The singer will be the last artist to play the legendary New York venue when he performs there tonight and Friday.
He will be joined by around a dozen music stars for the show, titled 'The Last Play At Shea, From The Beatles To Billy'.
The documentary, called Last Play At Shea, is expected to be released in 2009. A soundtrack is also likely.
Joel said of the project: "This is something I've been avoiding my whole life and I suppose I can't put if off any longer."
Shea Stadium became a popular gig destination after the Beatles played there in 1965.
It is closing down because the New York Mets baseball team is moving home in 2009.
