Just saw KISS because my buddy had free tickets. I was skeptical about 70 year old dudes jumping around in clown makeup but they absolutely rocked it. They put on an awesome show.

Reverend Horton Heat and The Blasters, Pershing Square, downtown LA. This is the third time I've seen The Rev in the past year. He always kills it live, definitely worth seeing if he's in town.

Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica at US Bank Stadium. It was a fantastic way to break in the new stadium.

I think my last show was Foo Fighters concert back home in San Diego, think it was at SDSU actually, and it was awesome.

I don't go to concerts like ever, but the last one I went to was Billy Joel at AT&T Park last year (first appearance in SF in quite a few decades).

Did he do "We Didnt Start The Fire"

Love that song

Always seemed like he would be a fun live show

It's been about a year now so I will blank out on many of the songs he played, but he definitely performed that song. My mom is a big Billy Joel fan, and her fandom has carried over to me (though not quite as big haha, that would be impossible).

Others I can remember are:

- Piano Man
- My Life
- Uptown Girl
- The Entertainer
- Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
- Big Shot
- She's Always a Woman
- You May Be Right
- New York State of Mind
- It's Still Rock & Roll to Me
- The Ballad of Billy the Kid
- Keeping the Faith
- No Man's Land
- Sometimes a Fantasy
- Vienna
- Don't Ask Me Why

That's probably only half the setlist too. He did a couple of covers here and there, and conjoined some songs as medleys.

As far as live performances go, Piano Man was magical. He got the crowd to turn on their phone lights and wave them, and even one part when he had the crowd sing the chorus really just felt like all of San Francisco was together as one unit for a brief moment in time, no other worry in the world. He's good, and even though getting up there in age still could put on a great show.

EDIT: I was disappointed however that he didn't play The Longest Time or In the Middle of the Night.

Pat Benatar/Neil Geraldo sharing the bill with Melissa Etheridge.

I didn't realize how talented of a guitarist Etheridge is, wow.

In the mid 90's I saw the Piano Men tour with Elton John and Billy Joel. Billy was more the entertainer vs Elton. Billy knew Richard Marx was in the audience and he did one of his songs. Don't get me wrong, I love Elton's music, but, after each song, he would get up from his stool and flex his muscles to the crowd and not have much banter between songs.

Billy talked to the audience and this was at County Stadium, the old Brewers stadium.

Re: Last concert you been to?

I saw KISS for the 5th time in my life (first time was 1997) on their Freedom To Rock tour in Moline, IL earlier this month. I had floor seats with a buddy and it was great. They sounded better then the last time I saw them and the entire show was amazing from start to finish. Paul flew right over us on his way to the back stage to play Love Gun which was probably 35 feet from us.

The opening act was Caleb Johnson from American Idol a few years ago. He wasn't bad and reminded me of a young Meatloaf.

Really fun night and seeing KISS never gets old as they are my favorite band.
