Simon & Garfunkel

Recorded live on September 19, 1981, this historic reunion drew half a million fans to New York’s Central Park, marking the duo’s first performance together in a decade. The album captures their timeless harmonies on classics like "The Sound of Silence," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and "Mrs. Robinson," blending folk intimacy with the energy of a massive crowd. Backed by a full band, their chemistry shines, though occasional vocal strain hints at years apart. The concert’s emotional peak—"Old Friends" sung on a park bench—epitomizes their poignant reunion. A cultural milestone, the platinum-selling recording reaffirmed their legacy as defining voices of 60s folk-rock, even as solo paths soon diverged again.
