Mark is the genuine article, I was lucky enough to know him growing up. He first taught me how to play Oasis tracks on his Hamer when I was 10, seeing him on stage hamming it up with Trey was a big worlds collide moment for me.
I get what you’re saying, but Phish had broken the “most played” MSG record just a few years ago, Billy got it back with this run of shows. They both can call that room home
Yep. Trey steps back & looks for his leader, doesn’t upstage. But yes, Billy’s guitarist should’ve unleashed the hounds! Trey is a humble player with others, but ALL others want him to GO! The most comfort I’ve seen is w/ Tedeschi Trucks. Because Derek and Trey are so comfortable in their own skin there is no worries. Neither care. Win win win win. Susan is necessary too for that, such great chemistry when there is no ego.
One of the best concerts I was ever to was seeing Gene Ween cover Billy Joel songs. Was less than three feet from the stage as Papa Ween belted out Joel songs for a few hours.
Trey very low in the mix. Probably a good call, a full house of MSG there for Billy isn’t dying to hear Trey tear up the song. They want to hear the riff they know. But you’ve really left us Phish fans high and dry. Look what they did to my boy.
I think it was a truce. Billy got frustrated years ago because Phish has NYE MSG locked in indefinitely and he wanted the venue. He said some disparaging remarks about Phish at the time. Looks like they made up
They were covering his ass, Trey doesn’t play these tunes every night, they do. It’s called professional courtesy, and he appreciated it pretty clearly.
Trey can listen to this song once and go out an wipe the floor with them. He absolutely did not need help. He is the best musician on that stage by leaps and bounds.
sax guy, mark rivera was pretty cringe lol. guitar player called out a section or two for him. nbd. the spotlight stealing thing was kinda lol but whatever, that’s billy joel’s bag. looked like they had planned to sing backgrounds with him or something? that moment was fuckin hilarious
Have you ever wondered why Billy Joel never plays The Garden on New Years Eve? Like The Piano Man Trey has his own banner hanging from the rafters of MSG and is very much with it striking distance of surpassing Billy's performance record... Trey built his career primarily by word of mouth when there was no social media and became one of the top grossing performing acts of the 90s...dude is a creative dynamo and a warrior...Google Phish Big Cypress if you don't believe me
Has beens? Phish sells WAY more tickets than Billy Joel. John Mayer burns any of Billy Joel's guitarist's. Playing with D&C some 12 or 13 nights at the Sphere in Vegas. Yep, yapping without a clue. Congrats.

Mark's got it Simple. Cause he plays saxophone in the band.
What is a band without saxophone?
Try being a saxophonist rodie tho😊
Saxophones are grand
Skyballs and saxscrapers

This is some crazy shit and I love it. Seeing Trey out there with the Piano Man is like seeing Larry Bird in Lakers jersey.
😂

@@joshuanodarse7499 Dolan has Trey's ear more than we think. He wants MSG Productions 2 top earners to be on the same side.
😂
they both played for the Knicks though
We didn't start the fuego
Grreeeat shirt idea
Brilliant!
Winner
On behalf of everyone who holds both of these treasures near & dear, thank you for posting this 💜
It's my pleasure
Yay! Let Trey sing 🙂
I love when Trey plays with other artists.
You can see the admiration on his face & looking at them with musical desire of connection
Except for Billy Joel's guitarist. Seems he couldn't care less about him 😂
Yep. Trey steps back & looks for his leader, doesn’t upstage. But yes, Billy’s guitarist should’ve unleashed the hounds!

i love seeing trey this happy
Phish has to cover this song.
I'd much prefer Sleeping With The Television On but I'd be happy with whatever!
The stranger!!
@@CoreyMiles79 I mean?
Phish jamming out Sleeping With The Telivision On would be above and beyond.
One of the best concerts I was ever to was seeing Gene Ween cover Billy Joel songs. Was less than three feet from the stage as Papa Ween belted out Joel songs for a few hours.
Maybe so and maybe not... 😅
My parents went to hs with Billy (when he went to class) and have always loved him. Been a Phish fan since the mid 90s. LOVE THIS!!!!
Man, this is fun to watch!
Very cool! Great quality also - thanks!!
Ya- what type of phone did you use to film this??
Trey very low in the mix. Probably a good call, a full house of MSG there for Billy isn’t dying to hear Trey tear up the song. They want to hear the riff they know. But you’ve really left us Phish fans high and dry. Look what they did to my boy.
Thank You!
Just curious what the reaction was for those who did not know who Trey Anastasio is. Big Billy Joel fan and a HUGE Phish fan here.
You May Be Wrong, Everything's Right So Just Hold Tight!
Rock and Roll has never let me down.
It’s like two universes coming together and erupting
"Everything's overlapping..."
The feud is over.
Neither side could sustain the losses anymore.
Wasn't it Billy Joel that called Phish a second rate cover band... that didn't age too well..
Beef squashed in a fine pate for all to enjoy.
Mark Rivera’s shoulder touch on Trey after his sax solo is great. That’s a Brooklyn shoulder touch. Mutual musician respect. Two amazing dudes.
Thank you to whoever captured this art .
It's so fun watching Billy share his playground with countless other artists!
This is definitely Trey’s playground too. Look up how many times Phish has played there too lol
Never thought I'd see the day!🤯 Amazing!
As a huge Billy Joel and Phish/Trey fan, this is absolutely smoking hot stuff.
I would love to know how this came to be!
I think it was a truce. Billy got frustrated years ago because Phish has NYE MSG locked in indefinitely and he wanted the venue. He said some disparaging remarks about Phish at the time. Looks like they made up
This is more surreal than any Phish show I’ve ever seen.
I was just thinking this was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen and we've seen some pretty weird sh!t 😂
Trey is the busiest man in show business.
Needed a longer solo...so good! Thnx for posting!
How freaking cool was that???!!!
Love it
Goodness gracious. Hell to the yes.
You may be wrong but you may be right
Maybe so maybe not…
Man if CK5 showed up to run the lights!
Kenny Rogers came out to do The Gambler with Phish at Bonaroo in 2012
Wooooooooohhhhhhhh. Rock n Rolll. 🎉🎉🎉
Billy Joel in Seattle was amazing! I bet this was a fantastic show!
thank you so much. so great!
You May Enjoy Myself
LFG
The ultimate respect 🫡
Now its time for billy to come to nye amd sit in w the boys
I needed this today.
This is awesome! Thanks.
Big Red always ready to dive on in wherever you put him
Great job on camera!
The Miano Pan
Thanku
Music rules!
Hell yeah Clay Morrow on sax!🤟
They squashed the beef??
Trey is like Billy does his own stunts too. lol
In case you wanted to know what ego death looks like, take a look at Trey smiling at the guitarist next to him
Trey = Cool
I’m not trying to seem surprised, but I never seen a piano turnaround while people are jamming like that before. That’s awesome.
How much closer could dice clay get to trey? Give him some space we get it you have a guitar too.
I was thinking this exactly…lol.
😂😂. Dice Clay. Like dude, read the room and let Trey solo. He doesn’t need pointers. He’s kinda a pro.
Every person in the front 5 rows…”Who is that…???”
Thumbnail looks like Will Ferrel on the sax.
I thought it was Ron Perlman!
The Diceman on guitar.
Mark Rivera...He has been playing with Billy for 35 years
Interesting to see how they kept Trey so low in the mix. He would have schooled the aging Guido playing guitar for Billy
I think Trey should've run this idea by Mike first.
🤯
WAP
Didn’t Billy Joel talk shit about Phish? Don’t really care, I love them both but that would just make this more interesting.
Wonder if Billy reaches out to Elton and put that feud to rest too.
That issue was resolved years ago
Lmao
Better than Ernest with The Boss.
Why?
Sax player and the other guitarist were so cringe. Leave him alone and give him space.
They were covering his ass, Trey doesn’t play these tunes every night, they do. It’s called professional courtesy, and he appreciated it pretty clearly.
Trey can listen to this song once and go out an wipe the floor with them. He absolutely did not need help. He is the best musician on that stage by leaps and bounds.
Trey is definitely the best musician up there
sax guy, mark rivera was pretty cringe lol. guitar player called out a section or two for him. nbd. the spotlight stealing thing was kinda lol but whatever, that’s billy joel’s bag. looked like they had planned to sing backgrounds with him or something? that moment was fuckin hilarious
you are seeing things that aren't there. Billy's guitarist/saxophone player take up that side of the stage every show guest or not.
It’s weird how good and bad at guitar Trey is at the same time lol
Trey looks like he lost a bet.
Phish fan here.. gotta admit some moments with Billy's guitarist and sax player were cringeworthy :-||
Not at all, please go read the book!
They rightfully drowned out that bum
A Goose fan to boot? You need help.
@@mutoneonUnfortunately I was still able to hear Billy
@markcherone5411 Aww. You liked your own comment as well. Adorable.
Fish fans are as delusional as Maga fans.
DOUCHE! Keeps smelly holes clean. DOUCHE, do not confuse with a person who has a well rounded taste in music. You can find DOUCHE in any cheap store.
Why is Billy Joel bringing out these has beens and never was guitarists on stage, first John Mayer and now this hack/
I always love seeing the losers at the bottom of the comments section. Just where you belong
You are trying too hard. No one will take your hate comments seriously when you try too hard 😂😂😂😂😂
Have you ever wondered why Billy Joel never plays The Garden on New Years Eve?
Like The Piano Man Trey has his own banner hanging from the rafters of MSG and is very much with it striking distance of surpassing Billy's performance record...
Trey built his career primarily by word of mouth when there was no social media and became one of the top grossing performing acts of the 90s...dude is a creative dynamo and a warrior...Google Phish Big Cypress if you don't believe me

Yeah, and Poison still packs em in at the county fairs, is Billy Joel gonna have C.C. Deville up their next?
