Billy Joel question

Has Jb ever covered a Joel song in a show? Only the good die young seems like a song he would do. I could find any in the db, though.

I'm just not able to conjure up a steel drum caribbean sounding version of Only The Good Die Young with Jimmy's voice in my head. That song was not at all laid back or Jimmy's style.

I can't think of any Billy Joel song I'd like to hear Jimmy sing.

i thought with the piano, saxes, trumpets, and harmonica, I'd could see him pull it off, especially with his break-free-from-catholic-school attitude.

RM plays DownEaster Alexa from time to time. Maybe Jimmy would like the LI connection to that song.

A few years ago the NY Post gossip section said Billy and Jimmy attended Steve Martins birthday party(I think it was Steve's) and they performed a duet of Unchained Melody.
Take it for what it's worth.
I'm a huge Billy Joel fan and there are a few songs I could see Jimmy pulling of:
Rosalinda's Eyes
Only the Good Die Young
River of Dreams
