That's right -- Billy Joel and Elton John will be bringing their dueling piano tour to the Scottrade Center on Thursday, May 14. No ticket prices yet, but I'm sure I'll get 'em today, because tickets go on sale later this week.
I saw Billy Joel during his millenium tour in 99. My wife made me go, and after that I was a fan for life. Billy Joel lives up to his name "the entertainer". It will be worth it to see him alone. Add in Elton John, and I hear that is one amazing show.
I was actually forced (by my lady) to go see this combo last time they came through town a few years ago.
I was quite surprised - Elton John totally stunk up the joint. He was super slow and bloated. All of his songs were sloppy and played at about 3/4 speed.
Billy Joel, on the other hand, rocked pretty hard. Not just for Billy Joel - he rocked like real-life rocked! Standing up on his stool and piano all all that general rock n' roll goofery.
Once is enough for me though, pleaseandthankyou.
