About 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert

2000 Years: The Millennium Concert is a two-disc set and the third live album by Billy Joel, released in 2000. On May 31, 2000, it was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 250,000 copies. 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. 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. 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 semitone lower. "New York State of Mind," "I've Loved These Days," and "This Night" are a tone lower. "2000 Years" is a tone and a half lower.
