Billy Joel

In the summer of 2009, Billy Joel was deep into his Face 2 Face tour, a legendary collaboration with Elton John that brought together two of pop music's titans. The performance of 'Only The Good Die Young' at Nationals Park served not just as a testament to Joel's enduring appeal but also highlighted his prolific career, which had already spanned decades. Leading up to this live recording, Joel had released '12 Gardens Live' in 2006, a double album capturing the electrifying energy of his concerts. It's interesting to note that this period marked a resurgence of interest in Joel's music, as fans old and new celebrated his blend of heartfelt storytelling and rock-infused melodies. This concert wasn’t just another show; it was a celebration of Joel’s timeless classics, proving that great music, much like the artist himself, never goes out of style.
