Billy Joel Shares 7-Hour, 155-Song Playlist Following ‘And So It Goes’ Documentary Premiere

Following the airing of the second part of his And So It Goes documentary on Friday night (July 25), Billy Joel unveiled a massive 155-song, seven-hour companion playlist on digital streaming platforms. The collection features unreleased live recordings, demos, and outtakes spanning his career — from early days with the Hassles to orchestral works. Highlights include Joel’s first-ever live performance of “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant,” recorded on May 6, 1977 at Long Island’s C.W. Post College. The selections also include album tracks that are accompanied by personal song introductions, including the inspiration behind his 1979 Billboard Top 15 hit, “Big Shot.” The playlist on Joel’s YouTube channel also pairs tracks with live footage or his vintage music videos, offering fans a comprehensive musical journey that complements the intimate and endearing portrait presented in the documentary.
