音樂:Billy Joel 香港 "拉濶"

尋晚去咗睇 Billy Joel 喺機場開 show,比預期中好,但係個場啲音響真係麻麻,又鬼死咁遠,如果唔係 fan 都唔會去。阿 Billy 哥都近 60,把聲重 keep 得好好,中氣重好夠,有啲位唱到好似聽緊唱片,而且唔似有啲歌手要降低幾個 keys 唱 live;佢隊 band 更加正,尤其係吹 horn session 嗰三位,其中有個好多 saxophone solo;阿 Billy 哥都唱得好 high,成日喺啲歌前面加啲好玩嘢嘅 piano 引子搞氣氛。

佢揀啲歌比較 rock,我諗有啲一心想聽佢啲中慢板冧歌班會有啲失望,而且有啲大 hits 都無玩,但係返而有啲驚喜,好似隻 Zanzibar,喺佢 1978 年出嗰隻 52nd Street 入面,現場玩佢加咗好多 jazz jamming,啲樂手都玩得好放,超正,另外係隻 Don't Ask Me Why,係 Glasshouse 隻碟入面最唔流行嘅一首好短嘅單曲,現場佢加咗好多新 elements 住玩 jam,又玩得好好聽。返而其他啲中快 rock "飲歌",好似 Pressure、River of Dream 同 We Didn'd Start the Fire 就只算 OK。

都叫聽佢啲歌長大,可能都唔會再有機會睇佢唱 live。以下係我記得尋晚個 set list,可能會有啲錯,不過唔會差幾多。
