NOTE: Maybe it was
Action Bronson sampling “Zanzibar” (and paying for it with Mark Ronson’s money)
or the shook-up goodwill from Plant’s set but I’d never been readier to give
Billy Joel a fair trial and luckily, his excellent re-evaluation barely
required one.
Joel kicked off with “My Life” and “Pressure,” which both share a
drive that splits the difference between Randy Newman and Steely Dan more than
any of the Tin Pan Alley stuff he’s more known for.
That is, he capped a
weekend of proudly professional winners with two hours of purely pleasurable
studio rock and late-night talk show-style patter and recurring gags, many
involving a flyswatter he brandished all evening.
He did a song from his very
first record (“I don’t even have a copy of that album”), and after playing
“She’s Always a Woman,” brusquely commented, “That was for one of my ex-wives.”
Not the complete show - missing
first track.
