The Greatest Madison Square Garden show of all time?

In 1968, the latest incarnation of Madison Square Garden opened in the heart of NYC.
By the 1970s, the arena was the premier showcase for music's biggest stars.

With the '00s ending and MSG's renovation scheduled to begin in 2010, we have four decades of classic concerts and one question: What's The Garden's greatest show? Each week in November, MSG will give you a chance to vote on shows from each different decade, starting with the 70’s.

As much as I love Billy Joel, there is no way any of his shows are 'best ever' at MSG. Maybe at Nassau Coliseum!

I would have said Billy Joel until he fired Liberty, who, from what I've read, was simply trying to help him by participating in a family organized intervention for Billy's issues with drinking! What a jacka$$!

Billy Joel is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. His influence on me and my music has been huge. Seen him in concert many times, but the best was October 30th 1977 at Gusman Hall in Miami. I met and spoke with him after the concert. Life changing.
