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.

If you are a Billy Joel fan or just like his music then this show at Madison Square garden is a must, its like Billy Joel performing in his back yard. A MUST. We might do it again, next time we are in NYC.
From the moment Billy Joel walked on stage, he owned the crowd and Madison Square Garden. His voice is pure soul. I love a performer who engages the crowd and let's everyone sing his songs while he listens. It felt like a real love feat. The band, lighting and selection of songs and well my first time seeing BJ live, this was a concert of a lifetime! I really did feel like an Uptown Girl!
I saw Billy Joel at MSG on August 7, 2014. I have always wanted to see Billy Joel in concert and could not have picked a better forum to see him play. The show was fantastic. Billy was in fine forum. He played all of the hits that you would want to hear. Also right in the front row was no other than his ex-wife Christie Brinkley who he pointed out while singing Uptown Girl. I would suggest anyone who can get out to see one of his remaining shows at MSG ...do so..
Billy still has it, amazing voice and puts on a great show. Hoping to see him again :)
This concert was Amazing, having seen Billy play a number of times I knew what to expect, he always puts on a great show. This concert surpassed all expectations. I think he just loves playing at MSG and wants to be performing and that definitely shows!!! Thanks Billy for still performing, happy to come all the way from the west coast of Canada to visit you again and again for performances like that one!
Gavin Degraw opening was perfect! I loved that he came out in to the crowd to sing...made for a wonderful experience. Billy Joel rocked the house!! I didn't know he was also that funny! The encore was everything to be expected and more
Billy put on a excellent show, we are very glad we travelled all the way from Canada to go the concert. MGM theatre is a great place for a concert.
This was a fantastic show. Billy played all of his hits and his voice was still spot on. Show lasted for 2 hours and the fans were still clapping for more. Loved the set when he did a couple of "Elvis " tunes and also the ACDC tune by one of his roadies. All in all a super night.
Have been a Billy Joel fan since he came on the scene. Have never seen him live before, so when by chance he was going to be in Las Vegas for one night while we were there, I just had to go. It was one of the best concerts ever! He is fabulous live - doesn't miss a beat and puts on a great show. So happy I was finally able to see him live - now a bigger fan than ever.
I didn't know what to suspect , Billy started out mellow and as the night went on it was amazing. Sung all his greatest hits!! Will go again.
First time seeing Billy Joel live was unbelievable. My wife said I had a permanent smile throughout the performance. She couldn't believe I knew the words to almost every song. Definitely the best and most memorable live performance I've ever seen....Thanks to everyone from crew to Gavin DeGraw and Billy Joel for a night we'll never forget.
Billy Joel has still got it. Great show by the Pianoman.
Concert was excellent ! Billy Joel sounded amazing. His humour kept us on our toes .
Billy Joel has still got it! Loved hearing all the old songs and watching all ages sing along.
Madison Square Gardens is certainly the best place to see Billy. The crowd was cheering every move. Joel sang a great set. Lots of hits, some odd tunes off old albums, some covers and asked the singer from AC/DC to join him for a metal ditty. It had everything!
Hadn't seen him before, and was very impressed. Billy Joel can still sing well, and blew me away with his piano chops!
Classy guy singing all his classics. As long as he comes to Toronto I'll go see him. He still sounds fantastic after all these years.
It was a great concert with balads ranging from his early music up to his current music. It was a wonderful experience and enjoyable.
The music was well played. All of the musicians delivered the maximum quality of performance, with tremendous enthusiasm. The performance was long and packed with content. Billy spoke warmly and clearly when recounting a few anecdotes. He connected very well with his audience.
It was an unforgettable night. Billy still rocks! Awesome concert.
