Listening Report: Billy Joel’s Vinyl Collection Boxed Set – The Live Concert
Billy’s comfort with the audience and stage humor is evident as he banters with the crowd. And as he sometimes would do live, he pepper’s the show with comic covers. This round he pulls off a particularly great spoof of Joe Cocker’s take on “You Are So Beautiful” which was topping the charts around that time…

​Beyond the performance, what gets me is the quality of this recording.  Billy Joel Live At The Great American Music Hall 1975 sounds terrific!  The vinyl pressing is excellent and very quiet which is so important in this show which has many hushed points including bits of near silence between Billy’s stage banter
