Billy Joel and Boyz II Men Perform The Longest Time Live at Citizens Bank Park

Venue: Citizens Bank Park Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Date: August 2, 2014

In August 2014, Billy Joel was in the middle of his remarkable residency at Madison Square Garden, but prior to this, he had just released his album 'The Stranger' back in 1977, which featured hits like 'Just the Way You Are' and 'Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.' This collaboration with Boyz II Men at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia shows not just Joel's iconic status but also his willingness to connect with contemporary artists. Interestingly, 'The Longest Time' is a nostalgia-laden track reflecting on love and memory, perfectly suited for a duet, and this live performance underscored Joel's enduring popularity, bridging generations through music. It's a testament to his timeless appeal and ability to engage with newer audiences while celebrating his classic hits.
