BILLY JOEL: LAST PLAY AT SHEA

1 X 90' HD
DIRECTED BY PAUL CROWDER

---

This documentary film is centred on Billy Joel's 2008 concerts of the same name that occurred at Shea Stadium. The shows were staged on July 16 and 18, 2008, before a combined 110,000 fans, and were the last performances ever to play the historic stadium before it was demolished.

Using historical footage, animation and concert performance to tell a broader story of Shea Stadium's history and how that related to changes that occurred in American suburban life and how they affected Long Island and Billy Joel. The film reveals several previously unknown facts.

The film also includes Pete Flynn, who was the Shea groundskeeper who did the improbable by driving the Beatles from the stage to a centrefield gate in 1965 - he then drives Paul McCartney from the stadium's rear entrance to the stage to perform at Billy Joel's Last Play at Shea concert some 43 years later in 2008.
