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)...

ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL as per usual.

One of the best entertainers that the world has ever seen.

loved the fact that some of the older songs came out such as Zanzibar were played.

Im amazed that there arent more of the older and lesser known songs put into the show, given that some of the songs are just as good if not better the hits.

Loved how he got Waltzing Matilda going!

Must say i wasnt sure what to think of Christmas in Fallujah when it started, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and how true the lyrics were.

The lights were a show on there own.

Thought it was funny to see the brake lights on the getaway car reversing into the back of the stage during Piano Man, and how quick the stage was dismantled.

If there is any better value for a gig then im yet to see it.

I sat in the ALICE SPRINGS seats, last time in melbourne sat in the back pocket overlooking the stage which i must say i think is better.
