КОНЦЕРТ (often inaccurately rendered KOHUEPT; it is pronounced ) is the second live album by Billy Joel, released in 1987. (see 1987 in music). The album was recorded during Joel's 1987 tour in the USSR; the album title is the Russian word for "concert" (kontsert). The accent (stress) is on the second syllable, and as a result by the usual rules of Russian pronunciation, the "o" in the unstressed first syllable is pronounced much like an "a".
Performed during the The Bridge tour, Joel plays 3 songs from the album; Big Man on Mulberry Street, Baby Grand, and A Matter of Trust.
"Back In The USSR" was released as the single off this album, ending Joel's record-setting streak of 39 Billboard top-40 singles from the start of a career written by the artist who performed it.
