Some people liked Stop Draggin, but to me it was really bad. But, they are paying to see legends on stage and that's what they got. I guess a lot of Billy fans were upset she sang on one of his songs. But that's what a high end cash grab is. Nostalgia and legendary status.

Sorry for the confusion- I didn’t mean that Stevie should have sang Everywhere. According to some reviews I read, before Stevie came out they played Tom Petty’s song Running Down a Dream over the speakers. I meant it would have been nice if they had played Everywhere instead.
I saw the duet between Billy and Stevie and thought it was cool. But then again, I’ve always been a fan of that sort of thing, seeing artists perform material not originally meant for them. Maybe that’s why I enjoyed the last FM tour so much. Although I’m not a huge Billy Joel fan, I thought he performed that song with gusto even though it was outside his element somewhat. You’re right, legendary status does play a role in all this.
I still think it would have been so much fun to have seen Billy and Stevie play Don’t Stop instead, not just as a tribute to Christine but because Billy on piano would have been such a natural!
