I bought this concert on tape when I was 19yrs old living in my first apartment...waaaaay before youtube! How nice after all these years to be able to find this wonderful concert and watch them perform the songs I've loved for so long! Thank you!! :)

[corkycat93]

I just want to say thank you so much for this upload. I would give anything to see them live! But this video has brought me one step closer. Absolutely brilliant!!

[brobdj]

YESSSS! Thanks for this upload.. This is so great to see and to also realise, in these days of so much electronic music, how just two guys can 'move' an audience with their beautiful songs and voices.

[willrothfuss]

Like the rooftop set. This is all pre video and moving lights use in scenery, and it's refreshing.

[sandyzmz]

Why is Art staring at Paul that way while they are singing Me and Julio...

[willrothfuss]

@sandyzmz Probably because he's taking his vocal timing off him.

[JanetWilliams01]

@sandyzmz Art must watch Paul so that he can sing the words EXACTLY at the same time. Part of their charm as a duo has been that they are very, very precise. All the "t's" and "p's" and "S's" have to come at the same time, if possible. Live is different from the recording studio ---- but they do their best --- and it's really SUPER!

[sandyzmz]

@JanetWilliams01 oh yes I am so in love with them, they are just superb. I admire Paul even more so. But Art is so adorable, and he has more stage presence. Best duo ever, according to me

[sandyzmz]

This is one of the Greatest Concerts ever in history. Phenomenal!

[krulu06]

@sandyzmz

Yes, this concert is one of my most favorite....

[MW277j]

@sandyzmz More than a concert it was an event of a lifetime !

[themooddisorders]

Paul is the man!

[TheTigress1962]

Thank you very much for uploading!

I saw them perform in Rotterdam in 1983 and the recording of this event in Central Park was turnin' grey on my pick-up. Later I bought the cd and now we have You Tube!!!!

Stiil awesome after all tose years....

[sunnysimms]

Saw this when it happened. Still fresh and fabulous-thanks so much, great job.

[fozfozwald]

It was really nice of Paul Simon to give his friend and favorite back up singer equal billing for all of those years. Notice how he says, " a poet and a ONE MAN BAND" in Homeward Bound.

[JanetWilliams01]

@fozfozwald Paul wrote this song when he and Art were not really working together, long before their first major hit, Sound of Silence. Art was, I believe, in graduate school at that time, working on his Master's in Mathematics, which he did complete. Paul was traveling and singing and writing songs in the UK. Paul wrote this song up near Liverpool, thinking of his British girlfriend. Later, when Sound of Silence took off in the States, Paul came home -- and the rest is history.

[12smarko]

Hi I was 21 years old @this was one of the best concert in my live I had seen.Hard to get to I woild not let that stopme 12marko

[liopleuroden]

Thank you for placing this. Years and years i listened to Simon and Garfunkel at Central Park in my bed before sleaping. It is so nostalgik for me. It is so good. I love them. Excuse my English, i´m a frensh speaking Belgium living now in the Nehterlands.

[yrkanak]

Paul looks so good there :) and the music ist fantastic.

Sorry if grammar is wrong I'm not so good in english but I love Simon and Garfunkel

[MVPPresents]

Paraphrasing my favorite bit: "... a group of people who have donated half of their proceeds that they're making tonight, the guys who are selling loose joints, are giving half of their income to the city tonight." Great joke. When I heard it as a kid, I had no idea what a joint was. I remember puzzling over that.

[baboxe]

Merci ! Toute ma vie défile en écoutant cela !!!

[quboot]

Art Garfunkel is the best looking and the best singing guy!!!

[dudewithopinion]

Great upload...lot's of clipping though around15:00

[nallaeroom1]

Simply incredible musicianship and HARMONY:)

[ZurpCow]

15:57 what the crap was that.



[dajesusblues]

Fucking ED KOCH. ROFL. Oh man oh man. I'm getting old, but it was all worth it. What a strange trip it's been.

[weeirishfriend]

Thank you so much for uploading this..Im off to see Paul in Omaha NE tonight..this is a great warm up, thanks again Kluru..:)

[krulu06]

[iNakobia]

9:05 i fucking love this song!

[FPTAKA21]

I love It !!

Thank you very much !!!!

[IceCreamAllTheTime]

the stage looks unusual

[johnnyatab]

Did anyone else notice Paul Simon snort his nostril at about 3:25 like he had some coke left over in his nose. LOL.

[LucianoGallagher]

@johnnyatab Could be, don't know... But his playing and singing was just too impeccable for being stoned...

[Harvest28]

This reminds me of how much i miss my friend Nancy Cochran. She and i would cut school and hide in a irrigation pipe and sing S & G until we were hoarse ! For a 14 year old, S & G spoke truth that only we could hear. Nancy where are you? Bass...Bass...Basss

[dlbrown1954]

Great old music - I had forgotten about them. Blue sweater - PETE CARR

[33iga]

素晴らしい。アップして頂き感謝感謝です。

[nudist1033]

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

Simon and Garfunkel."

I love the rhythm that Ed Koch uses. I really love the timbre of his voice when he says Garfunkel

[RealMusicLover63]

I think, this version of Me and Julio is even better than Paul`s studio recording!

[RealMusicLover63]

The look so great there, especially Paul!

[richmach]

Simon and Garfunkel, their music just sounds like your memories, and I've never known another group to do that.

[claynpendleton]

One of the best live concerts ever performed...including Mozart

[L1SEPHY]

Should have been born 40 years earlier... longing for truly great music

[Bazza598]

first 3 songs!!!!! :)

[rohini2808]

i keep watching this vid over and over again and feel so blessed to be able to watch this. Everything is so good here, the performance is out of this world. Thanks again krulu06, we are so grateful to you for uploading the 3 parts, hope we will be able to watch the part 4 that has been blocked. greetings

[gavpark]

epic joy!!!!!! musical perfection

[Rockguy29]

Almost feel I am in Central Park myself :)

[Freefalldreams]

@Rockguy29 I feel exactly the same watching it....it's amazing!

[Rockguy29]

Krulu06...I am so indebted to you for uploading this one. All my life I had listened to these cassette tapes and CDs. Didnt knkow this was on the Y-tube.

[krulu06]

@Rockguy29

Thanks for your viewing and commentary :)

[goldengirlwithmyopia]

WOW Just found this, captivated, thank you.. shame Paul Simon relegated to a minor act at Glastonbury, embarrassing really.. thank you for this upload, historical concert, wonderful, wonderful stuff. - ok now they are playing Homeward Bound - who knows this was written when PS was on a tour of England, and at a bleak northern station.

And the power of the Boxer - lie da lie, full of punches and frustration, brilliant

[rohini2808]

Real SUPER concert, never knew this was on youtube. Thanks krulu06 for uploading. Marvellous, Fabulous, no words to describe.  What a marvellous thing to be able to watch the concert after a lapse of 30 years!!! Luv them both, they are so cute. Greetings from sri lanka

[mctalks]

I know that these boys have had issues but this reunion concert was one of the most important ever! and I thank them both for putting their differences aside to make this concert happen. Still, be careful his bow tie is really a camera!!!

Just sayin'

[thewirednwonderful]

2 mins in and i love it already.

[1308jimmi]

this is the greatest band ever

[willarky]

Who does Paul say at 08:35 that gets boos?

[rosario508]

@willarky He was thanking Ed Koch who was NYC mayor at the time.  I guess there were a few detractors in the audience.

[jackiedesjardins]

[skabang]
