I saw him back in 2000 when supposedly he was having some issues with his voice, but not on the night I saw him, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
Check out Billy Joel’s recent interview on Howard Stern....its in 6 parts and is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxw1WV_qmVk
He had already lost part of his range by the late Eighties. On his tour of the Soviet Union, he had a backup singer sing the high notes on “Innocent Man” because he couldn’t hit them anymore.
That said, the live album he released from one of those concerts is one of the best live albums I’ve ever heard.
They (Billy & Elton) came through Denver last summer, but I got the dates wrong! Was soooooo mad at myself!
