I’ve been really into the Billy Joel 12 Concerts Live. It’s a compilation of the current tour he’s on, where he mostly played his favorites, even though some of them weren’t necessarily hits. I saw three of those shows at the Garden, and they were amazing. He hasn’t sounded this good in a decade. And the 12 Concerts Live is really, really good.

My only disappointments were that he didn’t include that awesome version they played of Highway to Hell, when his roadie "Chainsaw" did the vocals. It was so cool. And he also didn’t include Pressure on the live album, which has always been my favorite Billy Joel song. And I would have loved had he played Easy Money on the tour, which I’ve never heard him do live. Oh well.
But really check out the horn sections. He’s got two saxophones going during a bunch of songs, and it’s great.
