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
