Alexa Ray Joel performed a series of shows at the Plaza Hotel, in its famed Oak Room at the end of 2010. The new season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” created an episode that integrated Alexa’s performance into the storyline, featuring a new song she wrote called “All I Can Do.”

In the next video from our Q&A session in Nuremberg, Germany, Billy was asked if he was planning a musical or an opera. The session, which took place in 1995, was several years before the Broadway musical "Movin' Out" was created, so Billy discussed the difficulty in writing songs while on tour. His answer also included a full performance of "Honesty." Watch this clip and other videos from our Billy Joel "Questions & Answers" lecture series!

Paul McCartney’s On The Run Tour kicked off at Yankee Stadium this past weekend for 2 sold-out nights, Friday July 15th and Saturday July 16th.

With this week’s Q&A we are beginning a new series, pulling from a very special lecture that was staged in Nuremberg, Germany on June 4th, 1995. In this first clip, Billy performs “Souvenir” from his album “Streetlife Serenade,” and describes the nature of the program.

One Stop on the Storm Front Tour

It was twenty-one years ago, June 22nd & 23rd, 1990, hot Friday and Saturday nights, when the Storm Front Tour touched down at the old Yankee Stadium. With the local weather on his side, Billy played 2 sold-out nights, which were filmed and later released on home video. As heard on every radio station in the tri-state area, “The house that Ruth built was about to Rock!” It was the longest tour in Billy’s career. The tour began at the Worcester Centrum Centre, on December 6, 1989, achieving its finale in Mexico City at the Palacio De Los Deportes, on March 24th, 1991. Enjoy these clips from our archives.
