I think this is the best live album personally - I think maybe because it was the first one I got. I love the Millinum concert, and 12 Gardens; but what make s The russian concert so great is how he does Stiletto, Big Man and Baby Grand - 3 of his most awesome songs right there back to back. He's over the top and that's exactly when he is at his best. I love it!!
Plus I think that it's cool that he starts it with the Russian Odoya, at first I wasn't sure what that was, but I thinkit's great that he tried to learn their culture, not just go there to entertain. And I like actually hearing the translations when he speaks. I knew a little russian, then I learned a little more when listening to this album. I'm a geek, but so what I still love Billy Joel's Music!
