SURPRISES: BILLY JOEL BAND Live @Madison Square Garden 1-11-17

In introducing Surprises on 1-11-17 at Madison Square Garden, Billy Joel announced that he has never performed this song live before. I am not sure if he meant at MSG, or in general. In any case, he gave the impression that performing Surprises was a rare occurrence, thus I was compelled to record it for him. This is for you, Billy, with thanks!
