Live at Shea Stadium: The Concert is the fifth live album as well as a CD and DVD music compilation of songs performed by American singer/songwriter 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.[1] The documentary film, released as The Last Play at Shea on October 21, 2010, was produced by Jon Small, Joel's former bandmate in the 1960s groups The Hassles and Attila. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and aired on PBS as part of Great Performances.[2]

The two concerts were the last performed at Shea Stadium before it was demolished to make way for Citi Field. It features guest appearances by Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks, John Mayer, Steven Tyler, Roger Daltrey, John Mellencamp, Mark Wood, and Paul McCartney.[3]
