There was no warm up act and Billy Joel came on stage shortly after 8:00 PM. From there it was pretty much non-stop entertainment of the highest caliber. He interacted with the audience, kept the mood light and full of humor. Our tickets were up in the nosebleed section and we were beside the stage. This wasn't too bad since the piano was set up so he was facing us. To make it better for the audience, the piano was on a turntable so he would spin the piano around ever so often so everyone got a good look at him playing.

The rest of the night was all Billy Joel and it was incredible. The only thing I hoped for, but didn't get, was new verses of "We Didn't Start the Fire" but that is probably for the better. It was nice to have a couple hours away from politics and the Appalachian Trail and I left the concert a little bit renewed.
Photos of the concert can bee seen in my 2017-03-24 Billy Joel Concert, Pinnacle Bank Arena, Lincoln, NE Google Photos album.
