As is well known, Paul and Art were barely on speaking terms at this point, but they still had great respect for each other as men and as artists. They also had great respect for their fans, and they knew how much it would mean to their fans if they did this. So they buried the hatchet for a night and gave one of the greatest live performances in music history. Thankfully this video will live on for future generations to enjoy their greatness.

I love you buddy.

[@ollipolli6325]

Unforgettable memories! When I was a kid, my cousin and I were sometimes listening to that concert in central Park because his sister had got the vinyl LP of it... At this time, I was learning to speak English but I was not able to understand all their lyrics, because they're full of poetry. Still it remains not so easy for me to get everything, but can you realize, that even without understanding everything, I already was enjoying their songs, cause their music is so great... And now, after all these years, I really do appreciate improving my English level, by listening to them and trying to understand all the messages they sent to us at this time! This concert was undoubtedly one of the best given in all times, among some others like Woodstock or some of Whitney Houston. It was THE PLACE TO BE, that day!!! And even if I confess I don't like Simon so much, because he doesn't smile, always seems sad (even if he might have some good reason for it, with his love stories...), I find him brilliant and astounding with his guitar, every note is played so sharply that it seems to be easy, that's crazy! He is an extraordinary musician! And Arthur was able to bring something more, something emotional, his presence is remarkable. It is not like feeling love, because we know Art and Paul, were a little bit in conflict, maybe a rivality. However they were able to stop time that day and it is a strange feeling we can never forget!

At the 1:04 point (during the Boxer) when they sing the line “after changes we are more or less the same” you can tell Paul is thinking about their relationship and he’s filled with emotions and he smiles. Without even seeing that, Art puts his hand on Paul’s back telling him that he feels it too. Gives me all the feels. ❤

I may be from Canada but I always loved hearing their hits on my transistor AM radio. Prompted me to purchase their Albums to play on Mom & Dad's stereo. BTW-I M 67 y.o. too.

Harvard people can’t help mentioning they went to Harvard ;)

And Artie singing lead on American Tune is so special and perfect. That's the way that song should have always been

[@marcialord2706]

Manniepowers The everlasting gift! I am of their generation, but next generation down appreciates them, I know. Hope their grandkid generation do the same and on down. Excellence will out. Amazing! Simon is so, so talented in all his music.

[@dww2006]

I was there. Just a kid from Canada in the middle of that roaring crowd. Fantastic.

This concert was one of their best, a reunion of S&G will never resound more powerful and beautiful as this night, appropriately in Central Park, NYC.

[@melodyelson3202]

I was there with so many that night 🌙 came late and purpose and parked myself and friends at the edge of the park... I'll remember that night... Thank you for your shared words ... live venue preserved to share with friendsandfamily & seemingly no commercial breaks. What a utube gift .... Their music and soul mates will live on together

[@nancybates6585]

America's voices...personal musical heroes. Art's voice is so unique and smooth there's no mistaking who is singing. It completely broke my heart when they split up...I couldn't accept it. Still makes me sad. Perfect harmonic duo, and to this day their songs are so relevant. 🎸🎶❤️

[@jorgejamli3699]

I really loved them. I have my compilations of their song. 61 year's old.

[@andoorinn6015]

Very nostalgic. I was there. It was a time when I was wandering around Manhattan alone, with no money and no job. I guess I was young and could have spent time in New York, which is a tough place to be. I can't tell you how much these concerts have healed me. （Lived in the U.S. for 45 years　71years old)

[@jelly5289]

That’s awesome

[@adaltroczguitar]

I was very young in Brazil and I heard about Simon and Garfunkel all the time! Now I know why!! Lucky and happy crowd!! What a show!!

[@phungcanhngo]

Duo of the century,

[@user-qu6ls3lj4c]

No Central Park deveria ter um marco comemorativo desse concerto com2 querubins representandoas vozes dessa dupla

[@kiwe7511]

Art looks as good as he sounds ❤.!!! Paul's guitar mastery and songwriting skills impeccable!!! I'm late to the party but happy to be here

[@carlosarany]

Simply fantastic!!!

[@TheSuperlatigazo]

Sin pantallas , sin autoune , solos con su talento

[@user-pj9in4zk4j]

Art Garfunkels voice is counter tenor which has a higher tone then Paul Simons voice which is alto and has a lower tone to it yet when they sing together they are in perfect harmony

[@ellenpennell9582]

I still play their music every day. It makes me feel good. Just looking at Artie does that every time.

[@ollipolli6325]

Better than drugs

You can actually see when the fan rushed him he got startled but went straight back to his music, astounding performance! and recovery! my favourite song in this concert is Scarborough Fair, currently trying to learn it, quite a complicated yet simple structure in nature, beautiful medieval melody!

[@josephineananda]

He could have been next, after all.

[@jacobjinglehymer8789]

I wonder if the guy ever got to talk to him😅

[@frauleinmona]

@@jacobjinglehymer8789 Obviously not. LoL
