Editor's Pick
Editor's Pick Billy Joel at Jones Beach Theater — Hometown Show
Billy Joel's annual Jones Beach Theater hometown show — the most-sacred concert ritual on the Long Island calendar. The Hicksville-raised, Cold Spring Harbor-resident Billboard Hall of Fame inductee returns to the 15,000-seat amphitheater on the Atlantic for a single summer night. The LI deep-cuts come out. The crowd is the most-LI crowd you'll see at any concert. The sunset over Bay Parkway during the opener is structurally perfect. Forty years of LI summer history in one show.
