The Stranger Oct 19, 2008 I watched this documentary on PBS and was so enthralled with it I ordered it. I am a teacher and one of the classes I teach is "The History of Popular Music" and another is 'Beginner Piano.' 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.

30 Years of Billy Joel Oct 09, 2008 Good compilation from an artist that has proven talent, from an artist that has shown us what he is about. Includes "Moving Out", "Miami 2017". "Stranger", "She's Got A Way" and "New York State Of Mind" - Interestingly, in the 2008 Presidential Primary race, New York Senator Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, the denver group)
A Must for Every Billy Joel Fan! Sep 18, 2008 If you are a Billy Joel fan & do not have this set you MUST get it. The live performance at the Old Whistle..etc. is unique. You see Joel in his early years when he still was not the megastar he is today. He puts unbelievable energy into his performance. You can sense that he is still not secure but wants to impress. His sax player is also phenomenal musician, extremely versatile & talented. The reproduction of the notebook he used to write down lyrics is fascinating & gives the reader a sense for Joel's incredible creativity. All this & more, including a current interview with comments by Joel where he explains many of the hows & whys of what he did. Example, the Italian restaurant that inspired the song.

The Stranger the 30 year anniv Sep 10, 2008 the extras what makes it worth getting the concert and the movie dvd. How fast 30 years go. It seems like yesterday. I got the stranger long time ago on cd so its a duplicate but its different because of what was mentioned before the concert and dvd makes it better.
