Especially entertaining was Crystal Talifero, a new edition who almost stole the show herself. In between playing the sax, beating the bongos and filling out Joel's ever-lower voice, she raced around the stage, engaging in more than a few flirtatious exchanges with Mr. Joel himself...

Taking the place of the funny cardboard-frame glasses used to watch old-style 3-D movies, the eyewear creates a stereoscopic effect by using lenses filled with liquid-crystal diodes, the same material that forms the numerals on the face of a digital wristwatch. When jolted by an electrical current, an LCD lens can instantly switch from being essentially transparent to being totally opaque -- like an efficient electronic shutter.
