At the G Saturday night with 70000 others enjoying a great concert. 

And the drummer proudly wearing the jumper!  (Apologies for the quality of the photo)  

Hope every one enjoys the break and stays safe

 Go Dees.

Was a great surprise, and when Billy announced him, I tried on my best ‘Go Dees!’. Got a few laughs only…..not enough Dees supporters there. Brillant gig though…..what a playlist!!!

It was awesome, I loved the drummer being in a Dees jumper and Billy Joel was brilliant

Q:  Why do Billy Joel's eyes bulge like they do?

A:  He STILL can't believe he was married to Christie Brinkley.   Yes, it's an oldie.

I just posted a similar pic in another thread. I wasn’t there but my friend was and sent sent me the pic.

 I wonder if it’s only while playing in Melb that he wears it.

It must have been a ripper, frankie! (And from the subsequent posters - and @WalkingCivilWar's buddy - it looks like there won't be any debate this time about which team had the best home-game-at-the-'G support! 😉)

Your post sent me down the Google rabbit hole: Charles Arnold 'Chuck' Burgi III, American (what else with that name?!) long-time Joel band drummer. No evident connection with the Dees but publicity photos seem to show a penchant for the red and blue (good man!) e.g. Spiderman merch. Possibly a Dees supporter in MCG event management (there'd be a few!😄) was onto this and jumped at the chance?
