The Billy Joel Songbook Reviews
(2.3 Stars)
Heather Russell from Oxford,
DISAPPOINTED
Far, far too loud. Singer lost in the shouting manner of the rock n roll, much better on the ballads! Having seen Billy Joel live several times can say this was not a good representation in the main! Didn't need the strobe lights in our eyes
John B. from London, England
RUINED!
Just as the other reviewer posted, this show was far too loud to enjoy. Having been to several Elio Pace shows in the past, this was a huge disappointment and if it had not been for my wife wanting to stay I would have simply left the venue. Not sure I will be attending any more Elio Pace shows in the future.
Stewart from Edinburgh
NOT ENOUGH BILLY JOEL
No doubt Elio Pace has a phenomenal voice. He found a weird blurred area of showmanship and pantomime though. It was hard at points to know if it was serious musicianship or stand up comedy. The ending to New York State of Mind… very weird. The twirling and then dropping of his mic stand… very weird. And then just a tonne of plugging his own personal merchandise and name dropping his good good friends in the industry. Nobody paid in the hope that he would tell us Ronnie Corbett was his mate and we should all go and see his daughters show. Credit where it’s due though, cracking voice. Just wish it was more signing and less talking.
