Hey Jerold, Thanks for sharing. He is getting old … The MSG experience is mind-blowing. He has so, so many great hits and unlike Elton John — I saw them together at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando with Elaine in AUG 1994 — each of his hits has a different sound. So, so talented in so many ways. Elaine died on 20 NOV 1994.

with love, a

ps: we also saw Meat Loaf that same summer.

I was also fortunate to see him four times! The Forum in Inglewood for the Glass Houses tour (WOW what an opening with Glass Houses!), the old L.A. Sports Arena where we were graced with the fine guitar accompaniment of Slash, on campus at Arizona State for what I think was the Nylon Curtain tour, and then at the Honda Center in Anaheim. In fact it was there in Anaheim where he reminded us all of our stage in life and his age when he said after his opening song “Hi, I’m Billy’s DAD”! LOL! Just wanted to remind us all how long he had been around and then went on to do a great show. I can only dream of seeing him at MSG!

My three favorite songs are The Stranger, Big Shot and Piano Man.

Thanks again for bringing up these artists and the blog!
