Billy Joel Live in Tokyo 1981 🎶

Billy Joel
Live at Nippon Budokan
Tokyo, Japan
April 16, 1981
Soundboard Recording
Sound Quality: A

This is the second Tokyo show, recently discovered, or at least made public, since it seems that in Japan the Bootleg has been circulating for some time, although perhaps I am wrong. The recording only has 3 songs that were broadcast by a Japanese Radio, it is assumed that there is a complete recording of it, but it is certainly unknown. There is also an Audience Recording of the first show. Also this show is further proof that Billy is quite varied with his setlist. Although there are no really different songs on these shows, the order of the songs usually varies quite a bit.
