THE TOUR
Billy Joel's "Storm Front" tour in 1990 followed the release of his album "Storm Front," which came out in October 1989. This album marked a bit of a stylistic shift for Joel, with more rock-influenced tracks, and the tour reflected this new energy and sound.
The "Storm Front" album was known for hits like "We Didn't Start the Fire," a fast-paced song recounting historical events throughout Joel's lifetime, and "The Downeaster 'Alexa'", a song about the struggles of fishermen in the Hamptons, which showed his range in songwriting and storytelling. These songs, along with others from the album like "I Go to Extremes" and "Leningrad," were prominently featured in the tour's setlist.
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
