I have seen zillions of this disc at Lechmere. I haven't bought one
yet.

I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool Billy Joel fan, so correct me if I'm
wrong, but are we talking about the live recording of the Moscow
performance? (I think the English translation of the album title
is just "Concert"). If so then I'll carry on......
Lechmere was where I got mine, and it's pretty good. The disc lasts
~70 minutes, has 16 songs on it (13 are Billy Joel originals, plus
a Russian folk a cappella song "Odoya" (not sung by Billy!), and two
Joel covers, one is "Back in the USSR" (Beatles) and the other is
"The Times They Are A'changin" (Bob Dylan). The only badly performed
song is a rather ham-fisted rendition of "A Matter Of Trust", which is
when his piano-playing ability and his voice seem to fail at the same
time. Well worth the money though. Particularly since I got mine
for half what it costs in the UK....heh heh.
Ian!
P.s. The live version of "Big Man On Mulberry Street" on this disc
is *excellent*

I'm pleased to see this one being discussed....I did see a tv special
about Billy Joel's Russian tour awhile ago. I'm sure this disk
is worth adding to your collection.....he's just grrrrrrrrrreat
in concert (I saw him at Boston Garden a few years ago).
My suggestion in the Greater Maynard area is Strawberries at Sudbury
Crossing on Rte 20.
Happy shopping!!

re: .2
Billy plays guitar on "A Matter of Trust" (trust me, I saw him do
it live, and it says so on the album). He also plays guitar on "The
Times They Are A-Changin'".
