faba Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 For a concert ticket $49 is unheard of-I would jump at that gameface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 http://www.loge13.com/2007/09/joel_to_close_the_house_the_be.php This just in: Billy Joel is to close Shea Stadium with a concert after the 2008 baseball season. The news was reported in Tuesday's Newsday. According to the paper: Start planning, Billy Joel fans. The Piano Man is now set for two major honors that show not just the depth of his talent, but the breadth of his appeal. The Long Island Philharmonic confirmed Tuesday that it will honor Joel at its 30th annual gala as a longtime supporter of the orchestra and his advocacy of music education. Joel is also set to be the final performer at Shea Stadium, doing a string of concerts at the stadium, which is set for demolition after the 2008 Mets season, sources confirmed Monday. No dates are set for Joel's Shea Stadium run either. (Obviously, the Mets' playoff fortunes next year could factor into that.) Joel has already played Yankee Stadium and captured that in the concert film "Live at Yankee Stadium" in 1990, but never Shea. The number of shows is also not set, though considering Joel holds the record for his 12 sold-out shows in a single run at Madison Square Garden, making him the first musician to ever have his "number" hang there, his run could last a while." Readers of Loge13 know all about the rich rock & roll history of Shea. The essential icons of 20th century music history have all played at Shea Stadium: The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Jethro Tull, etc. Is Billy Joel the appropriate artist to deliver the musical eulogy to this hallowed ground? Who knows. Nothing less than a bill featuring Grand Funk Railroad, The Rutles (oh wait: they played Che Stadium) and the surviving Beatles would suffice as true tribute. So it might as well be Billy Joel. But I always thought he was a Yankee fan. Don't be surprised if we hear later that he will also close Yankee Stadium after the 2008 season as well.

Panzer Division Marduk Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Didn't tip you afterward, eh? He's just bitter he couldn't fit into Joel's Citroen 2CV, when he was offered a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauliec Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I saw Billy Joel at the Garden back in Feb. 06. Absolutely, unbelievably incredible show. His voice sounded perfect and the set was all of the old, great favorites. I've seen him live twice now (saw him with Elton John in March of '01 in the Face to Face tour) and would see him agian and again and again.

Thor99 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Didn't tip you afterward, eh? That bastard is known as "Dollar Bill" in the service industry in the Hamptons. Apparently, it's a privilege to wait on him, so he leaves a $1 tip, no matter the size of the check. He got me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireJet38 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Saw him up in Syracuse at the Carrier Dome two years ago for a similar price -- might have been cheaper. He can still get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
