I went to the Billy Joel and Elton John concert over spring break with my mom who has seen them once before and it was AMAZING! It was without a doubt one of the better concerts I have been to. I was absolutley shocked at how extremely talented they both are at playing the piano. It was a pretty long concert too, which rocked. They first played together with their pianos facing towards eachother and then Elton John played solo for about an hour followed by Billy Joel who played for around the same length of time solo as well. After they each played solo, they played together again and closed the show with piano man, one of my favorites! Billy Joel was actually pretty funny too, much better stage presence than Elton John, but Elton John's voice and piano playing spoke for itself. At one point during the concert Billy Joel got on top of his piano, belly down, and spun himself around. He also spun the microphone stand around and wasn't very successful at it...he dropped it, but it was still awesome to see him do that. Billy Joel was aslo quite the jokester.
The concert was so amazing, they pretty much played all their greatest hits and it was so awesome to hear them play and sing their songs together. Elton John's voice is wonderful and I'm so glad I got the chance to see him and Billy Joel in concert together!

i forgot to mention that billy joel's piano would randomly rotate in the middle of his performance so that the audience who were looking at the back of his head could now see him from the front
