Billy Joel joined Paul McCartney in a special surprise appearance to climax Paul McCartney's second and final night at Yankee Stadium Saturday night.
Joel joined in on "I Saw Her Standing There." The two have been making a habit of showing up at each other's shows. McCartney showed up during Joel's series of final Shea Stadium shows and Joel returned the favor when McCartney opened Citi Field, which replaced it.
McCartney did some minor tweaks to the set list, opening with "Magical Mystery Tour" instead of "Hello, Goodbye," switching the order of "Jet" and "Junior's Farm" and adding "I Saw Her Standing There" (for Joel) and taking out "Day Tripper."

Comparing the two shows, Randy wrote us, "Both shows were great and very similar. The key difference, of course, was the surprise guest appearance by Billy Joel during the encore tonight, so for that alone you'd have to give the nod to tonight's show. I was on the floor both nights and thought the crowd was good both nights, although I did witness some security guards last night telling people to sit down when they wanted to stand up."
He noted that the audience was composed of all ages. "What struck me the most was the wide age range of the audience. Three generations of fans turned out. Lots of people with their families," he said, but "he (Paul) was in fine voice tonight."
May Pang also tweeted, "Macca's performance at Yankee Stadium was fantastic. An amazing 3 hour show!"
