Read this on the Billy Joel board I'm a member of:
Billy Joel's Musical Director and guitar player for almost 20 years, Tommy Byrnes, said in a recent interview: "I'm riding the Billy moment until it falls off a cliff. And I think it's ever going to, because he's going stronger than ever now. We're starting in Asia at the end of October [2008], Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand. Then we break for Christmas, then we're doing five weeks in a Seminal reservation down in Hollywood, Florida. Then we go out with Elton for five weeks, then we break, then we go out for another five week run with Elton. So he's saying yes to a lot of work, which is really great."

OH YEAH OH YEAH *spontaneous ejaculation*
Seriously though, I'm seeing Elton's Red Piano show this December in Helsinki (unless he cancels it of course) but what I'd give (not money, don't have any) to see a F2F-tour gig (I got the impression they were not coming to Europe?). Oh well, there's always bootlegs :'(
Billy Joel and Elton John has been one of the best gigs I've been to.
Many of us have seen a great music legends act on stage, but 2 of them is worth every penny. They played over 30 songs for close to 3 hours!
I will be penniless with so many great gigs in 2009, including Metallica, Franz Ferdinand, Simply Red, Depeche Mode, and now this one.
