2000 Years: The Millennium Concert is a two-disc set and the third live album by Billy Joel, released in 2000.
The album was recorded on New Year's Eve 1999 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, during Joel's The Night of Two Thousand Years Tour. 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 offkey, while he sings perfectly on the album). 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert also marked the first time several songs had to be transposed to lower keys to accommodate Joel's deepening voice. "Only the Good Die Young," "Goodnight Saigon," "I Go To Extremes," and "The River of Dreams" are a half step lower. "New York State of Mind," "I've Loved These Days," and "This Night" are a step lower. "2000 Years" is a step and a half lower.
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)).
