I went to see Billy Joel last week at Madison Square Garden.  The next day I did a search to find the setlist of what songs he performed and  I found this website.  It not only shows a list of the songs he played but next to each song name is a link so you can play the song.  If you like to go to concerts or just like certain performers you have to check this out!  Enjoy!
