Billy Joel

In February 2015, Billy Joel was firmly in the midst of his celebrated Madison Square Garden residency, a gig that highlighted his enduring popularity and strong connection with fans. Before this performance of 'Say Goodbye To Hollywood', an iconic track from his 1976 album 'Turnstiles', Joel had released 'The Stranger' in 1977, which catapulted him into stardom with hits like 'Just the Way You Are.' Interestingly, 'Say Goodbye To Hollywood' itself was inspired by the tumultuous changes in Joel's life, reflecting his struggles and ambitions as an artist. This live version from MSG not only shows his skillful storytelling but also his ability to engage a packed audience, reminding everyone of the timeless power of his music—it's no wonder he’s often referred to as the Piano Man!
