[EltonBillyMSOFan]

Any one who wants i can send a link with the whole concert in Mp3.

Just send me a message

[BostonStateOfMind]

5 minute history lesson!

[MissusFingerBottom]

it's strange to sing this song in a tux! 

[xinfuth]

Joelfan, Is this video your own record from the TV?

[abrantesgay]

they can do that coz they knows music

[alexyalan]

I don't know how they do it, hoho I imagine, but this version sounds different from the one in the album, from the millennium concert i mean...

:O

[mhvr85]

@alexyalan the millennium concert album was exagerately edited. The original show lasted over 3 hours...the album a little more than 2 hours. they took off PRESSURE, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, UPTOWN GIRL, PIANO MAN, MIAMI 2017, THIS IS THE TIME, plus a couple of covers from hendrix, presley and led zeppelin....it sucked!!! i tell you this cause I got the complete show in audio long time ago

[puffball9]

Dude he's the piano man...so why the fuck is he playing a guitar?

[TheTerminalMoose]

That little guitar part at the end reminded me of Hendrix's style. Billy Joel is TIMELESS! Incredible!

[TheLiverednecksshow]

WHERE can I see this whole concert???

[JoelFan]

Protest to sony/bmg!

Billy Is planning on releasing a video anthology next year so hopefully this show will be included in full

[PrinceOfDahaka]

@JoelFan I think the show goes on for about four hours so that'll be one helluva dvd when it's get out. Not that i'm complaining as i've only heard the cd which is only about 2 hours of the whole gig.

[burninup4jonas1]

we heard this in social studies

[jmurray01]

we didn't bankrupt GM. no they had it coming building big suv's. kinda got a ring to it. or maybe its just me, hahaha!

[meness93]

we listened to this yesturday in history

[ChrisMurphy15]

[meness93]

good song isn't it

[NewMadrid01]

BILLY JOEL FUCKIN RULES

[Kevrocksmoviereviews]

Hey, Now a day.... does Billy shave his head or is he going bald???

[JoelFan]

Kevrock he's going bald...

[ruhtraeel]

Dude he's 60 now lol

[angelfeather75]

yesterday we had 2 listen to this in history

[chrisfi3d]

and thats what brought your attention to watch this on youtube right? :)

[kiWisBlossom]

in the original /non live song he sounds a lot younger. and now he sounds old. =[ still a great sond tho

[sexitaliana629]

i saw him last year for the last play at shea...omfg it was amazing! the whole stadium was shaking

[EmberLovesRay]

Great song

[ilkovsky]

Paul Aronoff ripping up the drums right there! :)

Great Billy Joel show.

[yum484]

i really really liked it when he added that "Psycho" sound! and oh, im glad he added The Catcher in the Rye, love the book♥

[brandoncipelle]

yeah but think about it the guy proably has hundreds of songs to remember so i give the guy break good song .

[TheLiverednecksshow]

yeah but he forgets a lot of his lyrics

[EmberLovesRay]

when did he forget the lyrics????

[melakun]

its a lot to remember lol

[kingcompany]

i know the whole thing lol, it only took a few months 4 me to learn them hehehe <|D'''

[TheLiverednecksshow]

Was this from the show he did on new years 1999? He always makes a big deal and says he will not tour anymore every now and then but he is coming back this march!

[1996lilchristine]

luv tht song!!! i no it by heart: i wonder how he can remember the lyrics;D

[carldagroundskeeper]

I guess if you perfrom it for as long as he has, it gets easy. He said in the last disc of the greatest hits 1973-1997 collection that he just looks at someone in the audience who's mouthing the lyrics and he just looks at the them for the whole song and he knows he won't forget cuz they know. hehe :D

[Emi252288]

he probably sang it so many times that he just knew it after a while I mean he's been singing it for years

[Emorkia]

he wrote it, he should know the lyrics.

[ChuyitoM]

yo billy joel is awesome live

[TheFool7]

Greatest song ever. I know every word. ;)

[illekobob]

shit he's good

[CanOfSoup32]

Dude, no way I could memorize all those lyrics. Nice conga player too

[masterozz350]

fuck yea this song rocks!!

[takheads]

its funny how 2000 wasn't actually the start of the milenium.

[deb61uk]

who really cares?

[ryannotsheckler]

this was posted a day before my b-day

....like it matters lol

[sevenstep14812]

Something about Billy Joel never gets old!!!

[Laoruperteen18]

@sevenstep14812 apart from his age.

[MyKindOfBlueEyes]

Billy was totally full blown drunk for this show. His dancing in the beginning is hilarious. This version is also kind of boring. It's way too slow. He still rocks, though.

[mastersam93]

You think Billy will ever get too old and forget the words half way through this song?

[OboxerU]

The day might come where he might have a teleprompter like some other performers.

[oasidghlasdgk]

Yeah!!

[jennine415]

well it's um FREACKEN in sane

[sorenlp]

1970 - Neil Diamond: Done Too Soon

1987 - R.E.M: It's The End Of The World As We Know It

1989 - Billy Joel: We Didn't Start the Fire

here you go...

[gameshowguy2000]

Did the song come out the same time as the album it debuted on ("Storm Front" also 1989)?

[remgrbeyond0982]

Can someone help me figure this out. Which song came out first? It's the End of the World (by REM) or this song? I think Billy Joel copied the idea from REM and it has gone unnoticed. The similarities are there.

[Bruuuuuuuuuce]

Ever heard "Done Too Soon" by Neil Diamond? That one came out before both of them.

[sexitaliana629]

shutup...billy is one of the most amazing songwriters and performers in the world!!! who else could sell out madison square garden for 20 days straight in 15 minute flat

[gilbygil11]

hell no!!!!!! billy joel came first, and you write that down!!!!

[BongZrGooD]

Nope, We didn't start was on Storm front, released in 89... It actually describes his life from 49 til 89...

REM released "end of the world" in 87...

Those are facts, and they've been recorded, so you write that down, and remember...

[BongZrGooD]

There are similarities of course, but does that have to mean Billy Joel copied the idea?

They are totally different songs, and maybe it is not as much that it has gone unnoticed, but it's a form of paranoia on your behalf? ;)

[batfan903]

This is my all time favorite Billy Joel song!!

[DogSw3de]

Yes, it's the best song.

[coppimex]

Tis is great!!! coul you post more from this amazing concert??---...or could you tell me wherecan I get it??? please?

[sevenseasofrhye7]

If I remember correctly the Millenium concert was released on DVD.. try amazon or eBay? :]

[JoelFan]

The Millennium Concert was not released on DVD.

However a very *small* amount of this footage was released on the video "ABC 2000 The New Millennium Highlights"
