On the second evening of the Festival am Brill, Elton and the Joels set the park alight with a musical fireworks display, covering the greatest hits of Elton John and Billy Joel. Hundreds of spectators – including Mayor Luc Feller, Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette and members of the town council – were carried away by the atmosphere.
From Crocodile Rock to Piano Man, I’m Still Standing and Uptown Girl, the hits just kept on coming. Charisma, energy and complicity with the audience revived the magic of these two legends.
The musical association of the “Rocket Man” and the “Piano Man” was not insignificant: in the 1990s, Elton John and Billy Joel shared the stage several times on joint tours. Together, they sold over 450 million records.
