Virgil Films has announced the Blu-ray release of
The Last Play at Shea, which chronicles the intersecting histories of Queens' landmark Shea Stadium and the legendary performer Billy Joel. The film focuses on the Piano Man's two memorable concerts on July 16 and 18, 2008; the final shows at the longtime home of the New York Mets.
The Last Play at Shea arrives on Blu-ray on November 18th.
Official Synopsis: An engaging look at both the highs and lows of the Mets and the music career of Joel,
The Last Play at Shea weaves interviews with players and performers with footage from the goodbye concerts, in which Joel played many of his classic hits. Serving as a tribute to what the Mets, Shea and Long Island native Joel have meant to the city, the film is above all a musical celebration that includes Sting, John Mayer, Roger Daltrey, Garth Brooks, Don Henley, Tony Bennett and others, who all share their stories of these electric summer nights.
The film, narrated by New Yorker Alec Baldwin, also includes a surprise appearance and performance by Paul McCartney, who, with the Beatles, gave the historic first rock concert at Shea more than 40 years earlier.
Virgil has yet to detail tech specs and special features.
