Billy Joel during two concerts at
Shea Stadium in
New York City on July 16 and 18, 2008. It was released on March 8, 2011. The film was produced by Jon Small, Joel's former bandmate in the 1960s groups
The Hassles and
Attila . The film aired on
PBS as part of
Great Performances .

Pete Flynn was a Shea groundskeeper who did the improbable by driving the Beatles from the stage to a centerfield gate in 1965, then driving Paul McCartney from the stadium's rear entrance to the stage to perform at
Billy Joel 's "Last Play at Shea" concert 43 years later.
