Saw Billy Joel last night...

Holy Crap...

Besides Prince, that's the best sounding concert I've ever been to. It was absolutely amazing. Do you think Billy really asked to be tuned during the National Anthem at the Super Bowl? He sure didn't need it last night.

no, i think some engineer who was trying to do the right thing probably heard that he went severely out of tune on the beginning passage of the NA and decided then to engage the auto-tune.
it was unfortunate; everyone knows Billy Joel can sing!

IMHO that's nowhere near doing the right thing.

Rock on!

i was trying to be nice in case he/she reads these threads....
what you write on the internet survives forever (it's scary to think of).
but i agree that it wasn't the right thing.

Do you think in that situation someone might have been...over there shoulder? Just a thought? Probably not right?

I didn't hear it. Was it real bad, the AT?
