2000 Years: The Millennium Concert is a two disc set and the third live album by Billy Joel, released in 2000. (see 2000 in music).

The album was recorded on New Year's Eve 1999 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, though some alterations were made before its release: some songs are not the same version featured in the original concert (like "Big Shot"), others were edited in studio (some YouTube videos of "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" show Billy singing out of key, while in the album he doesn't) and, contrary to what's been said about "12 Gardens Live", this album marks the 1st time Billy lowers the key of a song, as heard on "I Go To Extremes" and "Only The Good Die Young". Some versions of the album that were released out of the United States are basically a compilation of moments from the concert with two bonus tracks: "This Is The Time" (live from the concert) and "Just The Way You Are" (the original version).
