Billy Joel is pulling in the crème de la crème of music to farewell Shea Stadium this week. Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, Steven Tyler and Roger Daltrey joined Joel at Shea this week for the final concerts at the venue before it is shutdown.The McCartney aspect was historic. One of the first times The Beatles captured the hearts of the American people was at Shea. McCartney played at that same venue just one year after it opened and was there for the close.
Earlier this week, Don Henley and John Mellencamp joined Joel on stage.
Earlier in the show, Joel performed The Beatles `A Hard Day`s Night` but did not mention that Sir Paul was coming on stage later in the show. When Sir Big Mac did arrive on stage, Joel sang back-up to McCartney on `I Saw Her Standing There`.
McCartney also closed the Joel show with a solo version of his Beatles classic `Let It Be`.
