At his May 24 gig in Philadelphia, Billy Joel invited second-generation rock royalty Jason Bonham to add drums to two choice Led Zeppelin covers: “Whole Lotta Love” and “Good Times Bad Times.”

Joel opened the show with The Bridge cut “A Matter of Trust” and spent his single set moving through hits like “Movin’ Out,” “New York State of Mind,” and “She’s Always a Woman,” before welcoming Bonham onstage for the aforementioned sit-in.

Afterwards, Joel snuck in a small bust-out, performing “Captian Jack” for the first time since 2017 and even managed to squeeze in a final nod to Led Zeppelin during the final encore of “You May Be Right.”

Check out the full setlist and watch a portion of “Whole Lotta Love” and “Good Times Bad Times” (courtesy of YouTuber ironhead3011) below:
