Googled his set list. Looks like he is playing a lot of covers vs his hits. No Captain Jack!!

I've been dragged against my will to 2 Billy Joel concerts with the only hope of mine to see him play Captain Jack. Neither time did he play it. He did do Scenes From An Italian Restaurant at both though, so that was cool. He did Say Goodbye To Hollywood at one of them. Those are the only 3 songs of his I like.

I would rather run a marathon with gout in all of my joints.

Damn. That must have really sucked to be dragged to go see one of the best song writers of all time.

My Life
Piano Man
Uptown Girl
You May Be Right
She's Got A Way

Yeah, his music mostly just does nothing for me. And I'll amend my statement. I wasn't dragged against my will to one of his concerts. It was his tour with Elton John in the mid-90's, so I wanted to go to that one to see Elton.

I also like Allentown. That's a pretty decent song. The rest of those you listed are pretty meh to me. If I never hear Piano Man again, my life would be great.

I do respect his talent and appeal. It just does nothing for me.

It's just him so it will probably start pretty much right at 8.

Unless things have changed one of the road crew named "chainsaw" sings "Highway to Hell", been doing it for years, gives BJ a chance to rest his voice, and the crowds love it.

I wouldn't go see him if he was in my backyard. Actually, I'd beat his as& for trespassing and call the cops.

I've seen him 3 times already, but I'm debating if I should see him tonight. Lots of tickets available at good prices, but I don't know if I wanna go see him again though.
