ZZ Top's Billy Gibbon's surprise appearance at Billy Joel concert

"That was a fantasy come true." said Billy Joel

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons made a surprise appearance at a Billy Joel show at Madison Square Garden to join the band in playing La Grange and Tush.

"From a Billy to a Billy," Gibbons said to Joel. "He's almost got it. Can I have a guitar?" The band then launched back into "La Grange," and Gibbons traded solos with Joel's lead guitarist Tommy Byrnes, Joel and saxophonist Mark Rivera.

The band then revved into "Tush" — a set list mainstay for Joel — with rhythm guitarist Mike DelGuidice handling lead vocals as usual. As Gibbons left the stage, Joel said, "That was a fantasy come true."

Looks like the lads had a great time. Check out the fan footage here.
