Live is Live

Last Friday night we sang along to Billy Joel at a concert in Hyde Park, London. It was perfect in every way: a performer (who rarely ever performs outside of NYC) in absolutely great form, all the hits of our teenage days we still know the words to, glorious weather and a well-behaved crowd (65.000 people). All going well, we have two more concert to look forward to this summer, both by bands of a similar demographic than Billy Joel, who's 74 years of age, so there's this something melancholic about these performances as you can't help thinking that this is probably the last time you'll get to see them perform live...
