MUSIC: After the devastating cancellation of their show in 2003 (remember that SARS thing?), Billy Joel and Elton John will finally bring their Face 2 Face Tour to the Air Canada Centre tonight. The piano men, who last graced our city with their communal presence in 1995, will blow minds this evening with inevitable renditions of "Piano Man," "Philadelphia Freedom," and "Crocodile Rock."
