Rarely, if ever, do we get the chance to be in someone’s life for the entirety of their existence, the best we can often realise is that we are there for the moments that matter, the good, the bad, and possibly the indifferent when summer days are listless and unmoving.

In the self-styled Theatre of Dreams, it is perhaps fitting that one American music legend can turn up to Old Trafford football ground, and with great artistic tongue in cheek, play to the local crowd’s hearts by performing the opening segments to the local anthem of the Stretford End faithful before hitting home with a set list that won’t be heard anywhere else in the country this year.

The lights may have been seen to go out over Broadway, but as the sound of the piano keys crashed down and the echo of thousands of racing hearts fulfilled an ambition in the home of national sports greatest heroes, the illumination from a thousand cameras, of what seemed like a million cell phones capturing the event, Wembley was lit up in spectacular style. This was the honouring of a man for whom so many had perhaps waited a lifetime to watch perform and who now bathed in the glare of flashbulbs and love.
The man with the velvet collar
and the impressive skills on the piano
once sang a song for me
across the white crested waves
between the past
in the undiscovered Bronx
and my home in Bicester
and I could not help but be saved
I put a dime in the juke box
and I believed all what the Piano Man sang
about the ups and downs of a life well lived
and how at times the girl gets away
but if your fortunate enough

There is no doubting that Sir Paul McCartney is one of Liverpool’s and indeed the U.K.’s favourite sons. The songs he co-wrote with John Lennon has rightly passed down generation after generation of music lovers to the point where surely at any point in time around the world a song he wrote, whether with the Beatles or his lengthy solo career, a song he lovingly crafted and put together, is being played on a radio station, in a Juke Box or on a record or C.D. player with reverence.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
For anyone in the U.K. or Europe who loved their music to have an American twist then the Summer of 1983 saw Billy Joel, one of the biggest music artists ever from the United States, have perhaps arguably the most commercially incredible time of his career to date as he released the stunning An Innocent Man onto the music world.

Although Billy Joel hasn’t released a hit studio album for a while, at one point his music could be heard almost everywhere. From the embryonic beginnings of M.T.V. and radio stations all over The United States of America and Europe, you couldn’t escape the talented piano player or his catchy and infectious music.
