What can you say? Billy Joel is rumored to stand to make $20 million from the run of 12 shows at MSG, and it'd be worth every penny. The show was a solid 150 minutes and it was all Billy, all the time. As usual he seemed to have a genuinely good time performing and to really get a high from the audience participation.
