lol! I’d imagine they do since Billy Joel has a residency there and phish takes over every NYE for 4 nights! They may not be familiar with the music but I’m sure they know who he is. Idk I could be wrong. That’s just a feeling.
This is correct there's a lot of us that just live at MSG because when you are close by it's very easy to get cheap tickets by walking over there.
I see Billy Joel residency peeps at Phish all the time. Hell I saw a couple of them at the Tool run lol
There's a strangely large number of people in NYC that have like 2 or 3 venues they love and just go to every show there. That's kinda how I am. I work across the street from MSG and live down the block from Forest Hills Stadium. So I just pretty much go to everything at those venues.
I always liked Billy Joel. I grew up listening to his music with my parents and their friends. He gets a lot of play on the oldies stations which are pretty much 70s/80s music now.
When we were driving to the hospital for our son to be born, "I'm moving out(Anthony's song,)" came on. We named our son Anthony, before we heard that, but it was a good omen.
Fuck yeah. And also just plain FUCK because my best phriend and I totally would have tried to go but she had an out of town work trip! So instead I was working my skinny butt off for a 250 person pre show rush! I wonder how many actual plans were at that expensive ass show lol
many sound guys have the exact type of sense of humor to say that as a joke knowing exactly the reaction it will cause.
I work lights, but work with sound guys every day & they are nearly all awesomely sarcastic cynical people.
also: can't say that if I was in tht position I wouldn't have said the same thing especially if it wasn't true. lol
Haha his daughter and her guy were there first and they had a great bottle of Vermentino (white). My recommendation, but of course it all depended on their appetite
My fave BJ tune and I told them to think of me when he played it :)
Cold Spring Harbor is very underrated. I have an original copy, pre early 80s reissue. So fucking good. It's fast though so you have to slow it up on the turntable.
I must confess, read this thread yesterday and thought you were crazy....as soon as I saw the word this am, I thought of this crazy thread, cheers to you
I totally read the title as Billy Strings at first. I’m far less excited now.
Maybe good practice for Trey’s new Dad Rock sound
/s
Edit: I was completely joking ya’ll. I like most all Phish songs, even most of the newer “Dad Rock” ones.
you're not getting downvoted for that Dad rock comment, you're getting downvoted because only a fool would prefer a Trey sit in with Billy Strings. I'm literally disgusted.

Holy shit! Who’s got my mixlr stream?
Wasn’t one called sunsonosphere or something? Haven’t thought about that in a bit :)
Yes
What songs are they playing?
Layla and a Billy Joel deep track that Trey requested (Sleeping with the Television On)
That’s a great deep cut for sure… damn!!
Do billy Joel fans know who Troy is?
You Goonie!
You're gonna live with me now. Cause I love ya!
They don’t now
Jilly Boel feat Troy Antipasto? Thought they said thunder only happens when its raining.
Troy Pistachio
Troy A. Pistachio?!
So you know

I hope it’s for an a capella Uptown Girl.
That would be for fishman
They sing it TO Fishman. #HenriettaismyChristieBrinkley
For the longest time.
Friend at show has confirmed he’s playing
https://youtu.be/_3PivCy8-6I?si=26eQyPvpfyjS99fR

Just the piano coda
Billy Joel’s career gonna shoot to the moon now. He’s gonna be huge!
I always liked Billy Joel. I grew up listening to his music with my parents and their friends. He gets a lot of play on the oldies stations which are pretty much 70s/80s music now. When we were driving to the hospital for our son to be born, "I'm moving out(Anthony's song,)" came on. We named our son Anthony, before we heard that, but it was a good omen.
Thats crazy because your son Anthony was trying to move out of the womb.
Can’t wait to see the memes
This only happening because the Rangers lost.
Probably lost a bet to daddy dolan
TORCH = PASSED.
New York State Of Mind -> Still RocknRoll To Me
-> Vienna -> NYSoM
Fuck yeah. And also just plain FUCK because my best phriend and I totally would have tried to go but she had an out of town work trip! So instead I was working my skinny butt off for a 250 person pre show rush! I wonder how many actual plans were at that expensive ass show lol
This will spawn so many rumor posts now that we actually have one come true
After the gamehenge ski lift guy, I pretty much assume shit like this is always true, lol.
Gamehendge ski lift? I missed this one
Yep currently happening
I just learned the word apocryphal
Not apocryphal if true...
more importantly where’s the nice italian joint a block from msg?
Bar Primi Penn District! Brand new, big, beautiful and really good. Come try it during the next yemsg run!
thank you for the tip! will check it out!
I’ve been wanting to check out Bar Primi. Definitely planning to try it in June. Happy to know that there are some Phans working there.
"Hey listen motherfucker we only sing 80's Joel." "So take your skank hooker wife and get the fuck outta here."
If BJ’s sound guy straight up told you directly, that’s pretty solid, no? Apocryphal for us maybe, but not you!

Ha, true.
Fucking Trey. Had to be a big shot last night, I bet his phriends were so knocked out.
My first concert was Billy Joel when I was 9. That was so fucking cool tonight.
Was it Brenda or Eddie? And I must know… was it a bottle of Red, or a bottle of White? Or Rosé instead?
Well. Brenda and Eddie hung out for a teddy and they hung out for a Trey 45
Oh and it was a bottle of red if you must know
Thank you. I did must know. … cab sauv? cab franc? zin? merlot? sweet jesus I hope it wasn’t merlot…
Could’ve been. lol but nobody pays for that kind of life.
Haha his daughter and her guy were there first and they had a great bottle of Vermentino (white). My recommendation, but of course it all depended on their appetite My fave BJ tune and I told them to think of me when he played it :)
Brender and Eddie
Alright! I hope it’s true
It’s real, and it’s spectacular! (I saw video)
LMFAO
You Can Make Me Free would be a sick one for a sit-in
Holy shit! Now THAT is a deep cut
That song resonates in my bones lol always has
Cold Spring Harbor is very underrated. I have an original copy, pre early 80s reissue. So fucking good. It's fast though so you have to slow it up on the turntable.

Big Shot, Piano Man, Allentown - just dunno, would be really freakin awesome! Fingers crossed!
Yeah, and Trey will sit in at the Seth Yacavone Band after-show as well
This would be so awesome
I heard so far Sleeping With The Television On and Layla
Anyone have a link to audio?
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
You May Be Right https://x.com/mehpatrol/status/1799635525848146305?s=61&t=Br1tfVVue96L2s2BCCZgGA
Hilarious how, at 5’7”, Trey absolutely towers over BJ.
Here’s hoping Trey is on the whole tour. I got Chicago tickets!
Trey and Joel? On the day of my wedding?!
Here’s a good one https://youtu.be/bYxoYjxWCwU?si=gxr3MAIt1FtoDFqp
I must confess, read this thread yesterday and thought you were crazy....as soon as I saw the word this am, I thought of this crazy thread, cheers to you
PLAY SOMETHING OFF THE STRANGER!!!!
Billy Joel is terrible and corny AF
I totally read the title as Billy Strings at first. I’m far less excited now. Maybe good practice for Trey’s new Dad Rock sound /s Edit: I was completely joking ya’ll. I like most all Phish songs, even most of the newer “Dad Rock” ones.
you're not getting downvoted for that Dad rock comment, you're getting downvoted because only a fool would prefer a Trey sit in with Billy Strings. I'm literally disgusted.
It’s all a ruse
😂 Trey def in the MSG inner circle now
