Billy Joel - Vocals, Piano & Keyboard
For decades Billy Joel has been visiting colleges and theaters performing lectures/master classes.
This one was recorded in London in 1993 and is among the best lecture recordings in existence...sound quality-wise.
Most of them are poor audience recordings, but this one is a crisp soundboard recording. He answers questions about
his music, his career and the music business. He also performs a few songs, mainly from River of Dreams,
the album he was promoting at the time. It is a fun listen. Enjoy!
