Billy Joel concert chronology

The Bridge Tour was a 1986–1987 concert tour by singer-songwriter Billy Joel. This tour was the first tour by Joel in over two years, during which he married Christie Brinkley, had his daughter Alexa Ray Joel, and written and recorded The Bridge album.

Background

Following a performance on Late Night with David Letterman,[1] the tour began on September 29, 1986, in Glens Falls, New York[2] and ended on August 5, 1987, with the last of six shows across the Soviet Union in Leningrad.[3]

The tour continued on October 17 under a new name ("The Encore Australasian Tour")[4] and returned across Australia and in New Zealand. The tour officially ended on November 28, 1987, in Christchurch, New Zealand.
