Billy covered a lot of Beatles tunes, in addition to Day Tripper (some of which he also played on the originals): A Hard Day's Night Blackbird I've Got A Feeling Get Back Eight Day's A Week in addition to covering a few post-Beatles songs: My Sweet Lord All Things Must Pass Billy killed.

I have a nice live bootleg of Billy Joel & Elton John performing "Come Together" and "A Hard Days Night," they are very good. | |

Daniel Ash (from Love and Rockets) did a really interesting cover of 'Day Tripper' on one of his solo albums. | |
