so sad.... tears swelling in my eyes. paul (simon) and art(garfunkel) you probably don't remember me, but you talked to me at ruby's cafe 1976. You guys changed my life. God bless you two. I'm know 78 with minor alztimerz and i fear my time is coming. I just wanted to comment on this performance. I love you guys - Wolf M. Marsh Edited April 3rd, 2020 Three years ago, I handed my grandfather my laptop to let him write one last message to Simon and Garfunkel. He had no idea that videos like this could be found on the internet, and he broke down in tears while he listened. This September he passed away after a four year battle with kidney failure, but he was very fortunate that his Alzheimer’s never progressed much further than when he posted this comment. He commented with the name Wolf M. Marsh. That is my name. I assume he said my name instead of his because he didn’t want his name circulating out of the internet, but I am so glad his story has become so well known to you all. The world would be such a better place if everyone on it was as kind and empathetic as the people replying beneath me. All the love on the planet to you folks, ~Wolf M. Marsh

Wolf Marsh I love those guys , too. I have all their albums on vinyl and CD's . I am 66 and don't know if I will make it to 78, I can only hope. There have been many things during my lifetime I have feared , only to look back in retrospect and realize that being afraid had been a waste of my time and energy. As a child , I was acutely aware of my mortality as to the point of lying awake at night in fear of not waking the next morning. I do not know how "normal" it is for a young child to have such an intense fear of the end of life , because I have never shared this with anyone. At 66 , I am much closer to "my time" than when I was 10 , yet my level of fear of that moment has decreased to the point of almost being non-existent. Of all the people I have loved during my lifetime , most of them are no longer here and I miss them. When "my time" is upon me , I know that I will be in good company, following in the footsteps of many good friends. Our time here grows shorter and shorter with the passing of each day , we do not have time to be afraid. Wolf , may GOD bless and keep us both.

This song could be about me. I was engaged to be married 40 years ago, we were expecting a baby. It was cut short, I was dumped and broken. After weeks and weeks not moving from my room, then I went out and joined the Army. I left my family and home town, I was lonely and broken. 40 years latter I found my son, not living too far from my brother. I have contacted him, we have met and I knew he was my son by looking into his eyes. He is about to make me a Granddad, I am that poor boy no more.

According to the 1982 album booklet, this concert brought 500,000 people to Central Park in a single performance and has not been forgotten until today.

I remember a widely published music critic in the 70's say "...now we know, in Simon and Garfunkel, what music in heaven will sound like."

I was at this concert and remember the audience "singing" the cymbal crashes. Half a million people imitating a cymbal was surreal. It doesn't come through on the video but it was simply amazing in real life.

Well, to be far, Art was brilliant at harmonizing with Paul, and I'd put "them" on l my list too, but really, Paul is just singing and playing. Art does the heavy lifting here.

This is music that will never get old it will live for ever not like the rubbish that they call music today this is magical so keep listening people

This was one of the best concerts in the history of mankind.

Only once in a century the stars are aligned like that. but on our subject this time, Paul and Art and the beatles , twice and who knows maybe more elsewhere.

Come here to check that part. If you listen to the 1969 "Bridge over trouble water" album record there is no pause, as sang by Garfunkel. But also it really looks that they planned and rehearsal a pause there. Independently of who missed that part I like this error so much that I even sing softly that way too. My birthday is just 5 days before that concert.
