Billy Joel

On October 30, 2015, Billy Joel delivered a stirring rendition of the national anthem at Citi Field, just prior to Game 3 of the World Series, showcasing his deep connection to his New York roots. Leading up to this performance, Joel had released his last studio album, 'Songs in the Attic,' several decades earlier, highlighting a significant shift in his career towards touring and live performances. His earlier work, however, had cemented him as a staple in classic rock history, especially with hits that resonated through the 70s and 80s. It’s interesting to note that by this time, Joel had become a beloved figure in American music, often referred to as the 'Piano Man,' and his live shows were a testament to his lasting appeal and artistry over the decades. This performance was just another example of how he continues to capture the hearts of fans, both old and new.
