Average Rating: Rating: - Desrves more than 5 stars! This video was recored live in Central Park on September 19, 1981. I think it deserves more than 5 stars. I think is the greatest video that ever was. Simon and Garfunkel sing infront of 500,000 people. It contains 2 extra songs that were cut from the album; The late great Johnny Ace, and Late in the evening(reprise). Durring The Late Great Johnny Ace, a duranged fan jumps on stage after Paul sings about John Lennon being shot. Paul gets real scared and the bouncer comes and grabs the kid and takes him away. The highlight of the evening I think is when Paul sang 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. Art sings an OK version of Bridge over troubled water. Paul and Art play with an amazing backing band too. Also much of the dialogue that was cut from the record, is restored on the tape. Things such as intro's of songs, Paul introduces the band, and Paul had a speech about fireworks. I think it is great and you should buy it. You can't be considered a Simon and Garfunkel fan without it. Rating: - Fantastic! It's too easy to repeat what others have said but this is one fantastic concert. If you've come this far to buying it then you should. You will not be disappointed. I did notice that at least one Garfunkel line was missing from the video. Before he sings "Heart in NY" he makes some comment about it not being a Paul Simon tune and it will be on his upcoming album. Other than that it is superb. Rating: - One of my all-time favourites! This is one video that I watch over and over again. I wish they would release it on DVD, as I am seriously concerned about wearing out my copy on video. It would be a great choice for DVD anyway, as they could include the parts of the concert that were cut for VHS, and I'm sure somewhere there are interviews with the pair about reuniting after their somewhat bitter split. In any format, this is a must-have for any Simon and Garfunkel fan; Art Garfunkel's vocals are phenomenal, the music sounds great, and their rappoire with the audience is fun to watch.
