OLD FRIENDS REUNITED

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to rent this title.Always have been S+G fans amyhow.It is well over 20 years since the Central park concert. I have heard that but as yet not seen it.This gig was a revelation.Top notch session men had been employesd and it showed there was absolutely NO skimping whatsoever.garfunkel seemed to be doing the majority of the talking whilst Simon looked a little stoney faced.Then Simon joins in with the banter joking about their 37 years of arguing etc.At one point Phil and Don Everly come on and guest and that really adds to the class of this show! In the past I have heard Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon perform their material in a solo enviroment.To me that just did not seem to work very well.I can highly reccomend this DVD anyone with the faintest twinge of 60s nostaligia.In fact you can almost smell the joss sticks. ha ha. We watched it using full 5.1 Home cinema for full effect

THE duo professionals.

What a pity Simon & Garfunkel had broken up as they were without doubt one of the best duo Songsters & Songwriters of the post World War 2 period. Glad they have got back together once again as they've STILL GOT IT, and have improved with age. Their songs are very descriptive and often very lively, and of course you can hear every word they sing, which in today's day and age is very refreshing. Their backing band are excellent performers in their own right.

All in all, unbeatable musical enjoyment; view it, you wont be disappointed !!!

old friends once again

This was a complete joy to watch and hear, to see simon and garfunkel once again together blending their harmonies like no one else can. a couple of high points: bridge over troubled water is usually sang by garfunkel on his own, but paul sings the second verse. the other good thing about this dvd is that you get a BRAND NEW simon and garfunkel track called citizen of the planet, its as briliant as anything they have done in the past.

Brilliant

What a concert. Makes you feel as if you are there. A real jog down memory lane for any S & G fan. Really pulls on your stings of emotion. Two Old Friends Reunited. A must to watch. Even my 7 yr old enjoyed singing along.

EXCELLENT!

although Simon & Garfunkel are a lot older than when they recorded most of these songs they sing them like they recorded them recently, the special features are good too.

Fantastic !!!

A real treat to see these two for the first time performing live, A first class performance showing us how it should be done, the soundtrack of a generation, any fan of 60's & 70'S music will surely appreciate this concert.

Nostalgia fans only

If you love the music and that's all - I'd avoid it. If you attended (or perhaps missed!) tours in their past, then the rough edges on this reunion just might be smooth enough for you to really 'get into' S&G being together in concert.

But sadly - time may have been good to them and their voices, but they are no longer the young men they were - audibly so.
