And the forecast calls for high winds and rain, however, I went to the store and purchased some rain gear, i.e Rain Ponchos etc and the temperature will be 64 degrees, so sweatshirt weather and rain gear. I'm looking forward to this because I paid back in January, $625.00 a piece and got 2 tickets and I'm taking my sister who showed more interest in this then my friend Carol, but that's all good too!! I'm sitting behind 3rd Base which is very close to the stage it sounds like? Hopefully, it doesn't get rescheduled til next year because of the rain, these guys aren't getting any younger and time is not on their side.. 😎🙏

Hope you have a super time and that the weather holds up.

I saw Billy Joel a few years ago and he was excellent.

I haven’t seen Sting solo, but I saw The Police who were very good.

I saw Billy Joel a few years ago and he was excellent.

Are you sure he didn't crash into the event?

Well it is Friday night, so….

There was a hilarious Saturday Night Live skit where Lindsay Lohan hosted and they spoofed Joel's car accident. I can't find a link, and I don't remember who played Billy Joel, he's driving a bunch of teenage girls somewhere and they have no idea who he is...

[–] samoanjoes (57055) 3 months ago

I'm sure the skit ended with a bang.

According to Dave Murray with FOX Local Weather, there is going to be rain and high winds, but the show will go on, so that's why I prepared for this by purchasing rain gear at the Sporting Good store by me, DICK SPORTS. 2 Rain Ponchos came to $18.00 and it's worth it to stay even a little bit dry. Temperature will be 62 and sweatshirt weather. Belt out the Hits Billy and as for STING, It depends on which STING were getting I suppose?? STING goes on at 7PM and Billy Joel at 9PM.

Also, 4 miles from Busch Stadium will be a 2 Day Concert Festival titled "EVOLUTION FEST" and will feature Billy Idol, The Counting Crows and many others to tie up 2 days and it's being held in Forest Park

Billy Joel is a pop hack. Sting is a legend.

[–] BillHicksFan (10613) 3 months ago

Everyone calls Billy Joel a hack; something I've heard/read many times in the last few years... Styx, too

Is it strictly 80's Joel music?

[–] BKB (10096) 3 months ago

A wide variety of 70's, 80's and 90's I suppose. This is a timeless classic I want him to play from the 70's:

A little Billy Joel goes a long way with me, I never bought any of his records, but I did purchase the iTunes for "Only The Good Die Young."

I have been pissed off because I really like his new song "Turn The Lights Back On" and I've only heard it like 3 times on broadcast radio. I frickin' hear Journey "Don't Stop Believin' 3 times an hour! I don't buy digital music anymore, with my wife and kids and all their iPhones my songs migrate or disappear... first world problems.

My second favorite Billy Joel song is probably "Uptown Girl" but I'm probably biased because I watched the video with Christie Brinkley a thousand times...

Enjoy the show.

[–] BKB (10096) 3 months ago

He will definitely sing Uptown Girl for certain. In the meantime the Karaoke singer for Journey has posted a Poll online to determine if fans want him gone or not due to him having a particularly bad performance in Rio. At this point, without Steve Perry, it's Journey in name only

The last "expensive" concert I saw was Elton John at the Fabulous Forum in L.A. in 1992. I think tickets were $80 each and he was awful. My wife and I walked out after 30 minutes.

One website says $80 in 1992 would be $178 in 2024...

This summer I paid $60 a ticket to see Adam Ant with The English Beat and I thought that was too much... the missus had reconnected with an old high school alum girlfriend so I went... the girlfriend was pretty hot (for late 50's...) I saw The English Beat (WITH Ranking Roger) for free at Hollywood Park Race Track (now SoFi stadium) This was circa 2012/2013.

It has just been announced that the Billy Joel & Sting Concert for tonight at Busch Stadium has been postponed until Sunday night at the same time, 7PM due to high winds and heavy rain. Thank God!!! All day, I've been biting my lip at the thought of sitting in the rain watching this, even with rain ponchos on, but still.
