Billy Joel told us Madison Square Garden represents far more than a just solid venue in the “Big Apple”: “Look, let's be real — I'm from New York, I was born in the Bronx, I grew up in Long Island, so this is my venue. Madison Square Garden. Fortunately for me, Madison Square Garden is a world venue. You can play almost any other arena in the country and nobody else in the world was gonna know about it — but when you play Madison Square Garden, the entire world knows that you played Madison Square Garden.”
