 Rating:  - the stranger cd dvd setvery dissapointed advertised as a 3cd and 1 dvd set deluxe edition received a 2 cd 1 dvd set 5 stars for quality of the musis and dvd have contacted amazon about this but have had no reply from them for future purchases will wait till available in shop before i purchase. Rating: - Billy Joel at his best. The Stranger is Billy Joels best album. The live CD of him at Carnegie Hall sounds excellent. Hearling Billy and his band perform songs from the Stranger before it was released is amazing. The DVD of Billy in concert in his prime is great, although I wished there was more songs included. I really enjoyed hearing Billy and Phil Ramone discussing how the Stranger came about and the stories behind the classic songs. Rating: - The piece de resistance of the celebration of Billy Joel's breakthrough fifth albumNew York native Billy Joel released his fifth album The Stranger in November of 1977. Prior to The Stranger, Billy was almost seen as a pop one-hit wonder thanks to the title track from his 1973 album Piano Man (despite the fact FM rock stations played "Captain Jack" and "New York State of Mind").

I'm a huge fan, but I never trafficked much in the "extras" that were available. This release adds two wonderful discs to my collection. Having been a fan so long, it was awesome to see 1970s Billy talking, playing, and singing. I love Mark Rivera but had missed seeing sax virtuoso Richie Cannata with the band. What a joy! Rating: - A classic album receives a proper celebrationThere are some albums that appear to be instant classics as soon as they are released. In 1978 "The Stranger" was everywhere. Living on Long Island in a town very close to Hicksville Billy Joel seemed more like an older brother to all of my friends and family than a rock star. The music of The Stranger was all over the radio, playing inside of every house I visted, including my own, and playing overhead wherever I went. I have always been amazed at the fact that every song on this album ... Read More |
