the review from the Billy Joel website says it all:
"I knew even before we got into the Dome that this was gonna be a great show-there were 12 semis and 10 tour buses in the loading dock. Unless Pink Floyd is coming to town, you usually don't see this many production & touring vehicles all in one venue.
The sound was pefect and the light show was nothing short of spectacular. What else would you expect from Elton John & Billy Joel. My estimation is there was more than a million dollars worth of lighting alone, not to mention the sound & multimedia systems they used.
Elton was great, but I think Billy stole the show by warming up the crowd with his good-natured humor and jokes and ad-lib. He introduced all his bandmates one at a time after each song. My favorite song was River of Dreams, where, mid-song, he inseted a rockin' tune about the Fargo sandbaggers- before finishing River of Dreams. This guy can still ROCK, he still "has it"! Amazed me how fast he can still play those keys! Also liked Elton's 15 minute version of Rocket Man (Awesome use of the echoplex!!!) The best damn show I've gotten to see in a LONG time!!!! WORTH the money-and who knows if we'll ever get to see these guys again!!!
A legendary concert at the Fargodome."
Enjoy and share the music!
