2000 Years: The Millennium Concert is a two-disc set and the third live album by Billy Joel, released in 2000. On 05/31/2000 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. Though some alterations were made before its release: some songs are not the same version featured in the original concert (like "Big Shot")[citation needed], 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 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.
Some versions of the album that were released out of the United States are basically a compilation of moments from the concert[citation needed] 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).
