Classic Albums Live: Billy Joel's The Stranger
Experience Billy Joel’s iconic album, The Stranger, performed live on stage, note-for-note, cut-for-cut. No costumes. No impersonators. Classic Albums Live is all about the music.
Relive the nostalgia of The Stranger, Joel’s fifth studio album, released in September 1977. An album that helped define the ‘70s, it won two GRAMMY Awards in 1978 for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Four songs from the album were on the Billboard 100: “She’s Always a Woman,” “Movin’ Out,” “Just the Way You Are” and “Only the Good Die Young.”
“We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume,” says Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live founder. “All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album.”
Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage with the best musicians to honor enduring music with accuracy.
