Billy Joel plays his final monthly residency show at MSG Thursday

Billy Joel will play the final show of his monthly residency at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. It will be his 150th lifetime performance at the Garden. His first performance at the venue was 14 Dec 1978, and his monthly residency, the first of its kind, started in January 2014. With his 65th show in July 2015, Joel broke the record for the most lifetime performances by any artist.
