Garth Brooks made a guest appearance last weekend
during Billy Joel's concert at Shea Stadium in New York,
the last concert performed there before the stadium is
torn down after this baseball season. Garth was dressed
in a Mets jersey and sang Joel’s “Shameless,” which was
a big hit for Garth.
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith performed “Walk This Way,
Roger Daltrey of the Who, which played at Shea Stadium
in 1982, sang “My Generation” and Joel smashed a guitar
on the center-field stage...just like Garth did.

However, late Friday night, in fact about three hours into the Joel
performance, he turn the mic over to Paul McCartney, who, he said,
had just flown in from London.

The sold-out crowd of 55,000 people let out an ear-splitting roar as
Mr. McCartney sang the Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There,” with
Joel singing backup and looking on from his piano as if he were just
another fan himself.

Before beginning “Let It Be,” McCartney alluded to the Beatles’ first
concert at Shea in 1965, the year after the stadium opened. “It’s so
cool to be back here on the last night,” he said. “Been here a long
time ago — we had a blast that night, and we’re having another one
tonight.”

This concert was the second of two farewell shows by Joel, who told the crowd earlier in the night: “They’re tearing this house down. I want to thank you for letting me do the job and keep doing it — the best job in the world.”
