At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Billy Joel played extra songs during his show to reward fans who braved the dreary weather last Friday. Due to start at 9pm, the show was delayed for about 45 minutes.
Joel played five fitting rain-themed songs like "The Rain in Spain" and covered Prince's "Purple Rain", making sure that fans were not disappointed by the show due to a mere rain.
Billy Joel also thanked Ben Folds, the singer-songwriter and pianist for making a sacrifice on being rained on during the concert.
