See Billy Joel Bring Out Phish’s Trey Anastasio at Penultimate MSG Residency Show

Billy Joel brought out Phish’s Trey Anastasio for a couple songs Saturday during the Piano Man’s penultimate gig in his longtime MSG residency.

There are two musical acts immortalized in the rafters of Madison Square Garden, and they both finally met onstage Saturday at the New York arena as Billy Joel brought out Phish ’s Trey Anastasio for a couple songs during the Piano Man’s penultimate gig in his longtime MSG residency. Despite long sharing the same stage albeit on different nights, Phish — who have covered hundreds of different artists in their eclectic set lists over their five decades together — have never tackled a Billy Joel song live. As JamBase notes, there were long rumors of a Garden turf war between Joel and Phish after the two acts bickered over scheduling the arena, but that speculation was probably put to rest with Saturday’s collaboration.
