Billy Joel - Last Play at Shea - Shea Stadium Concert - Setlist

This concert was amazing and everything you can hope it to be!
Billy did his usual new york cracks and threw in touches in certain songs!
He had MANY GUESTS!!!
(The order is mostly correct - but I might flub some in the middle - he played all the songs and opening/closing,encore is right!)
