Good recording as I used the same gear I do for all other shows. However, Billy's vocals are not as strong in the mix as I would have preferred, although that improves after the first couple of songs. Still, a very good, clear recording with almost no audience interference and a setlist that featured several rarities.

I'm calling this a sound check, although some may call it a rehearsal, of Billy Joel performing songs by a myriad of artists. Basically hamming it up and pretending because "we're on the air" that the guest artist is actually present. Many of these songs are just portions of the song, not complete run-thrus. There is commentary by DJ Bob Buchman mingled in with the performance. I found a set-list on the net of this performance but it ended after "Born To Be Wild" so I suspect there may be an abbreviated version of this performance in circulation. If that is so then this is about twice as long.

17. Just the Way You Are 
18. Big Shot 

Unfortunately the quality leaves much to be desired. It suffers from VHS generational issues, but is very watchable and listenable...despite a fair amount of audio hiss. 

This is a bit of a famous live bootleg audio-wise and has been making the rounds for years that way. I'm not certain when the video began circulating. The details of the actual show are a little sketchy; some sources stating it is from The Summit in Houston, TX 1980, but it is most likely November 1979. 

I also had trouble actually finding confirmation that Billy Joel played Houston in 1979. The closest I could find is that he played Maryland November 1, 1979; with an identical set-list (plus 2 more songs at the end of the show). 

The significance of the show itself, is that it takes place months before the album GLASS HOUSES was released and he plays songs from it; most notably a rare performance of "All For Leyna" featuring a guitar solo instead of a synth. 

I'm not sure why this show was filmed and what the intentions were for its release; most likely in promotion for the upcoming GLASS HOUSES LP, but as far as I can tell (through my research), it has never been officially released or aired...in whole or in part. 

V=7.5/10 
A=7.5/10 

Also, the DVD has chapter breaks, but they unfrotunately do not line up with the beginning of the tracks. It appears that the DVD was made by somebody who just went from a VHS copy to disc by using a VHS to DVD Recorder combo. This was not my doing. It is the way I got it. Sorry.
