Billy Joel/Gavin DeGraw

The folks at Live Nation are such big fans of singer-songwriter Billy Joel that they pulled out all the stops when they announced that he was coming to town at a press conference held at Quicken Loans Arena earlier this year. They had memorabilia from the Piano Man’s many Cleveland concerts and enlisted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Greg Harris to talk about Joel’s significance. Earlier this year, Joel signed an exclusive deal with Madison Square Garden and announced the dates for this extensive tour. Joel hasn’t released a new studio album in years so expect to hear the hits at tonight’s show. Joel last played Quicken Loans Arena in 2009 when he teamed up with Elton John on the “Face 2 Face” tour. Quicken Loans Arena. (Niesel)
