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.

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! 😂

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!

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.

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?
