Bill and I saw Billy Joel perform – again – at Madison Square Garden.

It is one of only a few concerts I can think of where you enter the venue singing, sing the whole time and leave thinking about the few songs you didn’t hear. His repertoire is so vast that he could fill many concerns and never repeat a song.

And, Billy Joel is so relaxed on the stage behind his piano having a conversation with his fans. As if he was born to that spot.

But . . . here is the thing. My favorite part of the show was not a song performed by the headline performer. Instead, Mike Delguidice performed the most moving rendition of Nessun Dorma. It literally stopped the house. When Delguidice is not performing with Billy Joel, he is singing with Big Shot, his own Joel cover band. We’ve seen them perform. It’s really fun and I highly recommend a visit.

That said, my Billy Joel did not disappoint and I would see him again. Of course, I’m partial because he sang my favorite song, Vienna, and I’m pretty convinced he was singing it straight to me.
