Billy Joel

In this touching performance from February 14, 2019, Billy Joel shares the stage with his daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, at Madison Square Garden. At this point in his career, Billy was riding a wave of nostalgia and celebration, having gained immense popularity through his residency at this iconic venue. Prior to this show, he released 'River of Dreams' in 1993, showcasing his knack for blending pop and rock with emotional storytelling, yet this duet revisits the classic 'New York State of Mind' from his 1976 album, 'Turnstiles.' This song has become an unofficial anthem of New York City, reflecting his deep connection to the city. The live performance, particularly on Valentine's Day, added a layer of personal connection as Billy showcased his pride in both the song's legacy and his daughter's talent, creating a poignant moment that resonates with fans old and new.
