DVD Reviews of Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Park
DVD Review: An off night for the boys
Summary: 2 Stars
I'll cut to the chase...
As a lifelong Simon & Garfunkel fan...lets be honest. The arrangements and performances of the Central park concert were pretty lame. After seeing it I figured that perhaps they were simply meant to stay in the studio..
Then.....I reluctantly saw "Old Friends". The arrangements were the best I had heard...some surpassing the original studio versions. Much more energy to the music.....far superior to the bland concert in Central Park.
Don't waste you money on this one....unless you need something for your insomnia.
DVD Review: Un impresionante concierto. L?stima la calidad de la producci?n
Summary: 3 Stars
Es mucho lo que se ha dicho de este concierto y es claro que fue un evento impresionante, lamentablemente la calidad del video no est? a la altura. El sonido dolby est?reo se escucha bastante bien, pero pudo ser mejor.
Esta es una joya para el recuerdo, lamentablemente parece una digitalizaci?n de un VHS.
DVD Review: LIve, but sound quality dead
Summary: 2 Stars
The problem is that the sound quality is terrible, not just bad. For a much better listening experience, consider "Simon & Garfunkel - Old Friends, Live on Stage (2004)" ( http://www.amazon.com/Simon-Garfunkel-Friends-Live-Stage/dp/B000679NLO/ ).
I own both and have considered trading this central park concert disc in to the local music store for the $[...] credit as used. I love Paul's music and and Art's voice, and the "old friends - live" is played here every few weeks or so - "concert in central park", not.
DVD Review: This is a Title for my review
Summary: 4 Stars
That was a good night. Can't believe it was so long ago as it was because I remember it like it was yesterday. Very well captured on this video, and the performance speaks for itself. Great way to remember it if you were there and great way to experience it if you were not.DVD Review: Simon and Garfunkel, Concert in Central Park
Summary: 5 Stars
Simon and Garfunkel's Concert in Central Park was very good. It brought back a lot of memories and great music. This was about 1981, so they were still young and their voices sounded great. The musicians backing them up were very good. So, it was good video and good sound. They are not too crazy about one another, as many band members grow tired of being around one another for years. But, they took care of the business at hand and produced a fine concert with a tremendous crowd attending the outdoor event.

(It's also the rightful bookend to Simon and Garfunkel's acoustic Live from New York City, 1967.)
