“To our audience, I want to thank them for coming to our shows for this long,” Joel shared at a press conference in 2023. “It’s hard to end (and) I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful thing that’s happened here.”
Leading up to his swan song, the 75-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has made sure to make each show a spectacle.
At his June gig, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio — no stranger to MSG himself — took the stage with Joel to perform his 1980 curio “Sleeping With The Television On,” a section of Derek and the Dominos’ classic “Layla” and a bit of the Piano Man’s “You May Be Right.”

Billy Joel history at MSG
Joel’s history with Madison Square Garden dates back all the way to December 1978 when he played the arena for the first time on the heels of the success of “The Stranger.”
In the 45 years since, Joel performed at the venue over 100 consecutive months since January 2014 and earned MSG’s records for “Most Lifetime Performances By Any Artist,” as well as “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist,” according to ABC 7.
Back in 2006, Joel broke the record for “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist” at MSG with 12. Soon after, he beat his own record in January 2015.
Three years later, he performed his 100th show at MSG in July 2018. In his honor, former Governor then Andrew Cuomo declared July 18, 2018 “Billy Joel Day” in the State of New York.
Will anyone ever topple Joel’s MSG record?
