Billy Joel once again reigns over the renovated Nassau Coliseum, after a banner bearing his name was raised to the rafters Monday night.
The new banner bears the number 33 — the number of concerts Joel will have performed in the arena following his show Wednesday night, the first since the arena’s $165 million renovation.
Joel has kept his plans for Wednesday under wraps, but he did mention that he would pay tribute to area veterans to commemorate the fact that the arena will still be known as the NYCB Live’s Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
