Joel, who described Beck’s dying as “the top of an generation” on Twitter, advised the MSG crowd that he “at all times beloved” the Rock and Roll Corridor of Famer.
“He used to be the most productive,” stated the “Piano Guy” singer, who added that he “couldn’t let the evening move by way of with out doing one thing by way of Jeff.”
Joel and his band later carried out the Alabama State Troupers’ “Going Down,” a track that The Jeff Beck Crew coated in 1972.
