Info for Live at The Great American Music Hall
"Billy Joel Live at The Great American Music Hall" was recorded at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, June 1975. The live gig from the Streetlife Serenade tour introduces the earliest available recordings of future Turnstiles classics ‘James’ and ‘New York State Of Mind’ into Billy’s catalog, and includes examples of Billy’s loving imitations of Joe Cocker, Elton John and Leon Russell — a staple of his early concerts.
"We were all living in California in 1974-75," Brian Ruggles, who was then Joel’s engineer and live sound producer, told Rolling Stone. "Billy was in Malibu and I was living in Hollywood. He’d been in California for a few years and was really homesick for New York. He wanted to get back there. His roots are in New York and he missed it a lot.
"He came up with the idea for the song as he rode — on the Hudson River Line, actually — to his house in Highland Falls, New York," Ruggles added. "He wrote the song down when he got home. This was months before we recorded Turnstiles.”
"Billy’s comfort with the audience and stage humor is evident as he banters with the crowd. And as he sometimes would do live, he pepper’s the show with comic covers. This round he pulls off a particularly great spoof of Joe Cocker’s take on “You Are So Beautiful” which was topping the charts around that time…" (Mark Smotroff)
