Auld Lang Syne (The Millennium Mix)

[shekisha69]

I was a little girl when AIDS was discovered and when the Berlin wall fell I do remember American bandstand and the challenger blow up

[1986Omart]

I cannot listen to this in its entirety and remain dry eyed. I feel the strength, dedication, capacity for good, the capacity for evil...that resides in us as a race.

[BrendaDoyle3]

They left out the OKC bombing,which at the time was the worse act of terrorismon on US soil! Remember April 19,1995? I do,I was there!

[v10lini5t19921993]

Man is caught between the past and future

[geekjoe82fromhell]

people argue on you tube for 1 reason and 1 reason only

FOR THE BITCHES SON!!!!!

[ie4evafulevas]

[starrylala]

[KillaWasabi]

this vid is touching

[dulos69]

Cool! but next time try to make it all in English language please!

[Reneshelly]

This song breaks my heart!

[bjr43]

Love this song, try to play it every New Years Eve.

[Soccergalz3514]

this is an amazing video. it has told us many things that have happened in the past 100 years. it has taught us that the segregation we had, no longer stands, with our just inagurated president barack obama. fantastic job! ;]

[HyPNoTiiZe87]

all the Presidents we had before Obama did something for our country lets see if he can turn this all around and make peace with all the countrys we are at war with

[stew1213]

peace? he just missled Pakistan

[HyPNoTiiZe87]

wow this is all very true we look back to see what all this stuff that could happen in the future i hope not becuz we got a presdient that can only say quote * Yes We Can* the stuff that happened in this vid would have never happened if we had the amount of fire power we had now back then but this vid is really nice it makes me look back at wht happened back then and make s me want to go back and fight the wars my self

[cooldogc]

that is so beautiful

[flixcritic]

Despite the corrections that were made by "the commenters", you did a fine job with this. You covered a lot of decades here! Cheers and Happy New Year! May we all get closer to peace in 2009!

[misscutek]

We've come really far. Now all he has to add is . YES WE CAN !

[Jaimo1985]

You have "we must be in heaven Man" credited to Cheech and Chong. It was Wavy Gravy at Woodstock

You have "Everyone on Sesame Street is always talking about love, Yuk" Credited to Big Bird, It's Oscar The Grouch

[straightofdahood]

this is great dude. You wonder, why do we need reality TV, when he have all all this?

[bigslutface]

wow that was seriously amazing! great job, I absolutely loved it!

[stargen5]

This is great job!!! Very Nice!!!

[mycokerulesyayD]

your mama you disrespectful asshole

[J0RD2K7]

wtf is this !!!!!!!!!!

[gps456]

UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL. makes me want to cry of joy..

[petewkro]

Your Space Shuttle Challenger Quote is wrong. Mission Control did not say "Rock and Roll Challenger", the quote is "Roger, Roll Challenger". This is an order for the Pilot to perform the roll maneuver after clearing the launch tower so that it can hit it's proper point in space.

[loop231]

This was truly beautiful

[jmromeo25]

awesome!!!

[holliday1888]

This is great!!!! I Loved it.Thanks for posting.

[gabbyx93]

I'm only 15 and haven't seen a lot of history but this song makes me cry because it is so beautiful. I wonder what great things the future generations will accomplish.

Happy almost New Years everyone :)

[boys4boys22]

We'll be singing this very soon, in about 30 something days...happy new years eveyone!

2009!

[gps456]

CHEERS!!

[scht101]

I watched a documentary and found out that the "Juden" clip was actually not Hitler, but his minister of propaganda, Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

[anorthgrave]

its very American but its good

[anorthgrave]

This is amazing.. holy crap

[TapJazzBalletDancer]

cool video. I love that song.

[boys4boys22]

The only part that struck me in this song was the "I Love Lucy" part...made me choke and brought tears to my eyes...

[tsarett]

Good job! You even sync'd the text with the drops in the record. Did you do it for the "Freedom Mix" too?

[jessanexx]

the freedom mix includes 9/11 right?

[n3mm]

no, it was before 2000. This video is for all the major event before 2000

[tsarett]

Kudos to dicksonvm who spent a lot of time getting all the quotes in and formatted so it would be read as the song was playing. It still sounds good after all these years. If you like it, call your local radio station before the Christmas holidays and ask them to play either this or the "Freedom Mix" that we did a couple years later. JJ, FOTRP, Inc.

[kristenzbf]

I love this song... it sends shivers down my spine it is so touching in a way

[tsarett]

We produced the record and when I listened to it tonight, I still got goosebumps and teary-eyed. When Lou, Dave and I were putting the record together there were many nights we'd just sit back, play what we'd put together and just cry.

[Michelle1613212922]

WTF IZ HAPPENIN TO THE WORLD *Crys*

[DailyBoing]

sucks.

[NotesCollector]

An excellent video!Words fail to describe it..

[way8611]

It's so touching!!

[Mihajasoa]

Good job!

[davidewart11]

i wish i was born 3000 years ago

[airbornedante]

Hands down the best piece of music ever put together! Love to see the young people admire this. I am from Mass used to love the Kennedys but now I am right all the way however Kennedys still know how to give the great one liners in speechs. Even Al Gore says the right things about Columbine !! Very Very powerful, I wish the leaders would follow through with all the stuff !!

[Haydenselles]

i agree with you daninnj

im 14, and i cant believe i missed this all, so far the biggest thing happeing is the iraq war... but in the 1900s, millions of stuff happend, like the beatles, its hard to belive that in 200 th biggest thing to hit the worlds music industry was trance and dance music

[daninnj]

I tear up every time I hear this. I'm only 19 and there is so much history I missed, such as the Cold War, AIDS being discovered, Elvis, etc. Wish I could experience the events mentioned here first hand.

It also saddens me that people of my generation don't really pay attention to the news or have an interest in history. I fear for our lives in the next few decades but at the same time, I believe things will become better.

[rotccadet2010]

Things are definitly not going to get better they will only get worse. Our generation is full of retards

[Matze7192]

you're right... every day i walk outside, i exclusively see retards! i don't know how the world in 10-15 years will be, but I'm afraid of living in a nation with a majority of idiots.

[rotccadet2010]

dude were fucked!

[Thunderjake101]

@daninnj I completely agree, I am 17 and I have a love of history. But the kids in my generation could care less about the past. The past is the past, right? Nein, not even close. I, too, by the time we have children, history will be forgotten.

[DML2451]

@Thunderjake101 so true and its because people just don't care about it and one anther like we all use to.

[GiraffesForSale]

@daninnj You wish you could have experienced AIDS? You think that the discovery of a severe disease that affects millions worldwide was good news? Oh, and the Cold War, it must have been a really thrilling time to live, having to worry about Russia dropping a nuclear bomb on you every single day. What fun.

[Movin2Elite]

@daninnj Relax Kid, live for today for it is tomorrows history. AThings may look bright and cheery back than but you forget how far we have come...Cold war was no treat for those who lived in constant fear of the nuclear bomb, WWII was hell on earth. Yes, the Grass is always greener but don't forget the uncertainlty, destructive aftermath of war, polio, segregation of the time...We are IN history but you just dont see it but you eventually will...think technology, Sept. 11th, Black President etc

[DML2451]

@Movin2Elite well what else is their? Except on improving things we already have. That and having no other significant events except 4 new presidents, and other bad stuff 2 come as the world turns older and we all become less wiser of what's goin on because its all bad anyway.

[Movin2Elite]

@DML2451 What in the world is wrong with you? Do you ACTUALLY think people living in that time thought they were in history? I hate to break it to you lad, but for 90% of the population it was just another day...We worked, paid rent, and watched the news, IN FACT, ppl in the 50s wished they lived back in the 1800s when America was "pure". So You want to know what else is their? Well ull find out in 30 years when other "kids" start posting the "how much I wish I lived in the 90s era" bid.

[DML2451]

@Movin2Elite the problem is that their is so much negativity in the world. that its sometimes its hard to c the good. u have to force ur self for some people 2 c the good. Also, its dosen't help when people make negative comments about things that say theirs nothing else for anyone to do, but we can improve our own technology and help others and make the world a better place.

[TheCrewProductionCo]

@daninnj amen

[inurface1526]

@daninnj Well said, VERY well said.

[MrOver9000dollars]

@daninnj

Yeah.....the last century was so...epic, for want of better word. They did EVERYTHING. Learned to fly, learned to go to space, invented radio, atomic energy, TV, internet......there's nothing left for us to do this century, lol.

[MrFlylice]

@daninnj For what we missed in the 20th Century, we shall live to see it in the 21st. That's the thing about history, you don't know it's going to happen until it does. Thus, we shall write our own story for future generations to study.

[puupydoger]

@daninnj BUT WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED!!!!

[Usnarl]

Mankind is capable of great evil but more importantly capable of great good.

Maybe it's time we put away our toys and stop fighting amongest ourselves and hating others and start making ourselves better than we are.

If people would stop and watch this video then maybe this dream will come true.

[rotccadet2010]

Were not capable of shit!

[thewalrusking1]

it also wasnt Ed Sullivan on the beatles quote, ed sounds really distinct, but man is that a great recording, wish someone would update it

includes the 9/11, iraq war, etc. but its funny when this was made some of the things in it are no longer deemed that huge, like its too bad mark mcquire was honored to be in this.

[Trentacus]

No, it's best to stay as it is now.. I am not sure anything of this quality could be made with just the last 10 years. Maybe when the century is over they could make it worth something to listen

[tsarett]

We did update it a couple years later on Kenny G's "Wishes" album. It's called "Auld Lang Syne - Freedom Mix". You're right - it wasn't Ed Sullivan, but the guy who put this together for Youtube did a great job! If you'd like a copy of the "Freedom Mix", you could contact Arista Records.

[Lukin4SumthnReal]

I love Kenny G's music!!!

[SupermanLives26]

SAXAMAPHONE ROCKS!! seriously.

[tomjune1983]

why do people argue on youtube?

[dlpine]

tomjune1983, i am guilty of arguing on yt myself when feeling provoked. just this morning i received a comment which i have no idea why it was directed at me. i let it go.

i am going try hard to make commentaries about videos and not towards people when negative. wish me luck. and merry christmas.

[Doodsjager]

hey that's a good attitude :)

[dlpine]

thank you, Doodsjager, though it's not always easy to do. alot less stress, time and trouble!

[jeremy91511]

does anyone know where i can get this song whithout the voices? i really need it for something

[Sinni]

most of the holiday cds has it on it, or you could pick up Kenny G's Holiday album, it has both the Millennium and the traditional versions on it

[lakersr2cool]

this song is really beautiful, but also sad.

[Lucylover1986]

only error I notice is that it's oscar the grouch & not big bird who says the sesame street line.

[AnotherCracker]

Also, the Giants were still in New York in 1951, and the "I Have a Dream" speech was made in 1963, if I remember correctly.

[stou2301]

And the new Auld Lang Syne begins with

"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on." - George W. Bush, 2003.

[CaliBeach0007]

Read Tim Weiner's new book about the CIA. There was a consensus in the intelligence community, as well as in all other policy and government sectors, that Saddam had WMDs. That statement is, of course, historically significant. But one must recall the context.

[stou2301]

There's a difference between saying, there is a consensus that Iraq probably has WMD's, (which if you read Richard Clark's book you see that this "consensus" was made by excluding evidence that disagreed with the administration's view. Also see Joe Wilson.)

VS

"Hey we found the weapons, and the laboratories". That is a deliberate lie.

[chazzman65]

yes i do!!!!

[youseffZ]

remember the history

[yelloweyescharles]

kick ass kenny g cool!!!!!!

[smithcarljr]

that was amazing!!

[everlag]

very nice you should do this next century

[djcritikal]

This song is what I studied for the History 12 Final Exam. Very Appropriate. Kinda like primary-sourced "We Didn't Start The Fire"

[marshk3]

Fantastic x
