Paul Simon Helps Billy Joel Close Nassau Coliseum

Last night Billy Joel played the final concert in the 43-year history of the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Long Island native was joined by legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon for a three-song segment in the middle of the 32-song performance. Simon emerged 10 songs into the set to lead Joel’s band through “Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard,” “Homeward Bound” and “Late In The Evening.” Later in the night, Billy Joel welcomed King Of Queens star Kevin James to help on piano for “Miami 2017.” Joel threw a few bust outs into the mix as he performed “Until The Night” for the first time since December 31, 2013 and “Captain Jack” for the first time since February 21, 2014.
