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.
He never does Captain Jack, it seems. I feel like he plays some forgettable elevator music hits instead of more cutting edge ones but overall it was a solid show. Nice to see his daughter perform.
He is the absolute best !!! I have seen Billy so many times and he never disappoints. So sad it was the last time I get to see him at MSG!
When Billy Joel announced the end of his run at MSG, I said to a friend, "Let's go see him one more time."I'm so glad we did. His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life, and he really does put on a great show! So relaxed and funny--loved the "off-script"comments. He performed for at least another half-hour AFTER his encore...and yet there were still hits he didn't perform. Would have liked to hear Just the Way You Are...but all the other great songs were part of the set. And what a multi-talented back-up band of singers and musicians....most impressive. A great way to end a most distinguished career! Thank you, Billy!!!
I’ve been waiting for years to see Billy Joel, let me just say, he did not disappoint! I left MSG filled with joy and happiness. I got to experience this show with my 24 year old son, who just loved every minute of it. Amazing show!
One of my bucket list to see Billy Joel in Madison Square Garden. I knew he would be amazing but the show was outstanding!
True New York City experience! All of his songs and the atmosphere were just amazing! Smiles and happiness abound! Would go again, and thrilled to have been able to attend one of Billy Joel’s last few shows at MSG! No regrets!!! Thanks, Piano Man!
Show was great the seats were not good at all for the amount of money I spent very disappointed never again
What did I just see a musician do? Jaw dropping inspiring! Can the man play? Yes! Can the man string the English language into a string of pearls that makes a song reside in your heart? Yes! Yes! Can the man be any prouder as a father of his daughter’s talent - and we get to be part of it? YES! And is his band just off the charts? A yelling YES! This was by far, the best concert I had no money to spend on! I’m glad I did. I just saw more than a show. I saw a master of the piano perform - and give so much more than that. I am in awe and respect! Wow!!!!
Billy was amazing . His voice was incredible! So many hits! Was a great show! Worth every penny 🥰
The Concert was fantastic. Even at 75 Billy Joel sounds great and put on an almost 3 hour show. Band was terrific also. Highly recommend!
One of the best concert experiences ever. Worth every penny (and that’s saying a lot). I would go again in a heartbeat.
This was my 3rd time seeing Billy Joel in concert. First time at the Garden. He did a great job! There were 6 of us and all of us were singing and dancing the entire time. He is amazing as ever on the piano. Hope he enjoys his career for years to come.
From the opening song (My Life) to his encore close (You May Be Right) it was pure musical bliss. An entertainer of this caliber MUST be experienced at a venue as iconic as MSG!
For almost 3 hours, Billy Joel captivates the audience with timeless songs and an incredibly energetic band! Joel's voice is flawless, and he has a great time with the audience, telling stories, making jokes and showcasing the band in memorable ways! It was one of our best concerts ever!
Trying to see Billy as many times as I can before his run of shows ends at MSG in July, the 4/26 show was outstanding as usual. He put on another great performance, had MSG rocking from beginning to end. Now, if I could only get a ticket for his final show that isn't over $600!
Although I had a big hassle with getting tickets between Ticketmaster and Citicard (not for April show but July), I can't say enough about Billy this was my 57th time seeing him and will always go back when he comes back to town. He is an amazing performer and artist. He never disappoints. Billy come back to NY soon!!!!!!
Saw Billy Joel on Friday, April 26th at MSG. This was our 9th or 10th time seeing him at MSG, and even though all of the other times were great, this was by far the best show yet! There was so much electricity and energy by Billy and everyone in the band. We'll be back for the June show and the residency finale in July!!
Billy Joel just keeps getting better with age. His voice was amazing and he hit the high notes! So sad the residency at MSG is ending...
In a lifetime of attending concerts, shows, events...Billy Joel had the highest energy, delivered a performance withou gaps, and surely without peer. It was the best show I ever attended, and Mr. Joel has not lost a step!
He puts on an amazing show. But if you have been to any of the shows in the past 10 or even 20 years. It is the same show with 1 or 2 different songs. With such a deep catalogue of hits it’s unfortunate that there is not more variation. Even the jokes are the same!
