For his final show of the year, Billy Joel performed at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on New Year’s Eve (December 31). To mark the special occasion, Joel was joined on stage by Jason Bonham – son of legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham – to perform “Whole Lotta Love.”

The performance took place in the middle of Billy Joel’s set. Jason Bonham’s band – Led Zeppelin Evening Jason Bonham performed earlier in the evening to open the show.

“We’re going to have a guest on stage and perform the next song,” Joel told the audience. “We have fun playing this, especially with this guy. Please welcome Jason Bonham. You all know this song. This is not a piano song.”
