All Billy Joel’s Guests and Milestones During His Record-Breaking Madison Square Garden Residency

Before Billy Joel's residency at New York's Madison Square Garden finally reaches its end this week, a look back at the run's many memorable moments.

Billy Joel, the legendary singer-songwriter who is concluding his decade-long residency at Madison Square Garden Thursday (July 25), has a lot of friends — in addition to the nearly two million ticket-buying fans who have flocked to his repeat performances at the Manhattan arena he’s called home since 2014. In the meantime, he’s also managed to rack up an impressive number of milestones as one of the most esteemed and popular live performers of his era, particularly in conjunction with the Manhattan venue familiarly known as The World’s Most Famous Arena. Opening the third year of his Garden residency, Joel’s set list includes covers of Derek and the Dominoes’ “Layla,” the Allman Brothers’ “Midnight Rider” and Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir.”
