Billy Joel performed his 150th show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Thursday. Joel previously said of his record-breaking residency: “When this franchise run at Madison Square Garden began in January 2014, I said I’d play one show a month ‘as long as the demand continues.’ I never imagined I’d still be playing one show a month 10 years later.
