Billy Joel concert chronology

Billy Joel in Concert is an ongoing concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Billy Joel.

Background

After completing the 2010 Face to Face Tour with Elton John, Joel did not return until 2013. He played several concerts, including Sydney in Australia [3] as well as four concerts in the United Kingdom. [4]

The tour began in Sunrise, Florida, with two concerts at the BB&T Center in January 2014. [5]

Madison Square Garden

The tour created a concert residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Joel committed to playing one show a month at Madison Square Garden as long as there is a demand for tickets. His first monthly show at the Garden was January 27, 2014. At his thirteenth consecutive monthly performance on January 9, 2015, Joel broke his 2006 record for the most consecutive sold-out shows at the venue. On July 1, 2015, Joel set the record for most shows at the Garden by a single artist; his 65th all-time show broke the record previously held by Elton John and the Grateful Dead. [6] [7] His 74th consecutive monthly and 120th all-time MSG performance was slated for March 2020, but had to be postponed due to COVID-19. [8] Joel resumed his MSG performances in November 2021. [9]

The long-running residency has included various guest performers over the years. [10] In June 2023, Joel announced that he would be ending the residency. [11] The final concert and his 150th overall MSG show was held on July 25, 2024, [12] with Axl Rose as the special guest, together performing "Live and Let Die" and "Highway to Hell". [13]

The 100th residency show was held on March 28, 2024, with Jerry Seinfeld and Sting appearing as special guests. Seinfeld presented Joel with a banner in commemoration of Joel's 100 MSG residency concerts hung on the rafters of the arena. Sting performed with Joel on the songs "Big Man on Mulberry Street" and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic". [14] The concert was televised on CBS on April 14, 2024, and became available to stream the next day on Paramount+ as Billy Joel: The 100th - Live at Madison Square Garden, marking Joel's first ever concert special on network television. [15] Due to an over run error from CBS' 2024 Masters Tournament coverage cutting into prime time, the show was delayed by half an hour, and part of the final minutes were cut off by several CBS stations to air local news. Several viewers complained, and CBS aired a rebroadcast of the entire show on Friday, April 19, and the timing error was fixed. [16]

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Joel performed the last concert at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum on August 4, 2015, prior to the venue's extensive renovation. [17] [18] The venue re-opened its doors on April 5, 2017, with Joel being the arena's first post-renovation event. [19]

Set list

This setlist was performed at the January 11, 2019, concert held at Amway Center in Orlando. It does not represent all shows throughout the tour, except in 2024, he debuted a new song, Turn the Lights Back On. [20] [ better source needed ]
