Don McLean and Billy Joel coming on stage with Mr County at The Garden! Voice of the people the fans singing with Mr County. Simply the Best ever of New York!

I was at this show. What a wonderful experience. It was a loooooong day, but so worth it. I live in NYC, Garth Brooks on this night owned NYC. It was a terrific experience.

[@chantalcarlin]

This is fantastic! Two of my favorite entertainers. Thank you so much for sharing this legendary concert! ♥️

Two of the very greatest !

[@paulsetti9484]

I was here, first time I had ever heard of Garth Brooks, let alone hear him. Was really impressed by his hustle. Went for a free Billy Joel concert lol

[@vbelli57]

Was at the concert, great night with over a MILLION people !!!! The crowd was HUGE !!!!!

[@luannelarson536]

Garth brooks you are so awesome

[@codytotten9545]

A masterclass of musical talent

[@txcuti1673]

Billy Joel is a natural country singer 😊

[@1packatak]

He could literally sing the telephone book and create a gold record!

Awesome performance by Garth Brooks & Billy Joel❤❤❤❤❤

[@fakerating]

[@kaylasmith3081]

6:58 always gives me goosebumps. The piano, Garth’s face……love it.

[@TicketyToc]

Chills when Garth hits them New York State of Mind notes 🥶

[@robertpalmer7800]

Remember when New York was a decent place. You could get a slice. Watch people. Enjoy the New York state of mind.

[@Sweetcnj01829]

I was born in the 90s lived whole life in manhattan. It shatters my heart to know these days where actual diversity of thoughts, opinions, cultures, people ideas, and different music were prevelant. It was nice while it lasted! I don’t think i can watch nascar at a bar here anymore and i dont think a big country concert like this would ever happen anymore sadly. It is so homogeneous here now. Bland. Boring.

[@jenniferdijames1671]

I remember that song Billy.

[@jenniferdijames1671]

Go ahead Garth.

[@luannelarson536]

Billy Joel awesomeness

The King went to New York. And he met the Mayor. 🤟

Thank you for posting this. Brings back memories of how great this concert truly was. ❤

[@chipbroadhead4445]

When at this truly magical place. Looked up and Started singing you're on fire (part of the stage was). If only this time 1997 can be New York and Garth giving best memories.........

[@luannelarson536]

[@jasonleemamanddad]

greatest concert ever 👍😃

[@jacko9138]

Sheepshead bay... Very nice Garth!

[@TylerStoneking56]

Fun fact: Billy Joel wrote a LOT of Garth's songs. Thats why his songs were so heavy with piano over most any other country artist. This wasnt random at all.

[@VelvetPlatz]

Ummm...he only wrote one of Garth's songs and that was Shameless.

[@chipbroadhead4445]

Very New York!

[@shelleyking8450]

[@chipbroadhead4445]

What's not to like?

[@groalerable]

why did he get on the piano like that

[@TheMaire65]

He was just in the moment and I think a touch embarrassed when he realized what he was doing 😂

[@tylerkershaw8006]

As much as I love this collaboration, and I truly do, did anyone notice the HUGE musician mess up in the intro to the song?? They recovered well, but as a musician, who has spent half his life (mine) on stage there was a BIG mess up. Listen after the count down to the start. They came in on the wrong note. Now in a bar band setting, the recovery saves the song. But at a pro-level (that I’m sure Garth pays) this flub should have NEVER happened. I’m positive someone, if not a few people got fired.

[@tylerkershaw8006]

Upon further listening, it was the bass players mistake (shocker)

[@calvin4up]

Even at pro level people make mistakes. Doubt they would get fired for one mistake. Being a musican myself no one is above mistakes even at that level

[@luannelarson536]

This is when new york was a place to go

[@Sev_Auk]

Too bad Garth has turned to the dark side. Luckily for all of us though, Billy is still true to his nature and always will be.

[@UnkDrummer]

What do you mean "the dark side"? 🤔 I'm not aware.

[@KyleLeeuw]

Garth is a liberal, but i still love his music! His music has really helped me in my life

[@stianlarsen4475]

Maybe you should examin your brains! Whats wrong with lovin people???

[@calvin4up]

@@KyleLeeuw What has being a liberal got to do with anything important.? Its music leave politics out of it.

[@KingOfTheSeas_]

I have no idea what politics has to do with this, but I will point out that Billy is a Democrat and campaigned for Obama. He openly mocked Trump on stage a few times at MSG and was outraged after Trump's take on the Charlottesville riots

[@musicfanhawk4523]

Such a huge stage for a dude who doesn't dance well or interact with audience closely, I say extreme! + The ear piece wrap around microphone just looks stupid. I can't believe that many ppl were in Central Park, had to of been record setting. I don't remember this from back them, I liked Garth to a point. Love Billy Joels music, have since childhood.
