Movie Reviews of Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Park

Movie Review: Simon and Garfunkel, Concert in Central Park
Summary: 5 Stars

Simon and Garfunkel's Concert in Central Park was very good. It brought back a lot of memories and great music. This was about 1981, so they were still young and their voices sounded great. The musicians backing them up were very good. So, it was good video and good sound. They are not too crazy about one another, as many band members grow tired of being around one another for years. But, they took care of the business at hand and produced a fine concert with a tremendous crowd attending the outdoor event.

Summary of Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Park

Performed with a who's-who of East Coast session aces before a record-setting crowd of half a million fans The Concert in Central Park finds its stars just shy of their 40th birthdays and very much in their primes their voices sweet and pure and their playing relaxed perfectly in tune and in synch. The show features a mix of S&G and solo Simon tunes including all the songs that appear on the CD with the addition of a reprise of "Late in the Evening" and the first live performance of Simon's "The Late Great Johnny Ace." This is classic material from start to finish.Songs:1. Mrs. Robinson2. Homeward Bound3. America4. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard5. Scarborough Fair6. April Come She Will7. Wake Up Little Susie8.

What started as a suggestion for Paul Simon to play a concert in New York's Central Park blossomed, on September 19, 1981, as a full-blown Simon and Garfunkel reunion after an 11-year hiatus, and now proves a priceless snapshot of two of America's greatest folk-rock performers. (It's also the rightful bookend to Simon and Garfunkel's acoustic Live from New York City, 1967.)

Performed with a who's-who of East Coast session aces before a record-setting crowd of half a million fans, The Concert in Central Park finds its stars just shy of their 40th birthdays and very much in their primes, their voices sweet and pure and their playing relaxed, perfectly in tune and in synch. The show features a mix of S&G and solo Simon tunes, including all the songs that appear on the CD, with the addition of a reprise of "Late in the Evening" and the first live performance of Simon's "The Late Great Johnny Ace." This is classic material from start to finish, 87 minutes of unmitigated beauty. --Michael Mikesell
