Billy Joel History
When Billy Joel was young and his parents put him into piano lessons, he was less than enthused but, as the child of a classical pianist, he had to give it a chance. Before long, everyone could see that the child truly had a gift for playing piano and he began playing at piano bars in the area where he lived. One of these engagements ran late night and, as a result, Joel slept through an exam he needed to take to graduate from high school. Since Columbia University was clearly not in his future, he began pursuing Columbia Records instead and signed to the label in 1973.
Over the years, Billy Joel has been known for his action packed live concerts and many of them have actually made history, but none quite like his 1987 Russia concerts. These concerts made Billy Joel one of the first American musicians to travel to Russia since The Berlin Wall was put up. He played three shows in Leningrad as well as three shows in Moscow, all while recording a hugely successful live album. In addition to playing many favorites from his own catalogue, he played the poignant rock classics "Back In The USSR" and "The Times They Are A'Changin."
After struggling with his personal life for many years, Billy Joel seriously considered retiring from the music industry. To mark his departure from music, he played a New Year's Eve concert at Madison Square Garden in 1999. The concert, which ran for four long hours, was recorded and released under the title 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert.
Billy Joel fans around the world were thrilled to find that The Millennium Concert was not, in fact, his last. Since then, he has gone on tour several times with Elton John as part of the Face To Face concert series. The shows were widely attended around the world and became the most successful tandem concert in the history of popular music.
