Billy Joel

On December 31, 1999, Billy Joel took the stage at Madison Square Garden for a truly memorable New Year's Eve concert, marking a significant moment just as the millennium turned. This live performance of 'This Night' comes after the release of his 1997 album, 'The Songs in the Attic', which revisited some of his earlier hits in newly polished arrangements. At this point in his career, Joel was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, having transformed his classic repertoire for a new generation. Interesting tidbit: this concert was not only a celebration of the New Year but also a reflection of Joel's journey through decades of music, earning him a reputation as one of the most enduring figures in rock history. The excitement in the air that night was palpable, as fans eagerly anticipated the dawn of a new millennium together with one of music's greats.
