This Billy Joel concert is legendary. It was hosted by WMMR’s Ed Sciaky at Sigma Sound Studios on April 15th, 1972. This particular version of “Captain Jack” began to get a lot of airplay on our station. Word quickly spread about Billy Joel and his talents, and his career was kickstarted by the radio support here in Philadelphia. In this clip you’ll hear him talk about the impact that MMR had on his life.
