Joel almost didn't put the song on the album, "even after we changed the drum part," he says. The two coolest things about The Stranger that I didn't previously know are that Hiram Bullock played guitar on it, and that "Just the Way You Are" almost didn't make the record. The 30th anniversary edition box set also includes a reproduction of Billy's hand written lyric sheets, a poster, and a glossy booklet with lots of great photos and discussion of the album, the recording, and Billy's career. The Joe Malin Orchestra under the direction of Frank Owens. The personnel on the Carnegie Hall concert are: Listen to "Just the Way You Are" live at Carnegie Hall, June 3,1977 As good as "Just the Way You Are" sounds on the original album, check out this live version from the Carnegie Hall concert, the song was brand new, not even recorded yet for the album and he sings it with a freshness and feeling that he might not have felt the next 100,000 times he sang it.

This package includes not only the original album but two previously unreleased concerts, a CD recorded live at Carnegie Hall on Jand a DVD that includes an early 1978 concert filmed for BBC television plus two live promo videos. The Legacy division of Sony/BMG does a fabulous job respecting the legacy that lives within their vaults, and their reissues are of the highest quality (the 30th anniversary Born to Run is another great one). Listening the the 30th anniversary reissue of The Stranger this week, "Just the Way You Are" jumped out, sounding just as great now as it did thirty years ago totally knocking me over with it's timeless beauty and the down to earth sentiment that is the core of the song.
