Billy Joel

In March 2009, Billy Joel was riding a wave of nostalgia and celebration during the 'Face to Face' tour with Elton John, a series of concerts that truly showcased his enduring appeal. Prior to this concert, his last studio album was 'Fantasies & Delusions,' released in 2001, which explored a more classical approach with orchestral pieces. Interestingly, 'Allentown,' the song featured in this live recording, came from his 1982 album 'The Nylon Curtain,' a poignant reflection on American life that resonated deeply during its release. This live performance in Jacksonville offered fans a chance to not only experience the magic of his music but also witness Joel's ability to connect with audiences, stories in the songs translating effortlessly into the energy of a live setting.
