Such a great time to be a coming-of-age teen. I remember being very amazed to experience the turn of a new millennium. Seeing that ball drop made me emotional then...
Idk if it’s weird or no but Sometimes I tear up when realize that I’m not gonna be alive to see the day we turn to a new millennium💔 it really breaks my heart sometimes that I’m not gonna see this see the new year of 2100 too💔 RIP to us
Same here. Whatta memory! I was 13 years old and remember running to my computer after the ball dropped, which I left on, and the date sure enough rolled back to like 1917 or something crazy like that. I promptly changed the date and everything was fine lol.
I was there in Times Square 6 hours before the ball dropped. A friend invited for a week in NYC then. I was a few blocks away when the ball dropped. It was amazing to be there! One of the best experiences ever! :)
Stray Dog Peopel still party like they did in the 90s? Please tell me where these parties are, I was born in '01 and unfortunately didn't get a chance to experience anything 90s wise😭
I watch the 2000 ball drop every year on the 31st of December. It gives me chills hearing Clark say “Welcome to 2000!” I almost want to cry because of how special this event was. But to all the people who didn’t experience 2000 like me, only year from now in 2025, we get to see a quarter of a century since 2000! I sure do wish I was alive when it became 2000.
Brought a tear to my eyes seeing this footage, thinking about everything that's changed since then (including this whole year), and realizing how lucky I am to have lived through the changing of the Millennium up until this point. Just over four hours left in 2020 (GMT-5), and I hope 2021 will be a much better year for all of us. Cheers and Happy New Year everybody.
I hope you were able to be alive before 2000. It was like the death knell for America. I miss the 80's and 90's so much. Like a lost loved one. Oh...oh, if I could go back. Even just seeing Dick Clark, instead of some 🩰💡🩰 guy in a skirt, and sickening agendas. Racism wasn't being used to divide and conquer us, like it is now.
I remember watching this live with my mom, dad and grandparents in 2000. We all were anticipating for the power to go out or something because of the big Y2K scare. I still remember everyone waiting eagerly and with a bit of trepidation before the ball hit. Nothing ended up happening but it was a fun moment in time I'll never forget.
The software was used by many, so not a lot happened, but in some countries, people died. In Canada, a water treatment plant computer(s) dumped what was set at 100 years of poison into the water, and 9 drank their home water and died before word got out enough. In Paris, the moment it struck 12, their computer running the lights went nuts and scrambled the light display. Oddly I have not been able to find a video showing this, but we watched live.
All the TV stations videos did NOT show the ball drop on 2023. This one in 2000 either! I thought it must be a test to see who's honest.

I couldn't see the ball actually drop in any TV channels' videos, which I thought was strange, but I thought what you said is the kind of stuff therefore going on. It still seems to be there. Maybe they put it back because of your reply! 😄
Ah, I remember this like it was yesterday. I grew up in New York. I was 11 that day. I was there with my family everybody was so excited to see the beginning of a new millennium! It's very nostalgic to see Times Square back then. I feel sorrow when I return to New York to visit my family today. Due to what New York has become over the pandemic. I really didn't expect to get emotional over this but it really was a glorious thing to see if you were there! If I could trade now for then, I 100% would. I still remember it being a little windy and it was INSANELY cold outside. I bundled up for that night. Now, I take my kids to see the ball drop every year in NYC. Because of the wonderful memories, it has left me with.
I miss it too sometimes, I haven't been back home in 11 years...all I hear now from friends and family is they wanna gtfo. This was nostalgic to see though, I was 9 when we were at this ball drop.
Now this is excellent coverage, excellent up close camera view of the Ball. Much better coverage than current & past few years when the cameras don’t focus close up on the Ball. Also this 2000 Dick Clark coverage includes a massive amount of interesting & educational information. This is an example of quality TV coverage of a New Year’s Ball Drop. THANKS ABC!!! THANKS DICK CLARK!!!! Wish you were still with us. RIP 💖😀🎉🥳

That night (December 31st, 1999), I was in Hicksville, New York (which is on Long Island, in the dead center of Nassau County, about 25 miles due east of midtown Manhattan) at the home of some friends. My then-girlfriend and I had made the trip for that weekend to see our friends there. The next night, my then-girlfriend and I visited Times Square, and there was still a lot of confetti on the sidewalks.
This was phenomenal that year, I was one of those supposedly 3 million and change there in a tree on 42nd Street off of 6th so I wouldn't get squished like a sardine. A once in a lifetime event. The world won't be this hyped until 2100 and millennium again until 3000.
I was only 7 at the time but I remember watching this clear as day. I also remember when midnight hit here on the west coast and everybody in the neighborhood went crazy. A couple of bushes even caught fire.
won't be anything like this, again :( . it was so much fun watching around the world, going into year 2000. it was like whole world got together for one night and celebrate the new year together. now just not same :( I was 16 years old.
Actually, this was from ABC News' day-long millennium coverage (anchored by Peter Jennings) as there was no New Year's Rockin' Eve, but at least Dick still called the ball drop.
I know right? He started in the early morning of Dec. 31, i think 4 or 5am, and ended the coverage at 4:00am of January 2000!! He's such an anchor, also did the same thing on 9/11.@@hurkydoesntknow
That moment when you realize you were alive during the ringing in of the New Millennium not many can say they were alive during this is a feeling that can only happen every 100 years to every 1000 years I wish I could live to 2100.
I remember watching this on tv that night thinking to myself the new future era is here like I was amazed at the thought of what crazy technology would come about starting in the 2000s lol like it was still shocking to me to think that the 90s was over lol I just couldn’t wrap my head around it,
That's because 2000 was the start of the 21st century and 3rd millennium,And it was before 9/11/2001 happened,Way different atmosphere back in those days
watching this from 2019. So trippy to think the 20s will be here again in just a few short months. I hope you all are surrounded by loved ones come the new year.
But you could relive that decade right now! (If you’re willing to, which I doubt you won’t and you’ll continue to live on this modern ill-mannered piece of shit world that we’re living in right now.)
I am happy to have lived seeing the passage between the two centuries and the arrival of the new millennium. I was only a 12 year old girl but I remember perfectly the emotion and the importance of that event.
They didn't exist yet but if they did I'm sure they would have it's no different than having out a portable digital camera so comments like this are so foolish
It trips me out realizing that this occurred nearly a quarter century ago, being 8 years at the time I have fairly clear memories of just how big this event truly was!
I still remember this like it was yesterday. I was in 10th grade and went to Vermont with my family to visit grandparents. I stood in their carpeted living room and waited for all the power to go out like an idiot thinking Y2K was going to turn off the world. Sad to think what happened less than two years later, in that same city.
I was 7 years old at the time. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this as the biggest one in Times Square to welcome a new year. A great time to witness because we won’t live to see the year 3000.
I was at Epcot in Walt Disney world, Orlando, Florida at age nine during this one in a lifetime moment. Yes I kind of wish I was there but you know what I’ve been blessed to have such a wonderful time during the excitement for the coming of the new millennium.
I Was Very Lucky To Watch On TV The Once In A Lifetime Major Event The Coming Of The Year 2000! Matt Drudge Said About The Y2K Disaster That Never Happened When The Millennium Began That It Was Like Hearing A Nuclear War Had Been Called Off. I'm Glad I Saw It On TV And Watch The Late Dick Clark Countdown To The Year 2000.R.I.P. Mr.Dick Clark And Thanks For Giving Us A Lot Of Great Memories! I Await Your Reply.

Although it's meaningless in the grand scheme. Just a number we humans put on the earths orbit around the sun. Now Halley's comet, that's something to see. Mark your calendar for 2061.
It’s a completely arbitrary number lol. Depending on how you classify the years in the human timeline you can even say this year is the year “2000”.
976 years to 3000
Crazy to think… 1,000 years of having the number 1 in front ended at that precise moment.
Yup
And the next 1000 years, having the number 2 right there also known as the 3rd millennium began (technically in 2001)
It wasn’t the year 1 in the year 1. People used a completely different calendar then.
Not necessarily. Not in the US at least
Imagine being in January 1st 1000, adding another digit to the year… that won’t happen again until the year 10,000 which is 7975 years away.

That moment when you realize you were alive during the ringing in of the New Millennium not many can say they were alive during this is a feeling that can only happen every 100 years to every 1000 years I wish I could live to 2100.
Sane here sir, I would have to be a freak 125 to do it, ridiculously highly unlikely.
I remember watching this on tv that night thinking to myself the new future era is here like I was amazed at the thought of what crazy technology would come about starting in the 2000s lol like it was still shocking to me to think that the 90s was over lol I just couldn’t wrap my head around it,
10:08 A MINUTE LEFT!
10:58 10 SECONDS!
11:07 HAPPY 2000!!! 🎇🎆

God bless your soul, Dick Clark... You are sorely missed
I was barely an month old during the start of the new millennium. Its crazy.
Ball drop tradition lives on. Though, ushering the year 2000 seems more exciting then the 2020 one
That's because 2000 was the start of the 21st century and 3rd millennium,And it was before 9/11/2001 happened,Way different atmosphere back in those days
watching this from 2019. So trippy to think the 20s will be here again in just a few short months. I hope you all are surrounded by loved ones come the new year.
So far the 20s suck
@@Riotss take me back to 2019
I was 10 years old and I remember we stayed home for this NYE cause my parents thought the world was gonna end lmao
As a 2006 child I wish I was alive for this. The 1990s sounded so great...
Same, exact same.
@@supizgamerpro101same too
I'll never forget this! Unforgettable! I was 17 soon to turn 18 the day after New Year's Day. Time flies by way too fast!
1999 was my favorite year
I want it that way
End of the 1000’s most historic period
The 1000s was a great memory
Only OG's remember the 1000 ball drop 💯

Here on New Year’s Eve 2024
Wish i was alive to see this. Anyway happy new year!
Whos here New Year’s Eve 2020-2021 ✋ 🤪🤚
i was 21.. first time I took a trip from LA to NY cross country by myself... it was such an amazing adventure.
It’s almost 2022 so you must be 43 now?
I'd love travel back in time and spend my 20s in that era instead of the depressing shitshow we got now
I'm in my late 20s now...
But you could relive that decade right now! (If you’re willing to, which I doubt you won’t and you’ll continue to live on this modern ill-mannered piece of shit world that we’re living in right now.)
Agreed I was 25 in the prime of my life
It's our fault though, every thing one of us.
I was 10 years living in Lima.
3 years later I would start a new chapter of my life: Living in New York City, the greatest city out there!!!
I'm watching the 2018 live show in new York. Complete different world.. : (
seems like back then was more happiness
yeah 9/11 changed alot of stuff!
@@DGoldy303 Osama bin Laden can rot in hell!
Aviix oh fuck off
I am happy to have lived seeing the passage between the two centuries and the arrival of the new millennium. I was only a 12 year old girl but I remember perfectly the emotion and the importance of that event.
The fact this is 24 years ago is nuts
good to see people here actually enjoying the moment rather than having their phones out recording
They didn't exist yet but if they did I'm sure they would have it's no different than having out a portable digital camera so comments like this are so foolish
the best celebration ever
Anyone else wonder since that day from the video. How many of them people have died? Sad life
DIck Clark.
Amir Hali yeah, even though it was 17 years ago
Courtney Does Stuff lol I meant just for New Years
Peter Jennings
Amir especially knowing 9/11 happened not long after
It seemed so much more lively back then. I miss these days so much😭
I get nostalgia just watching this
same here.
2000s quality commentary makes it so much better.
Who's watching this now that we have less than 24 hours until 2020?
Dee TwentyOne less than 10 now
Jacob E. Is already 2020 and I’m still watching this
It’s 2020 and I’m watching this
It's 2020 and I felt that....
Demon God Gamer it feels like a whole different universe
It trips me out realizing that this occurred nearly a quarter century ago, being 8 years at the time I have fairly clear memories of just how big this event truly was!
That moment when you realize was 23 years ago and nobody has smartphones
Disposable cameras and analog cell phones.
Ahh the year I turned 25 those where the good ol days
I was 25 years old in 2000. We are still young!
Shit you’re my mom’s age lol.
I turned 26 in March 2000.
I was 21 in 2000
@@ravishing-troop5276 I turned 25 in Dec 1999
I still remember this like it was yesterday. I was in 10th grade and went to Vermont with my family to visit grandparents. I stood in their carpeted living room and waited for all the power to go out like an idiot thinking Y2K was going to turn off the world. Sad to think what happened less than two years later, in that same city.
I was 9 years old then. back on new years eve in 1999 to 2000 new year. I can't believe it's 2020 already I wish it could be the early 2000;s again.
if only they knew what was coming
You got that right.
@@willy5716 little did we know the y2k scare would pale in comparison to 9/11.
@@dinamule3073 the amount of authoritarian bullshit we've allowed them to get away with because of 9/11
I was 7 years old at the time. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this as the biggest one in Times Square to welcome a new year. A great time to witness because we won’t live to see the year 3000.
Imagine what it'll be like in 3000
@@jj-ce8bb It probably will be some 5D type of robot celebration with people able to fly into the air to celebrate by that time.
I'm glad in the later years they added Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" to the NYE playlist.
I was at Epcot in Walt Disney world, Orlando, Florida at age nine during this one in a lifetime moment. Yes I kind of wish I was there but you know what I’ve been blessed to have such a wonderful time during the excitement for the coming of the new millennium.
Happy New year 2024 !🎉 God bless you!🙏
must’ve been the best ball drop ever
I was born on March 27th of that year, so it's pretty much that I never got to party anywhere else, but my mom's womb.
I was born on March 22nd. Same
My dad was born on March 27th
@Shivani Nohar My parents got married 7 years later lol
September 20 for me of 2000
I had just turned 3 years old on 12/20/99. I wish I had a better memory of this historic event! First New Years I remember is 2001
I Remember Watching This!
time waits for no one so.....do what you love and love what you do.
I Was Very Lucky To Watch On TV The Once In A Lifetime Major Event The Coming Of The Year 2000! Matt Drudge Said About The Y2K Disaster That Never Happened When The Millennium Began That It Was Like Hearing A Nuclear War Had Been Called Off. I'm Glad I Saw It On TV And Watch The Late Dick Clark Countdown To The Year 2000.R.I.P. Mr.Dick Clark And Thanks For Giving Us A Lot Of Great Memories! I Await Your Reply.
So no Y2K............. Before the invasion of cell phones and social media. The good ol days.
And cryptocurrency
Watching this on New Year’s Day 2024
Playing this for my kids so I can send them to bed early! 😂🎉🎆🙌
