 M> Not too many performers are close to being as talented as him. My partner
 M> and I flew to L.A. a couple years ago just to see him at Dodger Stadium. We
 M> were late bloomers so we were in the nosebleeds. Between the Dodger Dogs,
 M> the beer, and his show, we were in heaven.

Saw Joel at a stadium concert in Ottawa in the 80's. The stage was rigged up on one of the broad sides of the arena. My two seats were at the far narrow end, an upper tier to Joel's left. It was not particularly good seating so high and far away. I could barely appreciate the visual entertainment. Joel *did* acknowledge the audiences at the far wings a few times. But following that experience I swore I would never go to another arena concert unless I could be a few feet from the stage. I had a pair of binoculars with me. But I would rather look through the glass of a TV set than a pair of binoculars.
