      Yeah, it was my fave late night show (well, late night in those days!). King Crimson's performance was one that changed everything for me. A band that I got into in my high school days but never saw live because they broke up in 1974/5. Then all of a sudden they appear again, doing/playing like nothing I'd heard before.Thankfully you can find a lot of OGWT clips on here. The box set dvd's are a great reminder, of naked live performance and creativity on show (no fancy lighting and effects, just stripped down to performance.
      BTW, love Billy Joel.

    This is such a quintessential 70s pop, jazz, New York and American classic. It voices and captures the frustration of late 20th century middle class ambitions so clearly. Joel's character knows about the sacrifices his parents, family and community made for his comfortable life and appreciates them but is impatient to make his own mark on the world. By painting such a specific and personal picture of a time and place he conversely universalizes his story, as he does in so much of his music. His stories are of weary, wary but still optimistic characters finding their way in the world and the portraits are tender but unsparing. He loves his home but he's outgrown it, and is now MOVIN' OUT, as so many young adults do. It's that ambition that moves life forward.

      ...went bankrupt, divorced super model, made horrible do wop music to please supermodel got fat. Yet he remains my fav rock and roll artist. 1st 5 albums magic (not counting cold spring harbor). Glass houses is acceptable, and next one ok. But downfall came from Innocent Man onward. I stopped going to his concerts (4 total I think for me) because he'd play the do wop crap that went away from the rock and roll I loved

    and once more in Philly a few years later. He still had his range, A Billy Joel concert is an emotional work out; the man knows how to take his fans along with him for a ride!!
