Alicia Keys Gives the Performance of Her Life With 'Piano & I' Live at The Beacon Theatre

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut album, 'Songs in A Minor,' the always amazing Alicia Keys brought the house down last night (June 30) with an exclusive-to-AOL acoustic solo concert special, live from the Beacon Theatre in her native New York City.

On a candlelit stage, outfitted in a custom-made, black-sequined Givenchy suit jacket, Alicia transitioned from a piano prelude to the Beatles' 1968 hit 'Blackbird' to open her 'Piano & I' spectacular. During the welcome to her fans and viewers that followed, Alicia couldn't hide her hometown pride, revealing, "The city really wrote a lot of that first album."
