For SheffieldJane- I bought these tickets a year ago... and at the time it seemed like an awesome idea! We had seen him several times and it's one of the best concerts going! If you like Billy Joel, obviously! He plays 80/20... 80% old stuff and 20% new. Perfect for me! Who knew how much my life and health would change in 6 months? As we left Brighton this morning, I was optimistically cautious. A 5 hour train journey, lugging bags, a hotel... it was all a bit daunting. However, here we are, and I'm ok. Did not increase Pred, although thought about it... I am down to 35 mg and thrilled at results! Shhhhhhhhh, don't jinx it! Know that you were my inspiration, as you dealt with the Stones trip so amazingly well! Good on you! You are My hero! Xxxx

Wow, good on you Melissa. Have a fantastic time.
Thanks Teesher, I'll report in tomorrow!
My British stiff upper lip is wobbling! I love that you got out of the tangled woods and are walking back to happiness. A lot of folk are closely watching your progress after giving brilliant voice to their Hell.
It’s amazing getting out of yourself and into the music for a few hours. I actually felt young and pretty even though I was wearing a red, plastic, bin,bag, cape,emblazoned with the Stones’ Tongue logo and my hair was stuck to my head with rain, I danced and Mick looked at me, he really did 😂😍. So Uptown Girl I hope you love your Piano Man.
Well done with the cheeky taper! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
...because of you, the tangled woods are behind me. ❤️ Thanks for bringing me round.
Have a wonderful time
I am planning the Isle of Wight festival next weekend
Wont be going every day though will be happy just to manage a few hours each day
Wow, coolRose 54! I can wait to hear how that is!
Luckily don't have far to go only across the road
so can come and go as I like
if its not to hot its take a chair and sit all day
If its hot I can not cope after a hour that's me done
Sounds perfect.... unlike me with the 70,000 other fans stuffed into, and stuck in, The Old Trafford like sardines! 😳 Yikes!
Hi! I was lucky enough to see him at Madison Garden when I was in New York a few weeks ago - he was wonderful and the atmosphere was magic. You'll have a great time👍👍
Wow, that's the concert on my bucket list!! Billy Joel at MSG! Maybe next year!
Oh mamici1- I am envious of you at your concert tonight! I love Billy Joel and his music. I had tickets for his 2016 concert at Wembley but unfortunately wasn’t able to go as I had just come out of hospital after exacerbation of heart problems. Well done you for pacing the travel and hotel yesterday. I can just imagine the atmosphere tonight...... you’ll have to sing along to “Always a woman” for me. Have a wonderful evening and revel in the fact that you’re doing “normal” things again. PMRand GCA will fade into the background for a few hours..... have fun!!😀
Ohhhhh linda49, that is tragic! I hope you get the chance again, soon! Thank you! Yes, I will forget PMR/GCA, and pretend all is right with the world, if only for a few hours!
Have a wonderful time tonight. Both you and SJ are an inspiration to us all!
Awe, thanks Rugger. ❤️
Hi Mamici1
I didn’t know he was doing a concert here. I love him! I saw him 25 years ago and the best concert I have ever been to.
Now just drink a bottle of red or a bottle of white. Be an uptown girl and remember you are a big shot. Enjoy the entertainer. When you see Sheffield Jane tell her about it, because she’s Got a way. Hope you don’t have to wait for the longest time. Will be thinking of you bopping xxxxx💃🏻
Ahhhhhh, Don't Ask Why Elaine-W, but Vienna Waits for You! And These are the Times to Remember even though We Didn't Start the Fire, in Zanzibar!
There is a very funny podcast called "We didn't start the podcast" where one of the presenters loves him and the other does not. But Very clever and I learned a lot about Billy Joel. ! I love podcasts!
Cool, I'll have to check that out..., cheers!
Music is right up there with laughter being the best medicine! Have a wonderful time! I’m (mentally) sending you half of my spoons so you can dance (some of) your toes iff.
What a lovely gesture Insight, thank you! Xxx.
Wonderful that you are good to go for this. I have such a smile for you right now. Think seriously about ear plugs. Hearos brand is acoustically neutral, per their advertisement. I’ve used them for rock concerts for years.
I would think they might be handy to control the level of stimulation, as needed.
Unfortunately, as we all know. Good and bad stress are much the same to our nervous systems.
Go forth and have a ball. Represent us all. Maybe next year we can form a Rockin PMR concert group.
Have yourselves a fantastic evening...I thought you had gone "quiet" of recent. Little did I know you were stoking up your reserves for Billy!
Have an Amazing Time! You can rest up all week if you need to! I’m sure he’ll be amazing, if you need an extra 5or10mg for tonight it won’t be the end of the world, back to normal on Monday & Rest, Recover & Relive! 🎼🎹🎤
Aww well done you , so glad you enjoyed the concert he’s such a great artist.
I bet it was a buzz, with all those people and the atmosphere.
I saw the Stones recently , which was fab, and this weekend just got back from a girly weekend to the nec Birmingham, and have survived!! Ha ha .
Onwards and upwards as they say xx
