Although details are still coming together, Columbia is eyeing a June 13 release for "12 Gardens Live," a double-disc concert album chronicling Billy Joel's record-breaking 12-night sell-out run at New York's Madison Square Garden. The shows were part of Joel's first major tour in eight years, which will resume in Europe beginning June 26 in Vienna.

"People ask me how I get psyched up for a show," Joel recently told Billboard. "When I walk out and I'm standing on the stage when the lights go up and there's this huge roar, you're psyched up. We basically haven't changed our philosophy from the early days. Whether we're playing clubs, colleges, arenas or stadiums, tertiary markets or major cities, the focus is on that particular concert."
