Billy Joel — “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant”
July 23, 2009
I have just always loved this song. Billy once said that he was heavily influenced by Abbey Road when writing “SFAIR”. I can kind of see that too.

Nestled in the heart of urban Atlanta, Lakewood Ampitheatre was the site of this monster, space funk show. This was one of those shows that was truly a treat. I was at the show with some of my best college friends and then happened to run into some of my closest friends whom I hadn’t seen in ages by sheer coincidence. A great show that featured a monster “Ghost” and a killer “Y.E.M.” that swung into the Joe Walsh classic rock fave “Rocky Mountain Way”. The funk at this show was so deep that you needed galoshes.
