Hvornår spillede simon og garfunkel i central park?
1981
The Concert in Central Park, der udkom i februar 1982 på Warner Bros. Records, er det første livealbum af den amerikanske folkrockduo Simon & Garfunkel. Det blev optaget i september 1981 ved en gratis velgørenhedskoncert i Central Park i New York City, hvor parret optrådte foran mere end 500.000 mennesker. Indtægterne gik til genopbygning og vedligeholdelse af parken, som var blevet forringet på grund af manglende kommunale midler. Koncerten og albummet markerede starten på en kortvarig genforening for Paul Simon og Art Garfunkel. Konceptet med en velgørenhedskoncert i Central Park var blevet foreslået af parkkommissær Gordon Davis og arrangøren Ron Delsener. Tv-kanalen HBO indvilligede i at transmittere koncerten og arbejdede sammen med Delsener om at vælge Simon og Garfunkel som det passende nummer til denne begivenhed. Ud over hits fra deres år som duo omfattede deres sætliste også materiale fra deres solokarriere og covers. Showet bestod af 21 sange, hvoraf to dog ikke blev brugt på livealbummet. Blandt de opførte sange var klassikerne "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson" og "The Boxer"; arrangementet sluttede med en reprise af Simons sang, "Late in the Evening". De fortsatte personlige spændinger mellem duoen førte til, at de besluttede sig imod en permanent genforening, på trods af koncertens succes og en efterfølgende verdensturné.
1981
The Concert in Central Park, released in February 1982 on Warner Bros. Records, is the first live album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. It was recorded in September 1981 at a free benefit concert in Central Park, New York City, where the pair performed in front of more than 500,000 people. Proceeds went toward the redevelopment and maintenance of the park, which had deteriorated due to lack of municipal funding. The concert and album marked the start of a short-lived reunion for Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. The concept of a benefit concert in Central Park had been proposed by Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis and promoter Ron Delsener. Television channel HBO agreed to carry the concert, and worked with Delsener to decide on Simon and Garfunkel as the appropriate act for this event. Besides hit songs from their years as a duo, their set-list included material from their solo careers, and covers. The show consisted of 21 songs, though two were not used in the live album. Among the songs performed were the classics "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", and "The Boxer"; the event concluded with a reprise of Simon's song, "Late in the Evening". Ongoing personal tensions between the duo led them to decide against a permanent reunion, despite the success of the concert and a subsequent world tour.
