Let it Be Paul McCartney and Billy Joel at Shea 7/18/08

[MaryJaneWhatsername]

If I was there, I would have cried at how beautiful this is.

Paul playing his song, with 50,000 people singing it back...whoa. That must have been so magical...

epic

[4FabBEATLES]

I cant believe anyone would tear down such a historic place- a place the Beatles played and made a huge impact on the world from

[4FabBEATLES]

what's sad is the Beatles played at Shea when they came to the US- so it had special meaning to Beatles and Beatles fans so of course Billy and Paul played at the final concert- Billy was like a 5th Beatle in studio always doing organ or piano work

[Zebonka]

Umm... Billy Preston was the one who played with the Beatles. Billy Joel never even breathed on them while they were still a band.

I loved that stadium. I still have no idea why it came down. There is no point for it to come down.

[mattgav23]

CITI kind of bought it, and decided to spend a bajillion dollars to build a new one. shame, aint it?

[Auraax01]

The real story is...Fred Wilpon, owner of the NY Mets, spent about $800 million to build the stadium. In return, the team negotiated a 25 year stadium naming rights deal with Citigroup (thus Citi Field). Citi did not buy Shea (it was actually owned and managed by the City of New York). Citi Field is now privately owned and managed :-( . But Shea will always live in the hearts of those who attended baseball games, concerts and other events there over the years.
