I was really expecting Billy Joel to wrangle up much better special guests than Don Henly, John Mellencamp, John Mayer and Tony Bennett for the first of two final shows at Shea Stadium. Night two is Friday........

Yeah, wouldn't it have been great if he'd dug up John Lennon?
All of the guests who appeared have considerable appeal, especially to the type of crowd Billy Joel attracts. They were all well received & appreciated by most of the audience.
