The much -hyped live telecast of Joel's 100th Madison Square Garden gig had been delayed by Masters coverage overrun (CBS has no choice but to show those old white racist fossils who run the Augusta National Golf Club putting the green jacket on the winner) and just as Joel was in the middle of "Piano Man" at 11 p.m., the plug gets pulled in the Eastern and Central time zones for local news--Oops!:


Some affiliates either apologized on-air or on social media for the error--the Mountain and Pacific time zones did get the concert in full and you can stream it on Paramount+.

Piano Man is usually the pre-encore finale. And I don't think it was live: IIRC, it was recorded a couple weeks ago.

The 'special guests' were known ahead of time, which makes me believe it was previously recorded.

Hollywood Reporter says it was (or would be, based on the date of the article) recorded at the March 28th show - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/billy-joel-100-msg-concert-cbs-1235821721/

If you have the right combination of connection and a lot of disposable income, Joel's last MSG show of this monthly residency is in July.

Best,
David
