Billy Joel

In this live recording at Madison Square Garden on November 30, 2016, Billy Joel delivered a powerful performance of "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)." This concert came during a remarkable phase of his career, as he was in the midst of his ongoing monthly residency at this iconic venue, which he began in 2014. Before this recording, Joel released his 2014 album, "Ghosts of Cape Cod," a project that showcased his journey through personal reflections and nostalgia. Interestingly, "Miami 2017" is a song that touches on themes of change and resilience in the backdrop of a dystopian New York City. The juxtaposition of its reflective lyrics against the vibrant energy of a sold-out crowd highlights Joel's enduring connection with audiences and his ability to breathe life into classic tracks, making this recording truly memorable.
