I saw Billy in concert one time. Christie wasn’t there, but he announced it was her birthday and dedicated Uptown Girl to wish her happy that night. I was heavily pregnant at that show, and my baby turns 40 this year. Lord, where have the years gone?

I saw him with floor seats in 1986 when he still had hair and they were still together. 3 hour show with no intermission except for the 3 encores. The tour where he opened the show with "A Matter of Trust" playing the guitar. Incredible show indeed!

I saw him once in the late 80s, with my ex-sister-in-law, when my baby was about 3. Regarding where the time went, mine went to great times with family and a lot of laughing and happy memories ~ and I wouldn’t trade for anything. I hope it’s the same for you.

It's a magic trick, honestly. I was thinking the same thing yesterday. We can travel into the future, that's how I feel. Unfortunately, we can't go back, as the saying goes. BTW, we are the lucky ones, that have traveled, and God willing, will continue for a while longer.

Billy was supposed to perform in Hershey Pa….but 3 Mile Island happened and the concert was cancelled. But he did come back and our seats were “behind the stage”. As it turned out they were right behind the band. We sat right behind the drummer and his (Billy’s) piano…He actually came up and played and sang right to us. We could see Christie standing in the stage door dancing. My daughter and I had the privilege of seeing him at Madison Square Garden for his 75th performance there. And we were treated to the remaining member of ZzTop come on stage to perform with Billy.

I know he stopped performing this song for a time after his divorce from her. Glad he started singing this song again. He has so many hits he could skip it and his song lineup did not suffer but it is still is one of the classic songs he wrote earlier in his career. The fact he still sang it this month when she was there means that time has healed most of the wounds from that time in his life.

I would love to see him in concert again. I’ve been a humungous fan since 1980. I was 5. The first time was 1994 with Elton John. As a teen I had a choice of The Eagles or Billy Joel and Elton John. Not that I would have chosen differently I loved all three but I kind of wish I’d gone to see The Eagles too.

I really don't have many nor live for random celebrity sightings except for my first - me 13th row at McCartney's Flowers in the Dirt tour MSG, I think late '89. About 20 minutes in, in walk into the 11th row: Sarah Brightman, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Christie in a skin tight one piece blue knit dress and Billy in a light brown suit. Much as I wanted to be glued to JPM, I couldn't take my eyes off Christie wriggling around nonstop. What a goddess. They all left along with one other I assumed a business manager before the end of the show I figured to go backstage. Sarah was quite lovely too, much more subdued but I think into it singing along at times. I've no anecdotes about it, but a memorable event all told, with Paul putting on an incredible 3hr concert

Joel has talked about this song several times on Howard Stern. The song is about Brinkley. But, she wasn't the inspiration. He was dating model Elle MacPherson when he started writing it. It was called "Uptown Girls" (plural) and was about her and her friends (including Brinkley). When he broke up with MacPherson and started dating Brinkley, he changed it to be just about her.
