Billy Joel / Netherlands 03.05.1978 FM Broadcast Edition

This recording captures Billy Joel’s March 5th performance in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from his 1978 Euro Tour, which solidified his popularity. The audio is sourced from an FM broadcast master and is not complete, but it recreates a performance from the peak of his popularity and momentum, featuring hits from his album “The Stranger,” released the previous year, as well as plenty of his representative songs from his second solo album, “Piano Man,” and beyond. He also performed his first concert in Japan the following month, which included songs from “52nd Street,” released that autumn, so the setlist was slightly different, making this a valuable record and a must-listen for fans. 01.
