The disc yielded the #1 single, We Didn”t Start The Fire, which was also nominated for 2 Grammys. Joel finished the year with 4 concerts on his home turf in Long Island on December 21, 22, 27 and 31.  While none of the shows were broadcast, Joel did allow WBAB to air his soundchcck/rehearsal on December 27, 1989, 33 years ago today.  The e=recording captures Billy playing snippets from a host of other artists, often attempting to imitate their vocal style and sound in the process.
