Billy Joel

Before the live recording of "The Entertainer" at Madison Square Garden on April 15, 2016, Billy Joel had just released his 2014 album, "Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel," a compilation celebrating his iconic hits. At this stage in his career, Billy Joel was in a magnificent resurgence, delighting fans with his legendary status as a live performer. The ongoing residency at Madison Square Garden, which began in January 2014, was a major highlight, proving his enduring appeal. Interestingly, when he performed this live rendition, it wasn't just a run-of-the-mill show; he dedicated the song to his late music publisher, which added a heartfelt context to the performance. Billy's ability to connect emotionally with his audience remains unparalleled, making every live recording a timeless treasure.
