Elton John and Billy Joel played Philips Arena on Saturday night.

The duo, which is most successful and longest-running concert pairing in pop history, reunited for the Face 2 Face tour.

Billy Joel sings "Just the Way You Are."

John and Joel usually open the concerts with a series of duets.

John and Joel first toured together in 1994, and their most recent outing was a sold-out, 24-date trek in 2003.
