Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What song is not on this album?

Answer: Piano Man

"Piano Man" was Billy Joel's first hit and has been his trade mark for over thirty years.

2. During what song did Billy prematurely introduce a guest musician?

Answer: My Life

I don't know who he was going to introduce but it is quite amusing to hear him talk to an imaginary manager, saying, "Oh, we don't want to bring him on? That's the next song. Oh, ok." Just one more time Billy reminds us that he is as human as we are.

3. What song did Billy sing that the band had not performed since 1976?

Answer: I've Loved These Days

Billy said he wanted to mark time by singing those lyrics because he thought they had a good year all around in 1999. A song about renewal of a life for another year and ridding of bad habits.

4. What song did he perform right before midnight?

Answer: Two Thousand Years

The last stanza of "Two Thousand Years" is on the back of the book inside the album. A song with some of the best lyrics he has ever written.

5. What was Billy Joel's wardrobe for the concert?

Answer: A tuxedo

He even wore suspenders.

6. After which song did Billy tell the audience they "get fifteen minutes to have a whiz"?

Answer: Only the Good Die Young

Billy's sense of humor and increadable sense of camaraderie with the audience is one of the best things about him.

7. During which song did Billy do a vocal solo just using one word?

Answer: New York State of Mind

He did a kind of vocal solo using just the word "mind" at the very end of "New York State of Mind".

8. Which of these songs on the album were performed but not written by Billy Joel?

Answer: All of these

Billy Joel usually performs songs written by other artists that inspired him when he was younger.

9. When thanking the audience for paying the "ridiculously expensive ticket prices" for the concert, Billy mentions that some people paid $999. Who did he say he would pay that much to see?

Answer: Jimmy Hendrix

He thanks them for coming and asks how many people in the audience were rich. There were a few cheers but a lot more boos from the audience with Billy concluding with "Well, we're all in it together".

10. Which song did Billy mention that was completely historically inaccurate?

Answer: Ballad of Billy the Kid

He said when he moved out to the West Coast he wanted to write a song about it. He said he was totally wrong about the Rio Grande running east and west because it really runs north and south. Even inaccurate, it still is one of the biggest crowd pleasers.
