Brings back memories, while traveling through Europe(many moons ago), I wound up sitting in an apartment in Paris with a German and a young French lady listening to the song on her record player. What a powerful piece.
I'm 44 and I used to sing this song to my 20 years old daughter when she was a baby, though my favorite still remains "American Tune". They're so sweet and calm songs! I really love this two guys, I hope I was born earlier (and in the States, cause I'm from Argentina) for having the chance of listening this concert there in NYC.

Has been one of my faorites since the late 60's. They are and always will be a part of Americana and the folk-lore and music of many a generation especially the men and women of the 60's and 70's.

@asavietto I did a trip to the west coast, like california, colorado, arizona, etc. it was awesome and I listened to this song the entire trip. I highly recommend it.
@asavietto When you get to California, do me a favor and play Led Zeppelin's GOING TO CALIFORNIA. I tell you something, these two songs make me melt when I'm on the road. And I do hope someday you do make it to America ;)
@Mikuruification oh dear, yet another stereotypical american idiot. I know from personal experience that not all americans are like that, but you're definitely reinforcing the stereotype. The police are there for a reason, and while they may slip from time to time they're usually the ones enforcing people's rights. If you dislike them because of the way they treat ghetto dwellers, perhaps if you lot didn't steal and rob in the first place the police would leave you alone.
@asavietto Me too... my bucket list is a bit more pressing as I have chronic rejection of transplanted lungs and been given 6 months to live ( a month ago) but just mad that i read your comment on this video. lol Hope you achieve it, where you from...Im from u.k

@asavietto dont forget to put a nailfile in your rucksack. you ll enjoy feeling it up your arse when you arrive at american customs, us border guards are commited to providing amusemnt to the newly arrived
@telemetry9 What the hell are you saying? If you don't like it here, go over to Iraq. Or India. Or anywhere else in the world. Find a government you do support and go there. But don't be sitting here dissing on Simon and Garfunkel. And sure as hell do not insult the men and women who have fought and died for this country.
Forget telemetry9 ...he doesn´t understand music, there are people who criticizes everything that comes from America, sometimes some of them don´t know what they´re talking about. This song is amazing, the lyrics are brilliant. =) I´m portuguese by the way.
In 1971 when I was 19 I left Alaska to find America. I had very little money, but when I was about to run out I would ask people if I could work for a day and they would let me. I was back on the road again. I did this for 6 months and all I found was kindness everywhere I went. That is the real America.
@jimcoope Glad you found the best of what all of us hope to be as Americans. I, too, have found the best of us, and I was born here. Thank you for letting us know we're doing it right sometimes.
Wow! They have such an intimate understanding of their uniques talents to be able to sing THIS good. One of the best lesser know songs in American popular culture.
didn't get to see concert in central park. got to see one of the encores, tho at deutschlandhalle in West Berlin. the show was incredible, as was the music. that's been, what, maybe 28-29 years ago? can't imagine how that much time's gone by. funny thing, i'm no older now than i was then. ;-) still a thrill to hear S&G. still love Paul Simon, too. loved his last effort, So Beautiful, So What. Incredible. like a swan song, sort of. Gettin ready for Christmas day is one of Paul's best. love it.

@polo985, you are lucky man that you were at the Park concert 0n Sept 19, 1981. I visited the venue in 2004 wondering where the stage was. I keep playing the whole concert from time to time. Good to see Paul Simon sings at the 9/11 anniversary today.
I just read that his vocal chords have recovered and he plans on touring this year. I am not sure if that is the Simon and Garfunkel tour that they cancelled last year because of his vocal chords or if this is a planned solo tour.
We've STILL got an audio cassette tape recording of this when my dad who is a big fan tried recording the audio from the tv, you can still here my older sister whining in the background and my dad telling her to be quiet and stick her thumb in her mouth, lol, she's 32 now!
@idle44 Unfortunately he is still in recovery from a vocal cord paresis, which he aggravated further by smoking until his doctor finally convinced him to stop. He is recovering, but the big reunion tour that was supposed to occur in 2010 is still postponed indefinitely. :(
If you watch Garfunkel, you can clearly see that he doesn't know how to behave on a podium. He puts his hands in his pockets, then crosses his arms, doesn't really know what to do with them. The guy has absolutely no star quality. But the thing is: he doesn't need it, and neither does Simon. It's all about the beauty of their voices and the wonderful music. Brilliant.
Always loved this duo's work, and this song is not an exception however, I recently heard it on the radio after a long long time, but this time I truly paid attention to the words and realized that besides the great melody and perfect voice blending they were singing about disillusion, about growing up, and facing your fears which isn't that obvious for someone whose mother tongue isn't English. As I am more or less going through the same process lately, I find this song probably their best one
@risingsorrow No, it's David Brown. If you see the whole concert, they even introduce the band....Plus, like I said, Brown was Billy Joel's guitarist.....
Who gives a flying shit about Art's teeth? These were the days of perfection, their voices created their beauty. Their looks were just an additional brilliance.
Simon & Garfunkel are the greatest. They're music is timeless and for me personally no other group's music has ever touched me as much as them. I wasn't even alive when they were together. It's like in Almost Famous when Zooey Deschanel's character says that their music is "poetry." It truly is. The lyrics are beautiful and the music is just brilliant. S&G forever.
ATTENTION ALL Paul simon/Simon and garfunkel FANS: On August 10th, we are going to have a S&G day! We are going to be watching as many S&G videos as possible to boost up the views! Is it fair that Justin Bieber's Baby video has over 500 million views and S&G don't?? NO! Please copy and paste to all Beatles, paul simon, S&G and bob dylan videos and thumbs up so it will stay at the top of the comments for all to see. Spread the word!!!

I just read that his vocal chords have recovered and he plans on touring this year. I am not sure if that is the Simon and Garfunkel tour that they cancelled last year because of his vocal chords or if this is a planned solo tour.

Does Garfunkel sing all the higher harmonies in this? I can't tell who's singing what

@ellie050394 That was their genius. The sad thing is i heard that Art has now lost his voice and can now longer sing. I hope it isn't true

Has he? What a shame! They must be pretty old now though, surely?
ellie050394 6 months ago
@idle44 Unfortunately he is still in recovery from a vocal cord paresis, which he aggravated further by smoking until his doctor finally convinced him to stop. He is recovering, but the big reunion tour that was supposed to occur in 2010 is still postponed indefinitely. :(

Doesn't matter if Garfunkel has stage presence or not, he has the voice. The more you listen the more you appreciate his talent.

If you watch Garfunkel, you can clearly see that he doesn't know how to behave on a podium. He puts his hands in his pockets, then crosses his arms, doesn't really know what to do with them. The guy has absolutely no star quality. But the thing is: he doesn't need it, and neither does Simon. It's all about the beauty of their voices and the wonderful music. Brilliant.

Always loved this duo's work, and this song is not an exception however, I recently heard it on the radio after a long long time, but this time I truly paid attention to the words and realized that besides the great melody and perfect voice blending they were singing about disillusion, about growing up, and facing your fears which isn't that obvious for someone whose mother tongue isn't English. As I am more or less going through the same process lately, I find this song probably their best one

@risingsorrow I know you're kidding, but just so you know, the lead guitarist here is David Brown, who played for Billy Joel at the time.

@risingsorrow No, it's David Brown. If you see the whole concert, they even introduce the band....Plus, like I said, Brown was Billy Joel's guitarist.....

Who gives a flying shit about Art's teeth? These were the days of perfection, their voices created their beauty. Their looks were just an additional brilliance.

Simon & Garfunkel are the greatest. They're music is timeless and for me personally no other group's music has ever touched me as much as them. I wasn't even alive when they were together. It's like in Almost Famous when Zooey Deschanel's character says that their music is "poetry." It truly is. The lyrics are beautiful and the music is just brilliant. S&G forever.

ATTENTION ALL Paul simon/Simon and garfunkel FANS: On August 10th, we are going to have a S&G day! We are going to be watching as many S&G videos as possible to boost up the views! Is it fair that Justin Bieber's Baby video has over 500 million views and S&G don't?? NO! Please copy and paste to all Beatles, paul simon, S&G and bob dylan videos and thumbs up so it will stay at the top of the comments for all to see. Spread the word!!!
