Recorded live at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, December 31, 1999.
Billy Joel recorded this live set at New York's Madison Square Garden, in front of 20,000 of his closest personal friends, on December 31, 1999. The recording has an obvious party atmosphere, but it differs from earlier Joel live efforts in that, apparently stung by criticism that he had at last become the MOR balladeer his detractors had claimed he'd always been anyway, he puts the guitars into overdrive. Even ballads like "New York State of Mind" get what is essentially a garage band treatment. As if to prove the point further, Joel also includes surprisingly idiomatic covers of the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and Sly Stone's "Dance to the Music," both of which hark back to the music he was making in Long Island bars in the late '60s with his first band the Hassles.
