Actually, I,m a big music fan period. I,ve been a Billy Joel fan, for quite some time now. This is the first time I,ve bought anything from Amazon. I bought this collection used for less than twenty dollars. New, this thing is like forty five. What I got was three discs in great condition, no scratches, no skips, I,m impressed. The collection itself. The only downside is the fact that the sound quality on both the dvds and cds is not outstanding. But the behind the scenes, and early concert footage, of a young Billy Joel, makes up for the shortcomings. Must have for any Billy Joel fan. Enjoy!.


Decent box set but...


This isn't as massive as the Pearl Jam reissue, but includes a journal and a poster of the Carnegie Hall concert which was pretty cool. I think the OGWT performance should've been included in "My Lives".

The documentary is pretty short, I just watched Springsteen's "Born to Run" and fortunately there was a lot filmed and video recorded. This was a short doc on the making of and once you've seen it, that's it.

I guess there must have been a coin toss between which show they were going to include, the live at Nassau radio concert, or the Carnegie Hall recording. I know there's complaints about some songs cut out (not sure which ones), but I think the listener should be putting it up against "Songs in the Attic" (hopefully will get a Legacy overhaul), because there are songs here that aren't on there. It's nice to have "Prelude/Angry Young Man" live. It does have a healthy dose of "Turnstiles" plus a great "Captain Jack". "She's Got A Way" and "The Entertainer", but strangely no "Piano Man".

Billy hasn't played theaters in ages and it just makes you wish he would have kept playing theater shows here and there, even at his commercial zenith in the 80s.

There's a lot they could've included, demos, a couple of other concerts that were recorded around the same time (even Muzikladen footage should've been included) but for someone who wants to see and hear him and the band playing songs like "Scenes" to people who hadn't heard it yet, this is worth getting. .


Billy Joel 30th Anniversary of The Stranger Album
This special 3oth Anniversary rerelease of Billy Joel's The Stranger Album will bring back a tidal wave of great growing up memories of the late 70's.


A Memory Improved!
The remastering
only improved the quality of the product!
. I was in college when this album was released and it
convinced me of the genius of Joel.


The Stranger
I am a teacher and one of the classes I teach is "The History of Popular Music" and another is 'Beginner Piano. I watched this documentary on PBS and was so enthralled with it I ordered it. ' I showed this documentary to students in both classes.

As a (music) history teacher I feel it is important for students to appreciate the roots of music history. It is also a great way for students to be exposed to music legends.

As a piano teacher I was very impressed with Billy Joel's playing of "Root Beer Rag. " I have never heard it before and watching him play it on the piano was equally impressive. I wanted my piano students to see how fast his hands played as well as hear the music. .
