Billy Joel played his Auckland, New Zealand show on Saturday night ahead of his one-off Australian show in Melbourne this coming weekend.
Billy’s last show in New Zealand was 14 December 2008 and before that March 1998 (with Elton John).
Melbourne can look forward to a similar setlist in a slightly different order. While the Joel show juggles the songs each time, the songs are generally the same although Billy dropped ‘Modern Woman’ and ‘New York State of Mind’ at this show compared to his last New York show but added ‘She’s Always A Woman’.
