Billy Joel + John Digweed = Fun Weekend

So, Saturday night was a fun evening.  We had great seats for the Billy Joel concert and our friends at Mass in Gangnam put on a great night with John Digweed.

 

One of my favorite concert moments ever happened at the Billy Joel concert.

 

At the start, it was your standard floor seating with everyone being pretty calm.  Then, Billy saw a group of people who looked like they wanted to come dance in front of the stage, so he waved them over. A group of mainly foreigners made their way to the front and that started a flood of other people. Before you knew it, there was a big group of people rockin' at the stage.

 

Then, a couple of songs later, when they were playing "In the Middle of the Night" the Korean staff were instructed to get everyone back to their seats. So, they started to do so and everyone was nice about following the orders....except Billy Joel. In the middle of the song, he completely stops, gets up from the piano, music stops, and he gives a "What the hell is going on?" and waves everyone back to the front of the stage. The crowd goes nuts, everyone comes back and even more people make their way to the stage.  He sits back down and keeps rockin' in the middle of the song.  The whole arena at this point just gets up and goes crazy and everyone is on their feet for the rest of the show.  Great moment of "what the hell are you doing, this is a rock concert!"
