- On December 31, 1999, I boarded the train from Springfield, MA to Penn Station, NYC to ring in Y2K in NYC. I brought with me my trusty 8mm camcorder and oversized bladder that allowed me to film the evening without break. I tried to get as close as possible to the center of Times Square, but it got filled very early in the afternoon. After, I slept on the floor of Penn Station and took the 6am train back to Springfield. This is not meant to be a perfect (or even halfway decent) view of the ball drop. It's just for posterity, and I included some recordings of the city and the streets from this time period. Enjoy this little time capsule from the year 2000!
I guess this is considered a "Crowd View" of the ball drop. I am learning a lot from the comments.

This is the best crowd view I've seen for the 2000 ball drop!
We are in the 2000 new era! Now from 2024, there's 24 years of 2000 after 1999!!!
They were going very crazy of the beginning of the 2000s!
yes is it?
Fr tho Ong!
Even then I remember everyone was afraid of a terrorist attack. I kept my journey here a secret from my family so they wouldn't try and stop me. When I returned home, I told them I had been in Times Square. My mother was really pissed... that I didn't let her join me! 😂
6:36 32!!!! AND 31!!!!! OMG
They were iconic to the skyline
Yea it was before 9/11
Why couldnt we have something like that in los angeles?
Awesome video my dude! You captured a fine moment in NYC when NYC was still somewhat respected and when Rudy was still mayor! Also nice seeing the other countries honored on the big screen!
You can see the twins in the back...
I had just turned 10, had gotten an N64 (finally!), and actually stayed up to see the ball drop on TV. Who else remembers the new millennium??
Rare Crowd View!
Thank you for posting this! Seeing the ticker tape reporting All Normal for y2k is so so cool
Glad you enjoyed it!

and oh lord, I can hear the 2000 Ball Drop soundtrack!
I would’ve been 9 months old when this was filmed. WOW
I was born in 1991 but I remember New Years Eve 1999/2000 so well. You really missed something huge.
Compared with today the late 90's seem like a dream world... like a beautiful dream world which is lost forever and only lives on in our memories and hearts. 2020-24 seems like a nightmare compared to this beautiful footage and not just because of the pandemic, the inflation or the war in Ukraine, in general!!!! In a way the entire Western world, not just the USA, never recovered from 9/11 and is in decline since then.
Happy new year🎉❤

Were all these songs playing at Time Square? I was surprised to hear Muggsy Spanier's "I Want a Big Butter and Eggman" (the Traditional Jazz tune) in the 23 minute area. Or were some tunes edited in?
