Live in Miami (2017)
|
Summary (Fiction, there is no such album) In 2017, Billy played a sold-out concert at Miami's American Airlines Arena. Like many New Yorkers, Billy had made Miami his winter retirement home and had a loyal following of ex-New Yorker fans in Miami. Of course, 41 years earlier Billy had penned "Miami (2017)" a fictional tale of an old man or woman telling his or her grandchild about the day the lights went out on Broadway due to an attack on New York, destroying New York, and forcing its residents to settle in Florida ("before we all moved here to Florida, before the Mafia, took over Mexico"). Billy had several special guests at the concert, which was recorded and put out on a DVD. His guests included Gloria Estefan, a Miami legend, Arturo Sandoval, the Allman Brothers Band surviving members, Tom Petty, Lady Gaga, and others. At 68 years old, Billy performed like he was in his 30s, wowing the audience with his acrobatics and antics. Billy in concert (2009). Photo by Brent Schumacher. Click photo for link.
