How to watch ‘Billy Joel: The 100th at Madison Square Garden’ TV concert re-air, where to stream live
After a broadcasting error during Billy Joel’s 100th concert at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, CBS will re-air the entirety of the TV concert special on Friday, April 19 at 9/8c.
“A network programming timing error ended last night’s Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones,” a CBS statement read. “We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song. Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, Billy Joel: The 100th live at Madison Square Garden will be rebroadcast in its entirety on CBS on April 19th at 9:00PM ET/PT.”
Since his first show at the venue on Dec. 14, 1978, through his final residency show this July, every single one of Joel’s concerts at Madison Square Garden has been sold out. Sunday’s performance, however, was Billy Joel’s first-ever concert to air on a broadcast network, according to CBS.
