Billy Joel took to the stage at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, delivering his final performance in a remarkable 20-year residency that has cemented his status as one of the greatest performers of all time. The crowd was electric from the opening notes of ‘Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song)’, the iconic hit that kicked off the show. Joel, dressed in his signature black suit and tie, wasted no time getting down to business, launching into a blistering rendition of ‘Piano Man’, which had the audience singing along at every turn. The setlist was a masterclass in crowd-pleasing, with fan favorites like ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ and ‘It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me’ getting the full treatment. Joel showed no signs of slowing down, his voice and piano skills as sharp as ever. Throughout the performance, Joel worked the room like it was a living, breathing entity, engaging with the crowd and sharing stories about the songs he played. The encore was nothing short of spectacular, with ‘Uptown Girl’ and ‘Only the Good Die Young’ bringing the house down in a frenzy of applause and cheers. As the curtain fell on Joel’s residency at Madison Square Garden, it’s clear that this is an artist who will continue to thrill audiences for years to come.
