Billy Joel

In the summer of 2018, Billy Joel took to the stage at Old Trafford Football Stadium in Manchester, a venue steeped in history and a fervent fan base. Just prior to this performance, he had released his most recent album, 'River of Dreams' in 1993, and since then, he had pivoted toward live performances that showcased his catalog of hits rather than new studio albums. This concert falls into a period where Joel was enjoying a resurgence in popularity through these live shows, often referred to as the 'Piano Man' on stage, where he effortlessly interweaves storytelling and music. Fun fact: he holds the record for the most consecutive shows at Madison Square Garden, a testament to his enduring appeal. On a side note, isn’t it fascinating how a live concert can evoke such nostalgic feelings, instantly connecting fans with memories tied to each song?
