Last night, Big Apple favorite Billy Joel performed his 100th residency concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The historic event yielded special moments, including guest appearances. Taking the stage and joining The Piano Man was comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who provided an introduction ahead of “Vienna,” in addition to a pair of duets featuring Sting. 

After starting the show with Turnstiles cut, “Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway),” Joel and company turned their attention to the 52nd Street originator, “My Life,” before the emergence of Seinfeld, who told the audience, “I’m from Long Island, like Billy is from Long Island.” Continuing, “He captured how we all feel living in this particular part of the world. Long Island. New York. He’s like a companion that we’ve gone through our whole lives with. His music is our best friend for our whole lives.”

Prior to the ascent of Joel’s landmark venue banner, Seinfeld hit on the interconnectedness of Joel and the New York experience, adding “I don’t think we can understand how much is music means to us, being from where we are.” 

After another helping of fan-favorite material, Sting arrived to assist his host with two numbers. The collaborative moment picked up with the pair dueting Joel’s original “Big Man on Mulberry Street” before changing things up and concluding their joint live appearances with a take on The Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” which represented a debut for the night’s host.
