EP 168 - Studio To Stage: The Journey From Turnstiles To Songs In The Attic
from Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast · host Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno
In this episode, we're taking a closer look at four songs that made the journey from Billy Joel's 1976 album Turnstiles to his 1981 live album Songs in the Attic. Why did Billy choose to revisit these particular tracks, and what changed between their original studio recordings and their live performances? We'll compare the arrangements, instrumentation, vocals, energy, and production of each song, exploring how years of touring transformed them from promising studio recordings into fan-favorite live performances. Whether you prefer the intimate feel of Turnstiles or the electrifying versions on Songs in the Attic, this episode celebrates the evolution of four standout songs and examines why Billy Joel felt they deserved a second chance in the spotlight. ------ Email us: [email protected] Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: https://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter / X: https://x.com/glasshousespod Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@glasshousespod Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Glass Houses Media, LLC Learn more about your ad choices.
