One of the great things about living in the bay area is the concert scene here. I grew up going to several concerts. I love them. Evan does too. It is the best date for us! I wish we did it more often. We were lucky to have great seats at the Billy Joel concert on Saturday night. We were the youngest ones there, but still enjoyed ourselves. The lady sitting next to me said, (after asking how old we were) "Your parents sure taught you well." She was impressed that Evan and I were singing the songs outloud and that we were just as excited as the rest of the 5o something year old crowd. What a fun time we had! Joel delivered a wonderful 2 and half hour concert that balanced his fan friendly hits with lesser known tracks. He played a lot of the sing along classics like "We didn't start the fire," "An Innocent Man," "Its still rock n roll to me," "My life," "New York State of Mind," "Only the Good Die Young," and many many more. He of course ended the show by encoring with "Piano Man". We loved it and had a great time, even if we were the young kids there.

That's awesome! We love Billy Joel too!! Sounds like you had a great time-
Man, you guys are so lucky. I would love to see him in concert!
so fun - i am singing along just with the thought of piano man!
How fun for you guys! I love concerts. Have you ever seen the Horatio Sanz impression of Billy Joel on SNL? Kind of funny. Anyway, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I went to an Eric Clapton concert one time & it was a similar experience. A wide variety of ages there.
That sounds awesome. I guess I would have been one the young ones singing along as well!
I loved Billy Joel when I was younger! At one point I actually wanted to have his children :) (how geeky am I?) I used to listen to his album while I did my chores on Saturdays ... which is probably why Miriam would be able to sing along at the concert. Anyway, I'm sure it was a great show. I have always loved his music, mostly his old stuff. It takes me back ... ahhh, the joys of childhood!
Sounds like a good time.
I remember watching Brooke dance to Billy Joel when she was 10 at the Gums.
