Vampire Weekend have performed a cover of Billy Joel 's 'Scenes From An Italian Restaurant' while at Madison Square Garden – check out fan-shot footage of the performance below.

This past weekend (October 5), Vampire Weekend played the first of their two dates at the iconic New York venue, where they paid homage to Billy Joel, who in July wrapped up his history residency at Madison Square Garden that spanned 150 shows .

While Vampire Weekend have played a selection of covers during their encore set during their ongoing tour, the band made sure to differentiate the Joel honouring from their other covers, playing it during their main set.
