The most telling tale of all when viewing the commercial clout John and Joel wield today is that their newest albums are what a shock concert recordings of older material. The Millennium Concert . John, in turn, nearly broke the sound barrier by booking himself into Madison Square Garden in October and releasing a live record of his show a mere month later as One Night Only . The records were, at best, mediocre sellers. The real deal remains a different story as nearly all the joint tour's West Coast dates this winter were sellouts.
