Billy Joel ‘Live at Shea Stadium’ CD/DVD GIVEAWAY!!

Film of Singer’s Historic 2008 Concerts Closing America’s Cradle of Stadium Rock Includes Performances By Guest Artists Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks and John Mayer + DVD/Blu-ray Featuring Bonus Duets with Steven Tyler, Roger Daltrey and John Mellencamp.

Arrives in stores today – March 8th, 2011.

On Tuesday, March 8, Columbia/Legacy will release, for the very first time, ‘Billy Joel – Live at Shea Stadium,’ a full-length music film of Billy Joel’s historic shows in July 2008 marking the last-ever concerts at rock’s first great arena venue.

Billy Joel – Live At Shea Stadium will be available in a 2 CD/1 DVD set as well as a stand-alone DVD and stand-alone Blu-ray.

The full-concert companion to the acclaimed Lionsgate documentary “The Last Play At Shea,” Billy Joel Live At Shea Stadium features more than two hours of Billy and his band offering definitive, and often transcendent versions of hits, rarities, deep catalog, personal favorites and crowd-pleasing surprises including duets with guest artists Paul McCartney (“I Saw Her Standing There,” “Let It Be”), Tony Bennett (“New York State of Mind”), Garth Brooks (“Shameless”) and John Mayer (“This Is The Time”) along with exclusive DVD/Blu-ray bonus performances with Steven Tyler (“Walk This Way”), Roger Daltrey (“My Generation”) and John Mellencamp (“Pink Houses”).

Built in 1964, Shea Stadium was the home of the New York Mets for 45 years. Designed as a multi-purpose stadium, Shea became the birthplace of arena rock when the Beatles appeared there August 15, 1965, establishing the ballpark as a pinnacle venue for rock’s biggest names: The Who, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and others have all played Shea.

Chosen as the last rock act to play the venue, Billy Joel staged his “Last Play At Shea” concerts on July 16 and July 18, 2008, rocking a combined audience of 110,000 fans with one of the most emotionally charged shows ever played at the historic stadium. After 45 years, two New York Mets World Series victories, the arena debut of The Beatles and Billy Joel’s “The Last Play At Shea,” the final section of Shea Stadium was torn down in 2009.

A broadcast edition of Billy Joel – Live At Shea Stadium will premiere on PBS Great Performances in March.

Super Bowl 2010: Saints Win, Super Bowl Commercials and The Who

I am a not-so-secretly a football fan. Scratch that I am a die-hard Bears fan despite hailing from Indiana. In fact I was thrilled to see the Colts lose and suffer a bit of much need humility. (While the Bears are suffering a huge let down after Cutler failed to live up to his golden boy reputation, they are going to see yet another year of disappointment. Lovie Smith has been kept on to sink the ship and the team won’t have any saving grace in the draft thanks to trading first picks in the Cutler price tag.)

Regardless, Peyton Manning was being worshiped like a Touchdown Jesus and fans were cocky enough to make bets not on if they won, but when they won. Too bad the New Orleans Saints not only won, but won by two touchdowns. The final score was 31-17 with Drew Brees being named MVP. Manning acted like a child and walked off the field before handing out a single congrats to the Saints on their victory, which made me forget any respect I might have had. In his defense the word “choke” is being used for that interception that seems to have changed it all. I disagree on the term and remind myself, as the Colts fan should, no team or person is perfect.

[The Who Super Bowl Half Time Show - Video]

The halftime show was performed by The Who which is a safe beat after the stigma of Janet Jackson’s 2004 Floppy Boob-Gate and Prince’s garnered ridiculous complaints that his halftime show turned men gay. (That I am not making up. Several thousand complained the shadow aspect of the show was phallic ridden thanks to his guitar. One woman said she feared her son would “be turned gay” while another man claimed erectile dysfunction.) Those shows have left eager viewer searching for a scandal FCC complaint worthy. Peter Townsend and Roger Daltrey delivered a set that featured a blinding light show and a few fireworks that I have yet to hear a FCC filed complaint.

[Betty White Snickers Super Bowl Commercial – Video]

The Super Bowl commercials are what some tune in for. This year, they seemed to have fizzled in entertainment value. Mixed reviews have one thing in common: every review pegs GoDaddy ads the worst and the Denny’s scary chickens were unanimously “lame.” The Doritos campaign didn’t fail to deliver some of the best.
