John. It was the first rock show they had ever did there. Worth finding on you tube for Elton’s hissy fit when his piano foot pedal was stuck at the beginning. Billy Joel was hysterical during that part
So take your skank hooker wife and get the f' outta here!
I hear he loves requests for "We Didn't Start the Fire"
Will record Friday and see the rest.
He puts on a great show.
We were at the ND stadium for his concert. Also saw him in 84 at the ACC, chanted good die young for 5 minutes before they came back for that encore.
Huge Billy Joel fan and he convinced us to stay out all night waiting in line for tickets at the ACC. After one hour we were told to go back to our dorms and given paperwork to ensure we could purchase floor seats. He would start other people’s songs and then stop abruptly after one minute stating we don’t do that song. One song was Live and Let Die. Apparently, the powers that be told him he couldn’t play Only the Good Die Young. So he did it twice. At the conclusion of the concert, we were told “Hey South Bend, don’t take shit from anyone.” Good concert
Went to concert. Partied in Keenan basement after concert.
I remember thinking that Liberty DeVito's drums sounded the best of any I had yet heard at an arena concert. I had my camera confiscated by security after sneaking it in to the show. "Live and Let Die" did indeed sound just like the original. Great performance overall.
One of many I wish I hadn’t missed in my time at ND.
I can’t remember, was it really true they told him not to play “Only the Good Die Young”? Not that I doubt it for a second, but who was it specifically?
And what were they going to do, have him arrested?
The funny thing is that the song is really pretty mild compared to many other songs played by bands in those days at ND, but of course those songs didn’t contain the words “Catholic girls”. My God, they showed a completely uncut “Last Tango in Paris” in the Engineering Auditorium.
He also had a song during which he played every instrument in the band.
We’re going to see him at MSG in May. I’ve seen him here in Baltimore but I’ve heard he’s even better at MSG so I’m really excited about it.
put on a great show.
Surprisingly funny in between songs
from a company skybox. Free, so i'm not really complaining!
Horizon in 1993. My parents went to the 1st MSG residency show and loved it.
He always puts on a good show.
Really enjoyed the show.
