The music of Billy Joel is a staple of American popular culture but, due to major political unrest, it was not until the late 1980s that his songs were heard in Russia. Billy Joel made the historic decision to be one of the first major artists to perform there in 1987. This remarkable event, which holds deep personal significance for Billy, is fully documented in ‘A Matter Of Trust: The Bridge To Russia’ Deluxe Edition 2CD & DVD. It features the live show in its entirety with 11 previously unreleased tracks across 2CDs. The DVD includes concert footage, restored from the original 35 milimeter negative, with an additional 12 performances, previously unseen.
