Billy Joel played 'White Christmas' with daughter Alexa Ray at MSG, marking the first time he'd played the holiday standard in 21 years
was eight songs into his show at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night when his daughter Alexa came out to lead the band in a rendition of “White Christmas.” The Irving Berlin classic is one of the most covered songs of all time, but Joel hasn’t performed it since December 13th, 1998, also at Madison Square Garden.
Joel has been joined by many guests since beginning his monthly Madison Square Garden residency in 2014 — including Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Miley Cyrus and Peter Frampton — but Alexa is his most regular one with five appearances. At previous shows, she’s joined him for “Baby Grand, “‘New York State of Mind” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
Prior to Alexa’s appearance on Wednesday night, Joel played “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” along with the 1982deep cut “She’s Right on Time.” The rest of the show was devoted to live favorites like “Allentown,” “All About Soul,” “Piano Man,” “Only the Good Die Young” and the grand finale of “You May Be Right.”, Joel remains an enormous draw on the concert circuit. Beyond his monthly stint at MSG, he also spends the summer headlining baseball stadiums around the country.
