In July 2008, Billy Joel performed at Shea Stadium, marking a significant moment as it was part of his Farewell to Shea Stadium concert series. The live recording showcases his deep connection to the venue, as it was the same place where he had performed with Paul McCartney and other legends. Before this iconic concert, Joel had released his album '12 Gardens Live' in 2006, capturing the essence of his dynamic performances across multiple shows in New York. What’s fascinating is that this live show wasn't just a 'goodbye' to a beloved stadium but also a reflection of Joel's illustrious career, having spanned decades with timeless hits.
