Free Music Notes for 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert
Free Music Review: Wonderful...especially for the lesser-known songs.
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this double-CD in the Amazon Marketplace a couple months ago, and it's been playing on my iPod nearly every day since then. I LOVE it. And I've been surprised to find myself liking the lesser-known songs best! In particular, "Summer Highland Falls" and "2000 Years" are wonderful. Both of them put you in that front-porch, rocking-chair, glass-of-lemonade-and-a-sunset kind of mood.
Amazon's reviewer does make some good points, though. Billy's chatter at the end of most tracks can get annoying, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker. And it's fixable, too. If you use iTunes, you can change the start/end times (right-click the song, click "get info," and choose the Options tab). If you don't use iTunes (and the song's in an mp3 format), you can use Audacity to trim off any parts you don't want.
Once you do that, this double CD set is absolutely delightful. I haven't gotten sick of it yet, and I've been listening to it almost every day!
2000 Years: The Millennium Concert Poster
Much has been made of Billy Joel's plans to ditch his career as a rock & roller and age gracefully into the supposedly sanguine world of classical music. Maybe it's the right thing to do if, as it seems, he's run out of gas as a pop songwriter. Recent years have seen no new material, only box sets and reissues of his old albums. Now comes the capper, a live album from his Millennium Concert recorded at New York's Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve. Certainly there's still some mileage left in Joel's catalog, particularly ballads like "Summer Highland Falls" and "I've Loved These Days," and, considering the nexus of the occasion and Joel's career plans, his version of "My Life." And he also turns in sharp performances of signature pieces like "Angry Young Man," "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," and "You May Be Right." But his between-song patter may grow tiresome over repeated listenings. Joel is known to be pretty full of himself, but after hearing him rattle on about high ticket prices and his classical ambitions, you may have had your fill of him, too. --Daniel DurchholzClassic Rock Music CDs
