Legendary New York-bred singer-songwriter Billy Joel has toured only sporadically in recent years, but fans have plenty of opportunities to score tickets to see him in concert going forward -- if they're willing to head out to New York's Madison Square Garden. Joel signed an open-ended deal with MSG that will have him playing a concert at the venue once per month for as long as there's demand. And demand has never been a problem for Joel at he historic New York venue; he played his first show there in 1978, and had logged 46 concerts at the arena by 2013.
New York isn't alone in its love for the singer. Joel has long been established as one of the top-grossing touring artists in the U.S., and has sold more than 150 million records over the course his four-decade career. After recording a long string of hits including "Piano Man," "New York State of Mind," "Just the Way You Are," "You May Be Right," "Pressure," "Uptown Girl," "We Didn't Start the Fire," and "The River of Dreams," Joel decided that he was done writing pop and rock songs. It's a decision he's stuck with; it's been more than 20 years since he's recorded a new pop or rock album. He's composed new classical material instead, while continuing to play songs from his catalog in concert.
Great show! Could have done without his daughter performing, but it's his show and can't blame him for sharing the stage with his seed. It's sad he hasn't performed Stiletto in years. Also wish he did Captain Jack.
This concert was awesome. It fulfilled my concert bucket list. From beginning to end, the music is phenomenal, the entertainment value is through the roof. It took me 5 years to be at MSG because I am going blind, and couldn’t travel until my Doctor gave me clearance to do so. I was bound and determined to make the trip.i have been a fan of Billy’s forever, and trust me, these last shows at MSG should not be missed. From “My Life” to “Turn the Lights Back On”, he runs through his entire catalog, and never does the same show. I strongly recommend going to see Billy Joel and his fantastic band mates in concert.
Incredible experience! BJ and the band brought it April 26th!! Traveled to NYC just fo
Amazing!! Great venue. The Piano Man and his band gave us the show of shows. Billy Joel is the absolute best entertainer. Will never forget this experience of a lifetime.
Seeing these two musicians has been on my list since high school, and I was thrilled to get a "two-fer"with Billy Joel teaming up with Sting for "One Night Only."All in all, it was wonderful and I would give this event five stars EXCEPT for two issues: 1. I did not pay top dollar for excellent seats to watch the concert through foul ball protective netting. There HAS to be a way to lower those screens when a concert takes place on the field. I felt like I was peering through a fence illegally instead of sitting in what should have been amazing seats with a really great view. My tickets did not state that the views might be partially obscured. So, yeah, rather disappointing. 2. Nice to have the two large screens near the stage, so as to get a better view of what was taking place. Having it play out on the Jumbotron would have made it that much better. That said, this was my third Petco concert and unless these issues improve, it will have been my last.
Great way for Billy Joel to close out his residency at Madison Square Garden. He still sounds great, and MSG is the best venue to experience a concert in
First time seeing Billy Joel and first time at MSG. It became a bucket list item when the end to his residency at MSG was announced. Loved the interaction with the audience. Kind of neat to see the Chritsy Brinkley was also in attendance.
Billy made a big show with unexpected songs (also of the Bee Gees or Rolling Stones. But his own songs stay the best! The audience was all the time excited! What a celebration of a life of a magnificant musisian!
My husband and I waited a long time to see Billy perform at MSG. It was worth waiting for. We saw him at Last Play at Shea but always wanted to see him at MSG. We were happy we did. The concert was great as expected. We also love Mike DelGuidice and got to hear him sing two songs. It was also a great night to be there since Billy's daughter, Alexa Ray, sang two songs. The last one she dedicated to her dad, To Sir With Love. Billy only has 3 concerts left so if you can grab a ticket, I highly recommend that you see him. If you get a ticket on the ground level, everyone was standing for the entire show. If you want to stay seated for most of it, get a seat in an upper level. Most people were seated and respectful during the concert. If you want to stand, pick a seat in a back row. Enjoy!!
I have been to over 40 Billy Joel concerts (2 more upcoming). He really puts on the greatest show. Highly recommend anyone who has the opportunity go see Billy you will not be disappointed!
This was such an enjoyable concert. I’ve seen him many times and have never been disappointed!! This was no exception…..he is amazing and his age has not diminished his performance at all!!
The Billy Joel concert was wonderful. The musicians and singers were great. I loved the personal touch of Bill’s daughter singing and his chat with the audience. His impressions of other performers were so funny! Thanks for the awesome concert and great evening!
What can I say? Billy Joel is a legend! He was amazing. Not the first time seeing him. Wish it wasn't the last. I was lucky enough to get tickets and to bring my children. It was an experience they will remember for a lifetime.
It was a dream to see Billy Joel at MSG. One of the best shows I’ve ever experienced. He played all the big hits that people love, and he had so much energy throughout. He still sounds great!
So lucky to see Billy in his home state. It was awesome
My girlfriend and I went to see Billy Joel at MSG on April 26, 2024. I have been a Billy Joel fan since 1977 and truly appreciated his deep cuts as well as the big hits. My girlfriend is not as familiar with his catalog, but she knows the hit songs and sang along and danced to them. Billy was very energetic on stage and engaging with the audience because of his humor and fascinating stories about his career. Billy made sure to showcase the musical talent of each band member and introduced all of them to a huge ovation. Concessions were 1/2 price 30 minutes prior to showtime which was fantastic. Billy Joel is a national treasure and I highly recommend anyone to see him perform live.
One of the best concerts I've ever been to... Billy's voice was great, and I love how he interacted with the audience! Sellout crowd was on their feet the entire time, singing along with Billy to all of his songs! A truly unforgettable night!!!!
Had a fantastic time at the Billy Joel concert. MSG is an amazing venue. Clean, plenty of security and food choices. Great sound. An evening I'll never forget.
The talent in Billy Joel's band is unsurpassed. They played all the favorites. Billy sang so well and played the piano as though those fingers belonged to a young man. He was humorous and engaging with the crowd. Can't believe this residency at MSG is almost over. Thanks for the memories.
If you don't have your tickets - I feel sorry for you! Mr. Billy Joel played for appr 2.5 hrs at MSG. We were in the lower bowl, row 21, corner, behind the stage (yes I said "behind the stage") and had thee absolute BEST view!! We were practically on top of him - nuts!! I didn't know what to expect with the seats - but get 'em!!! We had an unbelievable view... (Billy Joel's piano rotated throughout the show! It was crazy good! I felt like i stole the tickets!). As for the concert - what do I say?!?!? We were speechless!! Can't believe how incredibly awesome it was!!!
