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).

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" (live from the concert (Japan release Only)).
