EP 043 - Concert Classics: Thunder Road - Live in Miami, 1977
Manage episode 315450450 series 3266238
The fact that a Billy Joel bootleg is named after a Bruce Springsteen song should clue in the listener that this show’s a little different from what you may expect.
Recorded at Maurice Gusman Concert Hall in Miami, FL on October 31, 1977, Thunder Road isn’t a radical change from the Billy we know. But, there’s a big focus on a part of live act that never quite made it onto official records.
It’s his skill at impersonating other musicians -- both their playing and their personalities -- that shine at this show.
This recording also captures a curious moment in Billy’s career. It’s at the beginning of the Stranger tour, just before the record broke wide open and made Billy a household name.
The show is more streamlined than recordings from a few years prior, but not quite as realized as his performances would be in just a few more months. It also features a temporary lineup with a short-lived guitar player.
Join us as we dive deep into a show from Billy Joel on the eve of superstardom.
