Billy Joel will become the last artist to play at New York's Shea Stadium with a concert billed as "The Last Play at Shea, From the Beatles to Billy." Joel joins a long list of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will have played the Queens, N.Y. baseball stadium, beginning with the Beatles in August 1965 and including including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Police, Eric Clapton, Elton John, and Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. "The Last Play at Shea," which comes the day after the Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, makes Joel the only artist to ever have played both Yankee Stadium (two nights in 1991) and Shea Stadium. It is also the first in-season concert at Shea since Clapton and John played there during the 1992 baseball season. One of the most popular acts of all time, Billy Joel has had dozens of hits, including classics such as 'Piano Man,' 'Uptown Girl,' Honesty,' 'Only the Good Die Young' and many more.
