In 2008, Billy Joel performed two shows at Shea Stadium in New York City as a way to close out and say farewell to the venue that hosted many big concerts, including The Beatles, and served as the longtime home of the New York Mets baseball team. Those two shows were turned into a 2010 documentary. The film will be streaming later this month. It's a must-see for any Billy Joel fan.

Newsday reports that The Last Play at Shea will start streaming on the subscription site BroadwayOnDemand.com on January 22nd. In addition to Billy Joel's performances, the film features interviews with Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks, and Don Henley. It's narrated by Billy's fellow Long Island native, Alec Baldwin.

Here's a clip from the film of Billy Joel singing his most iconic song:

Phil Harris is 50% of "Phil & Mel in the Afternoon" on K104.7. He has been with the station since 2013 and on the air in Charlotte since 2000. Before coming to the Queen City, Phil worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, Austin, and Seattle. In addition to the weekly "Throwback Threesome" music video feature, Phil writes about things that matter to Charlotte sports fans and pet owners. He happens to be both.
