The Last Play At Shea

As many of you know I was able to snag some tickets way back in March to see the recent Billy Joel Last Play concerts at Shea Stadium. Unfortunately work and family commitments got the best of me and I could not attend the shows. The good news is that a couple of listeners to the podcast, Dom and Tony got a chance to be at the Wednesday night show in person.

I have been salivating over the reviews from both shows. Special guests abounded at both shows. John Mellencamp and Don Henley played the Wednesday night show. Steven Tyler, Roger Daltrey, Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks (who wore a Mets jersey) and Paul McCartney graced the stage on Friday. Wow! I'm speechless and I didn't attend the show.

For those of us not lucky enough to be present there's still a way to get in on the event. YouTube is chock full of videos from the event. Just search Billy Joel, Last Play or some variation thereof and lots of gems pop up in the results. I've embedded a video Billy and Sir Paul finishing the concert below.
