Billy Joel

In 2018, Billy Joel celebrated over four decades in the music scene, gracefully commanding the stage at Old Trafford in Manchester. This performance of 'New York State of Mind' takes us back to the essence of his iconic 1976 album, 'Turnstiles,' which signified his triumphant return to New York and the start of a vibrant chapter. Interestingly, this live recording occurred just after Joel had been named one of the highest-grossing concert performers of that year. His connection to New York runs deep, and during his set, he often reflects on his journey and the memories tied to the city. The passionate energy he brings to the stage speaks volumes about his enduring legacy, reminding us why he remains a beloved figure in American music.
