New York State of Mind

"New York State of Mind" is a song by Billy Joel from his fourth studio album, Turnstiles (1976). Although never released as a single, it is both critically-acclaimed and amongst the most covered of Joel's songs. Joel plays it fairly regularly in concert. In October 2001, he performed it at the Concert for New York City, the benefit concert for members of the New York City Fire and Police Departments, as well as the loved ones and families of first responders killed during the September 11 attacks. He reprised the song and theme, playing it during his set at 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 12, 2012, when he changed lyrics to include "Breezy Point" and "Oceanside".
