Cinderella - Cinderella in Concert - BLU-RAY

In July-August 1987, after 100 shows around the world on the Bridge Tour, Billy Joel accepted the Kremlin's invitation to the U.S.S.R. for six fully-staged rock shows in Moscow and Leningrad, fulfilling a long-time desire to perform in Russia. During their stay, Billy and his family, along with musicians, staff, and a huge press entourage spent their days interacting with the Russian people, forging true bonds of friendship wherever they went. For the first time, a MATTER OF TRUST THE BRIDGE TO RUSSIA, presents an expanded version of what fans saw and heard over a quarter-century ago. The newly remastered concert Blu-ray, originally directed by Wayne Isham, adds seven previously unreleased songs to the original 1987 VHS LIVE FROM LENINGRAD, including a bonus performance of 'Pressure'. Billy has always believed that going to Russia was the most important thing he'd ever done. The freedom and excitement of his presence permanently affected the country and played no small role in the ultimate dissolution of the U.S.S.R. in 1991.
