Legendary songwriter and recording artist Billy Joel performed in front of 37,000 fans on Friday night in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. It was Joel’s seventh appearance at the Dome atop the Syracuse University Hill.He was every bit the elder statesman of a songwriter you would expect him to be, hammering away on his grand piano, dishing out New York flavored melodies and joking about ex-wives and years gone by.– Review by Chris Baker of Syracuse.com

Add Billy Joel to the list of musicians in their sixties who've still got it. AMAZING show last night! Glad I crossed this one off the list!
