Really enjoying the Billy Joel 100th Live at Madison Square Garden special. Opening w/ “Miami 2017” was incredible. “Vienna” is timeless. And “NY State of Mind”… nothing more needs to be said. https://t.co/lKEiHDRJlK
Billy Joel fans, we have no idea why this happened. It happened at several stations across the country so appears to be a national CBS issue. https://t.co/kAh3e7tUJx
Viewers throughout the Eastern and Central Time Zones had the broadcast of the Billy Joel concert cut off, mid-Piano Man. Evidently, CBS was no longer in the mood for a melody. https://t.co/bVlcIReRXn
Good screwup by @news4buffalo to cut off Billy Joel MSG special in the middle of "Piano Man" finale to go to local news. Master control clearly set up for 30-minute delay after Masters, but it was more than 30 minutes. No finale, no closing credits...Terrible.
Apparently, judging by the reactions on X, every CBS station cut off Billy Joel in the middle of Piano Man. So stupid. https://t.co/CYxsbDIlc6
Did they really just cut out in the middle of “Piano Man?”
CBS-47 just cut off Billy’s last song from MSG, right in middle of Piano Man. Not cool.
What the F @CBS11. Why did you break into Billy Joel in the middle of " Piano Man?" Really. Bad. Decision. by someone.
Wait. CBS just cut off Billy Joel in the middle of Piano Man??
