Billy Joel Live: Only the Good Die Young - Final Encore Performance
In October 2013, during his extensive concert series, Billy Joel performed at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, delivering a captivating rendition of 'Only the Good Die Young.' Leading up to this live recording, Joel had just released 'Live at Shea Stadium' in 2010, a tribute to his 2008 performances honoring the iconic stadium's closing. This marked a period where Joel was reconnecting with fans, diving deep into his classic hits and showcasing his remarkable ability to engage an audience. The song itself touches on themes of youth and freedom, which resonate strongly with his crowd. Notably, Joel's comeback to live touring began in 2013, revitalizing his career and solidifying his reputation as a legendary performer. It's almost like this concert was a celebration of his enduring legacy in the music industry.
