Elton John and Billy Joel were the competing piano men of rock in the 1970s and 1980s. They each have become music icons and in 1994 the icons took their duel to a new level, playing side by side, piano by piano, on a series of tours that became known as the Face to Face tours. Elton and Billy’s unexpected concert series became one of the longest running pop collaborations, selling countless tickets to listen the mutual appreciation for John’s “Tiny Dancer,” “Rocket Man,” and “Bennie and the Jets” and Joel’s “Piano Man,” “My Life,” and “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.”
