Comment 1 of 2: Awesome concert!! Still fun to watch in 2019. If I’m not mistaken Billy was one of few American entertainers allowed in Russia at the time. That was a big deal. I’m from Bulgaria. Bulgaria had strong ties to the USSR as it was called back then. This concert happened in ‘87. Bulgaria broke away from the communist regime of Russia in ‘89.

I hope you don't mind me asking How did the Russians become familiar with American music? Did their government allowed American music records be played in their radios? How did they become popular? Did some Russians smuggled records like vynil, CDs tapes and music players? Thanks sir, if you care to reply.

@@vomitingconfetti7187 I'll reply,I am Russian. It was almost like a crime,but some people, who managed to travel abroad,some singers for example , were bringing music and spreading it,making copies,there were closed clubs, when those who loved and appreciated Western music were meeting up in someone's flat to listen to that forbidden beautiful music . I grew up in 80s ,my parents were massively into the Beatles,but their music you could buy,it was approved by the government. Although you still had to make an effort to get their albums as there were more people want ing them ,than vinyls available

This is great. I had the LP but bought the new Bridge to Russia version, 2 CD / DVD. I think Joel is a cross between Elton John and Joe Jackson! Great songwriter with great melodies.

I love how in “Allentown”, a band member bangs on a pole to make the sound effect that plays on the song. Funny thing is, it sounds just like the sound effect.
@hekkoCZ5 жыл бұрын
That's Mark Rivera and I suspect the sound effect is just him hitting a metal pole with a hammer.

Petyr Wilson More or less, to be honest. I would be a fool if I assumed everything I knew were to be always correct. But, I do get that you were thinking I was saying that Mark was making the noise that the whole crowd could hear with no microphone, I’m saying how it is funny that he is trying to imitate it. But I guess you are calling me a fool for saying that it sounds just like it, which, I admit has dumb. I guess I have to live with that dumb remark, but I done worse in past years, I am still growing you know. Anyways, I forgotten that I had typed that comment for a while and I did needed that criticism in these times, because I have been waste if time and being very lazy. I feel more better thanks to you. And no, this isn’t some strange and pathetic comeback, I am being true, which I know now is what is needed to live on as a human being. Once again, thank you for being true.

There was a Documentary of Billy Joel's Tour in Russia. Where is that? Scrubbed? I remember he was married to Christie Brinkley at the time. RIGHT? It was too obvious what the 'cancel culture' will result in. Beware Censorship! Somebody help meh?
