''I second this, if only because the audience is *expected* to sing 'How long...' until the end while Larry plays, and that always ends the show? It's a very emotional thing.'' —Kate

BILLY JOEL'S ''PIANO MAN''

'''Piano Man,' without a doubt. Last summer I saw Billy Joel and Elton John perform at Citizens Bank Park in Philly and they closed with this song, just two legends with their pianos. They let the entire stadium sing the last chorus. Singing along to 'Piano Man' with 50,000 other concertgoers was a magical concert moment?I'll never forget it.'' —Marissa

'''Piano Man,' Billy Joel. The crowd can sing it by themselves with next to no help from Billy. What could be better?'' —Jenn P.

THE ROLLING STONES', ''YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT''

''1989, Steel Wheels tour. I was 16, and I'd never heard that one before but apparently, I was the only one in the stadium who hadn't because Mick sang, 'Now you can't...' and the entirety of Veterans Stadium sang back 'ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.' Everyone knew every word. Still get chills thinking of it. Was one of those moments at a concert where you're MOVED, you know? I thought it was so DEEP. I mean, it is meaningful, but, you know, deep in the way a 16-year-old thinks it is. You were being told one of life's truths by the greatest rock & roll band in the world, and getting your 16-year-old mind blown!'' —Sheila
