I went last night and it was brilliant!
His engagement of the crowd was superb and the songs he played were a mixture of some good old favourites (Big Shot, Still Rockin' Roll, Always a Woman) and a few I'd never heard of (i.e. Zanzibar, Christmas in Fallujah (which I will definitely be getting off iTunes)).
There was also a roadie who he got up on stage who did a fu%#ing great rendition of Highway to Hell. You might think, how did this fit into a heap of Billy Joel songs, but it actually worked superbly.
Overall a fantastic concert, finished with, you guessed it, Piano Man. I don't think that anyone could have walked away feeling disappointed... For a guy about to turn 60, he's still got a heap of energy and his vocals are great (unlike the other piano man his age)...
