Piano man pounds out tunes
for enthusiastic Summit crowd
By JAMES M. LOVE
Rock’n’roll veteran Billy Joel had an audience of all
ages dancing in the aisles and begging for more during
Friday night’s sold out performance in the Houston
Summit.
The Piano Man hammered out his Storm Front tour
for the audience with an incredible warmth that gave
his music a personal touch that seemed to affect every
one there.
The show was the first of an unusual two-night split
which will be followed by another performance
Wednesday.
Dressed in a black jacket and black jeans, Joel deliv
ered an awesome two hour and twenty minute show de
spite a less than excellent sound mix.
He opened with his latest title track Storm Front,
however, it was soon clear that his show was not just an
other album promotion. For most of the concert, Joel
reached deep into his pocket of old tunes and pulled up
gems like “Scenes from an Italian Restuarant,” “Movin’
Out,” “Pressure,” “Allentown,” “Keepin’ the Faith” and
“Summer Highland Falls.”
Joel surprised the audience seated behind the stage
by arranging two keyboards at each rear corner. Two of
his first three songs where played facing them. After
this he brought them cheering to their feet by saying,
“Those seats back there turned out to be better than
you thought, huh.”
With his new band, Joel reminded everyone that his
material needs no super props or incredible choreogra-
tn
clear at the expense of Milli Vanilli by doing a shortilj
where he lipsynced a hilarious version ofoneoftht
songs and imitated a dance he called “Billy Vanilli.'’lt
ended by saying, “At least they do their own dancing
Immediately following this, he stopped playingintl
middle of “Summer Highland Falls” and furablt
through music scores looking for the right lyricsati
said, “This is just so you know we ain’t lipsyncing this
One of the highlights was his new song “I Go tot
tremes.” Joel banged out an incredible solo thatij
eluded bouncing his rear-end down the keys of
grand piano and still managing to keep time.
From the beginning, the excitement built to a®
scendo. It was not long before people were up aj
dancing and virtually everyone came to their feetattl
sound of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Here, Joel dantt
and banged on his grand piano and even hungupsi
down from it while singing.
This was the bet
^ginning
hausted Billy Joel who weakly crawed back out (
of several encores and anti
phy to make it worth seeing. He made this especially
stage and hoisted himself up to a keyboard foranofe
tune.
The show ended with the bar song “Piano Man.”J(|
strapped his harmonica around his neck and sat do*
to play one last time. By then, the Summit wasalivev:
adulation, and everyone began to sing along with hi
Joel suddenly noticed this and seemed surprised by
participation. He then stopped playing and lettheautj
ence sing the last verse a cappelfa.
I was truly sorry it had to end. I hope he comesbai;
soon.
