Billy Joel performed a concert on Friday night in at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Of course, noted Tampa Bay area resident Dick Vitale was in the house, and he decided to do what everyone on Earth does when they're at an event of any kind – live-tweet it.
Dickie V was part of a sell-out crowd at the show.
