Billy Joel Delivers Hits to 17,000 Fans At The Palace From The Detroit News

Auburn Hills - It was a night of family sing-alongs at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Saturday night , as Billy Joel filled more than 17,000 fans at home to the Detroit Pistons for a celebration in the catalog of the singer of pop hits .
That 's what happens with Joel : Do not bore your fans with new material because it has no new material which gave birth . The latest song is Joel exploded during its 23 songs, 1 hour 50 minutes of play was "The River of Dreams " , the title track of his latest album Pop , who last year turned 20 years old. So there was no excuse for you to go to the bathroom on Saturday, it was just shock , the way you remember them .
There are pros and cons to this style of presentation. On the plus side , the program delivered a song that imperturbable know by heart catalog , the songs I've done on vinyl, cassette and CD . And there's something to be said for the comfort of a straight with your feet in the middle by a band playing so straight with feet in the median that its members include drummer Joel Broadway musical "Movin 'Out" presentation (Chuck Burgi ) and the leader of a Billy Joel tribute band ( guitarist and vocalist Mike Delguidice ) .
And there were some curve balls into the mix , too: He spoke this tour would find the 64 - year-old excavation rarities and jewels unannounced in his career, and made to dust " Vienna " from " The Stranger " and 1982 " to the Room of Our Own" and 1980 " Sometimes a Fantasy " .
The cons ? Sometimes the show plays very simple things, like when the band paid tribute to the Beatles with a fully generic reading of the Beatles " Can not Buy Me Love" , or when Joel serenaded Detroit with obvious choices " heard it through the grapevine, " " Dancin 'in the Street " and " Old Time rock and Roll . "Nobody can criticize those options, but the readings brought nothing new to the table .
