- Billy Joel at his best.
The Stranger is Billy Joels best album. The live CD of him at Carnegie Hall sounds excellent. Hearling Billy and his band perform songs from the Stranger before it was released is amazing. The DVD of Billy in concert in his prime is great, although I wished there was more songs included. I really enjoyed hearing Billy and Phil Ramone discussing how the Stranger came about and the stories behind the classic songs.

- The piece de resistance of the celebration of Billy Joel's breakthrough fifth album
New York native Billy Joel released his fifth album The Stranger in November of 1977.
Prior to The Stranger, Billy was almost seen as a pop one-hit wonder thanks to the title track from his 1973 album Piano Man (despite the fact FM rock stations played "Captain Jack" and "New York State of Mind"). However, pop radio ignored him. It was in the summer of 1977 that Billy and producer Phil Ramone (famed for work with The Carpenters and Paul Simon) went into A&R Recording Studios in New York to record Billy's fourth album for Columbia, which (had it not sold) might have been his last time at bat. Is the album the classic it is or some artifact from a bygone time, read on and find out.
We start the album with a great rocker out of "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" which is driven by piano and guitar. Next is The Stranger's title cut which its intro and outro (also repeated at album's end) sounds like it could ... Read More

- Long-Time Fan Loves the Extras
I've owned all off Billy Joel's albums from the day they were released going back to 1982 or so, and I had purchased all of his older albums by then. I'm a huge fan, but I never trafficked much in the "extras" that were available. This release adds two wonderful discs to my collection. Having been a fan so long, it was awesome to see 1970s Billy talking, playing, and singing. I love Mark Rivera but had missed seeing sax virtuoso Richie Cannata with the band. What a joy!
