TOUR NOTES

The original piano man and band continued their long string of sold-out dates, with 30 shows during 2015, helmed by Billy Joel’s longtime front of house engineer Brian Ruggles. And it continues through 2016, including plenty of dates at this New York son’s favorite venue, Madison Square Garden.
