!!! Oh My Goodness !!! Billy Joel is gonna have a concert special on CBS in April? How exciting Icecream and I wonder if it's gonna be shown on Paramount+ as well? Because if it is i'm definitely adding the concert to my Paramount+ queue so I can see it anytime I'd like

Stupid sports! April 14 is the weekend of The Masters, which usually has a long overrun.

The concert was taped last night.

As for the Masters, put your money on Scottie Scheffler.

Is this Billy Joel concert gonna be shown on Paramount+ on Monday? Also how long is this concert gonna be? Because if it's gonna be a long concert I might skip seeing my reruns of Nickelodeon Guts every Monday and watch Billy Joel's concert instead
Let me know what you find out
Hawkee

It airs on CBS tomorrow, SUNDAY APRIL 14th, 9/8c

HawkeeConcert length is 2 hours. I don't watch on Paramount+, but they probably have it the next day like everything else.

Because of the overrun, tonight's new episode of Tracker will now start at 8:31/7:31. Which means the Billy Joel concert starts at 9:31 eastern time, 8:31 central time. Pacific and Mountain time zones should start at their regularly scheduled time.

Horrible editing by CBS, Piano Man was cut off for local coverage at the end of the 2 hour scheduled time. I had figured two hours wasn't enough time for a concert, as much as I like Tracker they should have delayed it a week and air the whole concert in a longer allotted time.

How was the Billy Joel concert Icecream? Was it any good and did Billy Joel look so handsome as ever? Also did he sing An Innocent Man in the concert too? Because if he does sing An Innocent Man in the concert it will be worth watching because that is my favorite Billy Joel song

HawkeeYes, An Innocent Man was part of it. But CBS did a horrible job editing the concert, cut off Piano Man during the song when the scheduled two hours was over.

Billy Joel Special will Air Again after Abrupt Cut-off on CBS
by Aliza Chasan
April 15, 2024


CBS said it will re-air its broadcast of Billy Joel's 100th consecutive performance at Madison Square Garden after it was cut short for some viewers on Sunday.

Joel was in the middle of singing "Piano Man" when local news began in some parts of the country.




"Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, Joel's performance, filmed on March 28, will air again in its entirety on April 19 at 9 p.m. ET," CBS said on Monday.

"A network programming timing error ended last night's Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones," Julie Holland, CBS's Vice President of Communications, said in a statement. "We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song."

Fans can also watch Joel's performance on Paramount+.

It was all part of the CBS master plan to get everyone to subscribe to Paramount Plus.

Still a stud :thumbsup:

I got to see the Billy Joel concert special this morning and I LOVED it and it was lots of !!! FUN !!!. I was impressed with the way they put this concert together and Billy proves that he still has fun to share. I was surprised that he sang An Innocent Man and he still sings it with such talent. But I could've done away with Crystal Taliaferro's version of River Deep Mountain High and River Of Dreams and put Uptown Girl and We Didn't Start The Fire in it's place. Also where was Just The Way You Are and Lullaby "Goodnight My Angel?." The concert was very well done but I do not see why people made such a fuss over Piano Man getting cut off and ending the show. The version I saw on Paramount+ was the whole complete version and why CBS is rebroadcasting it again is just odd to me. I think CBS wanted to mainly do this so they could fit in the local news and other shows early. I wonder what Billy Joel will say about CBS doing this to his big concert?

Hi, Hawkee! I saw some of that concert. Billy Joel still has a great voice? Glad you enjoyed it! I agree that he should complain to CBS about how it ended. Do you think he will?
DTK

If it was honestly LIVE then I can see the uproar over the show being cut off. But since it was taped....

Why not air it at 8 PM EST instead of 9? The same issue is just gonna come up again.

It only took a major network two attempts to air the correct version of Piano Man. :crazy:

Why I think CBS decided to have Billy Joel's 100th concert was because I think Billy is releasing a comeback album later this year and his new single Turn The Lights Back On is part of this forthcoming new album. When you look at it Billy Joel hasn't released a new album since 1993's River Of Dreams and I think he mainly wanted this concert as a way to show fans he was back and the new song was mainly to promote this new album which I haven't heard anything else about since the single's release in February. But you know what Billy Joel should do in the future? Release a Christmas album because Billy Joel hasn't released a Christmas album before and he would do Christmas songs justice and people would buy the album if it were to exist. But if CBS has another Billy Joel concert special again they better not cut off his singing at the end like they did this concert and I hope CBS learns their lesson and doesn't do it ever again

Yet another chance to see it on CBS tonight.

Speaking of concert encores from Madison Square Garden, SiriusXM is encoring Billy Joel's final 150th concert yet again now. The 2nd half especially kept getting worse, sounded like he was getting drunker as the night went on. I would rather hear songs from his classic era where he isn't getting drunk and is in top musical form. :crazy: If I had paid hundreds of dollars for a ticket on the final one, would have felt ripped off. I would though, like Sirius to play his entire 100th concert that was edited to bits by CBS. He sounded a lot better just a few months earlier this year. But the math isn't adding up. If he had a whole decade of performing every month with having to interrupt in 2020 for shutdowns, maybe that would be close to the 100 in March. But did he perform numerous times a month since the 100th to get to 150? That would make a whole third of his decade long residency this year alone for just 4-5 months. :confused:

I got to watch the Billy Joel concert again on Halloween and this time I was impressed that they finally got the correct version of Piano Man and what I think happened in my eyes is CBS did this so they could add more commentary for it because in between the concert they also had interviews with fans and Billy Joel's band and behind the scenes footage of how the concert was made. But what I think Billy Joel should've done was talk to CBS and ask them why they cut off Piano Man in the first place because I think CBS wants to create a whole series of Billy Joel concerts similar to what NBC does during the holidays with Michael Buble and they want to pay Billy a lot of money to do these concerts. But as I mentioned many times in this thread I think Billy Joel is planning to release a comeback album and his newest single Turn The Lights Back On is gonna be on that album if it ever gets released because Billy Joel hasn't released a new album since 1993's River Of Dreams and all he seems to release are greatest hits albums and a new album is just what Billy Joel fans need

I would've redesigned this concert special and how I would've had the set list is,
1. Piano Man
2. The Ballad Of Billy The Kid
3. Stop In Nevada
4. My Life
5. Big Shot
6. She's Got A Way
7. New York State Of Mind
8. Leave A Tender Moment Alone
9. An Innocent Man
10. Medley: Uptown Girl/Moving Out/She's Always A Woman
11. Vienna
12. We Didn't Start The Fire
13. Baby Grand with John Legend
14. The Downeaster Alexa
15. River Of Dreams
16. Lullabye "Goodnight My Angel"
17. All About Soul
18. Why Should I Worry
I don't understand why CBS couldn't design this setlist for the Billy Joel concert special? But I think that they could've had less talking and interviews and showed the actual concert instead. But I think Columbia Records is trying to cash in on Billy Joel's popularity and they will probably rerelease his albums in anniversary editions in the future due to the HBO MAX Billy Joel documentary

Billy Joel’s Madison Square Garden Concert Film Sets Blu-ray Release

May 26, 2026


Billy Joel’s Madison Square Garden concert special is getting a physical release.

Billy Joel: The 100th: Live at Madison Square Garden — The Complete Concert is now available for pre-order, with the release set for May 29. The one-disc release is listed at $24.98 on Amazon, with a DVD edition also available for pre-order.

The Blu-ray has a listed runtime of 2 hours and 29 minutes.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRCCPGD1?tag=variety0e8-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US&asc_source=web&asc_campaign=web&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fvariety.com%2F2026%2Fshopping%2Fnews%2Fbilly-joel-concert-film-blu-ray-buy-online-1236759326%2F




The release captures Joel’s 100th performance as part of his record-breaking Madison Square Garden residency, filmed on March 28, 2024. The concert, captured in 4K resolution, was directed by Paul Dugdale and produced by Enliven Entertainment.

The physical release arrives after a special run on CNN, which Variety reported drew 5.73 million viewers on its initial Sunday night broadcast.




The concert marked a milestone in Joel’s long-running relationship with Madison Square Garden. The singer ended his record-setting residency at the New York arena in July 2024, closing out an 150-show run that had made him one of the venue’s defining modern performers.

For his final show on July 25, 2024, Joel brought out Axl Rose for an electric performance of “Highway to Hell.”
