Great live performance in Central Park New York. All their best songs sung well and the picture and sound quality are good. Well worth a view (Especially if you remember them first time around)
This pleasant documentation of the 1981 reunion of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel is a must-see for die-hard fans, of course, but it's likely to please the more casual listener also. The duo's much-ballyhooed get-together shows that even though the partners may have been unequal in songwriting talent, there was still something special about them when they reunited to harmonize on their classics. Simon's post-Garfunkel compositions work well too, and a highlight is his 'Slip-Slidin' Away,' in which his soaring voice on the chorus wraps beautifully around Artie's. 'Late in the Evening' is a standout also, showcasing the band of top-notch New York musicians assembled for the occasion, including Steve Gadd and Richard Tee.
