & Billy Joel Live Concert Featuring Liberty Devitto's Final Performance

Date: May 8, 2003

In 2003, Billy Joel was riding high on a wave of nostalgia that came with his celebrated career. Just a few years before, he had released "River of Dreams" in 1993, which became his last studio album of the 20th century and included the hit title track. During this live recording with Elton John in Rosemont, fans witnessed a special moment, as it marked Liberty DeVitto's final performance with Billy, a drummer who had been a cornerstone of Joel's sound for over three decades. It's fascinating to think that this concert wasn’t just another gig; it was symbolic of transitions and goodbyes. As they merged their musical talents on stage, listeners couldn’t help but feel the echo of past hits and the weight of change, blending nostalgia with the warmth of live music, making it a memorable night for those in attendance.
