Billy Joel

On December 22, 1986, Billy Joel performed a memorable concert at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, during a pivotal moment in his career. Just a couple of years prior, he released the album 'The Bridge' in 1986, which featured hit singles like 'Modern Woman' and 'This Is the Time.' By this point, Joel was already a well-established artist, known for his unique blend of pop and rock with classical elements.
