Concert In Central Park - Tumblr Posts
Ok but I just love these pics, and Paul always having to touch Artie's neck/back somehow. 🥹
At press conference before Concert in Central Park, 1981
Am I the only psycho who spots a bit of tenderness and a glimpse of cautious hope in their eyes around the Central Park era? Probably so. Anyway, I've always loved these pics.
I've always found that look Paul gives him so soft... considering what happened during the rest of the song, I stick to tenderness in this gaze.
Gotta love them. 🤣
No really, I've always loved these tiny bits before Central Park, don't know why but here we are. In case anyone wants to see the whole thing, here it is. Artie was in great shape that night, uh?

Simon & Garfunkel - Concert in Central Park 1/5 (YouTube video)
sandyzmz: “Why is Art staring at Paul that way while they are singing Me and Julio…”
thegodi: “He wants to fuck him right there in front of the crowd… or maybe he is watching the timing. Could be both.” +2 Thumbs Up
Happy Central Park anniversary, my friends!
Listen, watch and have fun with our favorite idiots. 🥹
On 19 September 1981, Simon & Garfunkel reunited for a free public concert on the Great Lawn of New York City's Central Park, drawing one of the largest ever audiences for a single concert.
While in the classic scenario his guitar is Artie, lol.
it’s 1am and all i’m doing is watching the central park concert over and over and thinking about how paul looks at his guitar like he wants to fuck it
Heard that scream?
Yup, it was me.
If ever the video of Paul with his arm around Artie's shoulder from this very same conference should pop up, I think my heart will simply melt. 🫠

It's so easy to forget they were angry at each other sometimes, when they're looking at each other like that.

Never not crying during That Verse in Central Park.
Now the years are rolling by me, they are rocking evenly
I am older than I once was, and younger than I’ll be, that’s not unusual
Granada 1967, but also Monterey 1967. That way I could stay there and wait for Forest Hills 1970, SNL 1975 and of course my beloved Central Park 1981 lol 👽
Glad I was lucky enough to see them in Rome in 2004, and I swear, to this day I have NO IDEA why they haven't published that concert for the Old Friends reunion because it was simply AMAZING
I thought I'd make a poll, but instead of another "favourite album" poll, I have one that asks about which iconic concert/performance of S&G you would like to attend the most, if you had a time machine. I personally would love to see multiple, but if you *really* had to choose just one?
Ritual rewatching, folks - as if we don't watch this all year through no matter what, lol 💜
Happy “The Concert in Central Park” Day! 🥰 💙 💙
Here’s the full concert link on YouTube, and, a screen shot of the setlist YouTube provided (so you can always jump to your favorite song!):
