I have seen Billy in a bunch of concerts and never had a complaint about my seats or the content of his shows until Weds night at Shea. My family and I were sitting all the way down the thrid base line in the nosebleeds. When I bought the tickets online those were what was available and I was stoked, knowing that somehow Billy and his people were going to conquor the task of getting quality sound all over the stadium. It didn't happen. The fact that we could not hear a lot of what was going on was frustrating and frankly I thought the road crew woud have done a better job with sound checks because there were so many people in these sections, some actually left and that was totally their loss. Overlooking these minor flaws in the concert I had an amazing time. Being able to watch my absolutely FAVORITE singer in the home of my very favorite METS was a natural high, a great rush. This man can perform with flair, finesse and some attitude which I love. This man went on for hours and he kept you guessing about who was coming out. The ultimate experience for me at any Billy concert is when the crowd sings so loud in unison that it drowns him out! 63,000 people singing the same song was unbelievable. Billy had fans who were young and fans who were much much older. His music spans decades and his appeal is almost universal. I pray that I will again see Billy in concert again......SOOOOOONNNNN.

Billy went out of his way to put on a great show. The show had great song selection, great guests and I am sure most of the fans had a memorable time. That is except those of us sitting in seats in the upper decks towards the stage. The concert was an exercise in frustration. There was no visible screen so you could not see anything. The speakers were set up incorrectly. You could not understand a single word Billy said. At best you sort of could hear which song was being sung but it was little more than noise. When we walked to portals facing the stage you got a brief glimpse at what a spectacular show it was but all too quickly you were sent back to your seats by security. Thus, we got to watch other people enjoy a great show.

I am sure this was not what Billy intended as he worked hard for a truly memorable experience. Please fix this before the next show. Perhaps, he could put on one more show and invite those of us who came to the fist show but did not get to hear or see it.

It was an amazing show last night, with the guest performers, Billy playing all the crowd faves, but the jumbo screens were HORRIBLE and whatever we were looking at was OFF to what we heard. Everyone in the upper deck felt like we were experiencing an old school Godzilla Movie.
But, despite the technical difficulties, the concert was one to remember and Joel can perform a great show! He actually SINGS, unlike other music stars that go on tour.
Wish I had tixs for tomorrow night too!
