Everyone is celebrating but there is a sadness in the air, you can see it

The most patriotic New Years celebration. And the most stress relieving New Years celebration. It was so heartfelt to be rid of 2001. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

2001 was a happy year for me.. until September 11.

Wow, that rendition of "God Bless America" at the time, really brought goosebumps and tears to my eyes.

This was nearly 20 years ago, wow. 2002 looks so vintage.

Rest In Peace to the 9/11 victims, very sad how some of them couldn't make it to see the ball drop for the upcoming year 2002 :(

We were so scared as a country after 9-11. We stood by our neighbors. We helped one another. America was different. We had to keep each other safe. We were strong.

"God bless America" playing in the background really brings a tear to my eye. 2001 was hell for New Yorkers and the nation.

Must... Not... Cry... I can't help it, though. This is easily the most emotional of the last ten, and even more so now that the man who brought us into each year for four decades is no longer with us. Rest in peace Dick Clark, America's Oldest Teenager!

I remember watching this live on TV. And when Auld Lang syne started playing I balled and cried like a baby. It was such a rough year.

2002...my dad's father was still alive. He passed away in late 2005 😪

2002 was great for me honestly. I can't remember any bad things. We got my first and to date only dog in March, a Boston Terrier. We finally got satellite TV again after being without it since 1996 or 95 (I didn't remember it). We bought it when my sister and nieces came up from Texas and we went to Blockbuster, where they were selling a deal on it, and my sister and nieces recommended we get it. I was elated and watched Spongebob and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and Boomerang for days. I watched Unwrapped on the Food Network. I switched around the movie channels. It was mind blowing for me. Unfortunately this is also when cable channels began sucking. But anyway, 2002 was a fun year.

It was a lot simpler times back then, we took that for granted. Here’s to 2021 being a better year!

I think alot of people wanted 2001 to be over as soon as possible after 9/11. To try and move on for the tragedy and hope 2002 was gonna be a great year. A new fresh, and positive start.

2002 was a great year. As well as 2006 and 2007

New Years Eve will NEVER EVER be the same without Mr. Clark!!! He was one HELL of a TV personality!!!

After 9/11, they made a Standing Agreement to make 2002 the greatest year ever. Now, after everything that has gone on in 2020 (Covid-19, the economy, race relations), we need a standing agreement to make 2021 the greatest year ever.

So sad that many lives couldn’t celebrate this New Years I know many people die every year but many people were taken away too early rip to those who died on 9/11

New Year's Eve will never be the same now that Dick Clark is gone. No one can ring in the New Year better than Dick Clark and won't ever be. RIP Dick and welcoming the New Year isn't going to be the same with him.

Not sure what I'm doing here but Happy New Year from 2112

Watching this in 2020, 😭

Such a difference from the earlier ball drops I saw. The previous years were absolutely electric and explosive, but this year had a solemn atmosphere. America will move on, but never forget the events that happened that year.

Plot twist: They've reused those numerals "0" and "2" for this year, 2020

Yeah, Christmas of 2001 was never the same. I was in my last year of high school and I went to New Jersey to be with my family. I had bought my airline tickets in August of 2001 and I had planned to visit the twin towers. Christmas wasn't the same in New York that horrible year.

So long, Mr. Clark. You are forever loved by every American who has seen everything you've done!

Hard to believe it's been a decade since this! I think 2012 will be an eventful year just like 2011 was.

I miss my old America

RIP Dick Clark 10 years later, 4 months later in April

December 31, 2001 to January 1, 2002

These years were still amazing so many memories cant belive were in 2019 right now!!

2000\2001\2002 golden age of the early 2000s

Boy I feel sorry for the sanitation workers who had to clean up after that.

Class of 02 right here. Can't believe its been eight years already. I still remember sitting in class watching the attacks on TV. We've come a long way, wars not withstanding.

People who were born in 2002 will be hitting their 20s in 2022 which is the year after the upcoming year (2021), just one more year for the '02 babies! I for one will be hitting my 30s in 2021 which I'm super excited for! :)

This is how Dick Clark will forever be remembered!

2001 was a sad year. Dale Earnhart died,and then 9/11,sad.I wished the Twin Towers could be standing in NY rn :( #USA!

It's sad seeing Dick speak clearly knowing how he turned out :(

And only 18 years later we are ravaged by a global pandemic

At 2:30, you see Dick kissing his wife. I can only imagine how lonely the moment will be for her when the ball drops for 2013, no longer having him there to share that yearly kiss with. RIP Dick Clark.

This is my favorite New Year's of my childhood (I was 10) also 2002 was one of my two favorite years of the 2000s decade (other one being 2006) here's to all a Happy 2016! :)

the year I was born :')

How could people MoveOn after 9/11 attacks

I can’t believe this was 20 years ago. I remember watching this. So much has changed in my life and the world since then. If you told little kid me all the things that I would go through and the world as well he would tell me I was crazy

Late 2001 and 2002 were one of my favorite times of the 2000's on a personal note

How many people in the crowd do you think secretly, deep down inside were thinking "Fuck yeah, we survived September 11th, we made it, bitches"? Lol.

2002 was my childhood year brings back cool memories ahh good ol'year

2001 is a year we can never forget.

2002: 20 years ago 2022: 20 years later

2002 had Lilo and Stitch, and it was the year of the Horse. 2002 had the Angels and the Giants in the World Series. 2002 had the Winter Olympics in our USA.

20 years ago today (2022)

I turned 5 on this day December 31st 2001-02, It's actually the only Birthday/New years that is a blur to me.

the year i was born hope it was as special for you as it is me ❤

when there was like 5 seconds left for the count down form 2001-2002,the man Dick Clark,was counting down to fast

I’m surprised so many people are smiling; I think it says a lot of good about the human spirit. 💔💜💯

Rest in peace 2010s

At the time I was 1 month old. I was born in December 2001. Loved the Spider-Man movie that came out that year.

How did Dick pull off still sounding so young before his stroke, despite being in his 70s?

Whose watching This on December 31st, New Years Eve and still 2015

The year I was born.💙

Dick clark always counted too fast

I bet everyone watching this live on TV or in person must have felt good knowing 2001 was about to end since it was a bad year

I was 3 years old back in 2002. the year when Spider-man the movie was came out.

You are legend if you watch this after 12 years😍

I remember Time Square was on heavy watch because of 9/11. Shit was week that year...

And 10 years after this on April 18, 2012...tragedy strikes.

if anyone is watching this one in 2102... hope the humanity is happy then...and in a clean peaceful world!!

Agreed I'd watch him every year that I can remember.

anyone from 2019?

What is the version of Auld Lang Syne that sounds at midnight put by ABC?

well as we can see new york is stronger than any tragedy, i hope to visit new york in christmas

The beauty of New York!

This was the first ball drop I was alive for. :)

Wow 20 years later…

I remember watching this! It was the first time I stayed up until midnight without falling asleep. I was counting down to 3 and then I was like KABOOM!

Finally, something you and I have on tape from the same night!

7 more days until 2010!!! It's now the last week of 2009 and the 2000s! I wanna wish all of you on KZfaq a happy 2010 and a happy new decade! =D

This was the first year since the 9/11 attacks. I wish I could have seen it all!

RIP - Thanks for the memories!

This is awesome. Dick Clark is New Year's Eve.

I was born January 2002 so it’s weird to think that I was just about to be born in less than a month from this.

I was born in june 2001 and it was a great year for a wrestling fan

I vaguely remember this. I was 10 years old then. Time sure flies....

A bit more than a month before I was born. So special year!!

Can you upload the full edition of Rockin' eve 2002?

I’m here from 2021 happy new year

Where can I find that rendition of God Bless America?

I really miss these days! I miss the Old America! The days before we were so DIVIDED like we are now! 😭😭😭

Seems too old back when Rudy Guliani was a respectable man

Why are they singing God bless America?

15 years ago now. I was nine years old when this happened. It feels like 2002 started just yesterday. 2016 wasn't so interesting for me, neither for big events. It's 2017, happy new year

Happy New Year 2022!!!

Good luck, Ryan Seacrest. You got a lot of shoes to fill. Dick Clark, you're the man. R.I.P.

People who were born in 2002 are now starting to become old enough to legally drink with 2023 now making 2002 21 years ago, let that sink in!!

could you upload New Years Eve - 2001-2002 - NBC - WBZ please?

Here before 2021 New Years Eve, was born February 28, 2002 and apart of the class if 2020. Who else is apart of this graduating class of this infamous year?

My favorite year was in 2001,not because of 9/11 but because a lot of my childoohd hapened then.

I'm shocked, I didn't know he died; New Year's will never be the same without him :( can anyone imagine how New Year's 2013 will be? Please reply.

Happy 20th anniversary to this video.

I was born a year later on January 1, 2003. I like having a new years birthday!
