The Concert in Primal Park is the first live album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, released on February 16, 1982, by Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded on September 19, 1981, at a free do good concert on the Great Lawn in Primal Park, New York City, where the pair performed in forepart of an audition reported at the time every bit 500,000 people.^{[1] [2]} Later estimates adamant that the maximum number of people who could fit in the park space was 48,500.^[3] A film of the event was shown on Tv and released on video. Gain 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 3-year reunion of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

The concept of a do good concert in Fundamental Park had been proposed past Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis and promoter Ron Delsener. Tv channel HBO agreed to carry the concert, and they worked with Delsener to decide on Simon and Garfunkel as the appropriate act for this event. As well hit songs from their years equally a duo, their ready-list included cloth from their solo careers, and covers. The testify consisted of 21 songs, though two were not used in the alive album. Among the songs performed were the classics "The Audio of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", and "The Boxer"; the event concluded with a reprise of Simon's song "Belatedly in the Evening".

Thought and arrangement [edit]

A concert for the park [edit]

View of the stage from deep in the audience

New York Urban center'southward Central Park, an oasis that functions as the city's "green lung", was in a land of deterioration in the mid-1970s.^{[4] [5]} Though Fundamental Park had been designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962,^[vi] at the start of the 1980s, the city lacked the financial resources to spend an estimated U.s.a.$3,000,000 to restore^[iv] or even to maintain the park. The nonprofit Central Park Salvation was founded in 1980, and began a successful campaign to heighten renovation funds.^[7]

In the early 1980s, Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis, responsible for New York City'due south green areas, and Ron Delsener, one of the city's most influential concert promoters, developed the idea of helping Primal Park financially with a gratis open-air concert, under the legal guidance of Bob Donnelly. The metropolis would use profits from merchandising, television receiver, and video rights to renovate the park. Earlier park performances by Elton John and James Taylor showed that this concept could be a success. Davis authorized the project, and Delsener entered discussions with cable Telly channel HBO to decide who would perform.^{[eight] [9]}

They decided on Simon & Garfunkel, a group that had formed in New York City in the 1960s and had been one of the most successful folk rock groups through the late 60s/early 70s.^{[10] [11]} Simon & Garfunkel had broken up at the acme of their popularity and before long after the release of their fifth studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Water, which is deemed to be their artistic peak and which topped the 1970 Billboard charts for 10 weeks. They had grown apart artistically and did not get forth well with each other. In the following eleven years, both continued musical careers equally solo artists and worked together only sporadically on unmarried projects.^[12] Garfunkel made brief invitee appearances at Simon'due south concerts, which were always successful.^{[8] [9]}

Delsener presented the programme to Paul Simon in the summer of 1981. Simon was enthusiastic nigh the thought, but questioned whether information technology could be financially successful, especially given the poor audience omnipresence of his last projection, the autobiographical film One-Trick Pony. Simon's confidence had declined and he had sought treatment for depression.^{[13] [14]} He questioned whether he and Art Garfunkel could work together,^{[x] [11]} but contacted Garfunkel, who was vacationing in Switzerland. Garfunkel was excited nearly the idea and immediately returned to the Usa.^{[8] [nine]}

From the promoter'south viewpoint, Simon and Garfunkel were ideal choices. Not simply were they likely to draw a big crowd to the concert, they likewise had roots in the city^[8] – both had grown upward and gone to schoolhouse in Wood Hills, Queens.^{[14] [fifteen]} Music critic Stephen Holden pointed out that, dissimilar artists who had left in pursuit of lifestyles offered past other locales, the 2 had ever been a function of New York Metropolis. Both gained inspiration from the cityscape and the cultural variety of New York, and they spoke of these influences in their songs.^[16]

Planning and rehearsals [edit]

Planning and rehearsals for the concert took near iii weeks in a Manhattan theater.^[nine] The rehearsals were characterized past past tensions that resurfaced between the performers under the intense fourth dimension pressure. Paul Simon later said: "Well, the rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time."^[14] An early on concept was for each singer to give a solo performance, with Simon allotted the greater amount of time, and to conclude with the duo performing their joint works. This idea was rejected because, according to Garfunkel, "It didn't seem right to either of us that Paul should be the opening act for Simon & Garfunkel, and for him to follow Simon & Garfunkel didn't make show-business sense".^[17] The two decided to perform most of the prove together, with room for each to showcase some solo textile.^[ix] Simon, who had resumed songwriting later a long hiatus, interrupted a series of studio recording sessions for the concert preparations. He used the live bear witness as an opportunity to test one of his new songs in front of an audition. Garfunkel as well planned to present a new vocal, "A Heart in New York", from his soon-to-be released album Scissors Cut.^[9]

The two differed on the presentation of the concert. Garfunkel wanted to recreate the duo's mid-1960s live performances, using only their voices backed by Simon's acoustic guitar. Simon felt that this was incommunicable, equally an injury had rendered him incapable of playing guitar for the full length of a concert, and his newer fabric was typically arranged for larger ensembles that often included horns and amplified instruments such as electric piano and electric guitar. Garfunkel initially agreed to hire a second guitarist, merely later rejected the thought. A group of 11 musicians was assembled for the concert,^{[14] [xviii]} nearly of whom were experienced studio musicians and had played on albums involving Simon or Garfunkel and these included Baton Joel'due south guitarist David Dark-brown (guitar), Musculus Shoals guitarist Pete Carr (guitar), Anthony Jackson (bass guitar), Rob Mounsey (synthesizer), John Eckert (trumpet), John Gatchell (trumpet), Dave Tofani (saxophone), Gerry Niewood (saxophone), Steve Gadd and Grady Tate (drums, percussion), and Richard Tee (piano).^[nineteen]

The musical arrangements for the concert were written by Paul Simon and David Matthews. Some songs differed significantly from their original versions; for example, "Me and Julio Downwards by the Schoolyard" featured more prominent Latin elements and included a salsa break, while the folk rock "Kodachrome" was set as a harder rock vocal and played together with the Chuck Berry classic "Maybellene" as a medley.^[16]

Garfunkel had difficulties in the rehearsals. Both men easily recalled their songs from the 1960s, but Garfunkel had to learn the harmonies and arrangements for Simon's solo songs, as modified for the reunion concert.^[20] He was also uncomfortable that Simon had rewritten some of the lyrics for their quondam songs. Despite the need to adapt to Simon and his way, Garfunkel enjoyed some of the songs, and was glad to perform a duet version of Simon'due south "American Tune".^[18]

News reports^[21] and the Michael Doret-designed posters^[22] of the Key Park bear witness named the musicians individually and did not bill them every bit "Simon & Garfunkel"; that the two singers would perform together on stage in a reunion was not officially announced until just a week before the concert when information technology was published in New York newspapers.^[9] The two stated in interviews that further collaboration was non planned.^{[19] [23]}

Concert [edit]

The audience waits on the "Great Lawn" for the concert's outset

The concert took place on Sabbatum, September nineteen, 1981, on the Corking Lawn, the cardinal open space of Fundamental Park. The first spectators, many conveying chairs or picnic blankets, arrived at daybreak to secure a skilful spot.^[24] The Parks Section originally expected about 300,000 attendees.^[21] Although rain roughshod throughout the day and continued until the get-go of the concert,^[xv] an estimated 500,000 audience members^[19] made this the seventh-largest concert attendance in the United States in history.^[25] Later estimates adamant that the maximum number of people who could fit in the park space was 48,500.^[26]

The stage properties depicted an urban rooftop with water tank and air outlet, symbolic of New York'south skyline. At twilight, the backing ring went onstage, followed by New York's mayor, Ed Koch, who announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, Simon and Garfunkel!"^[24] The duo entered through a side stage door, took heart stage amid audience applause, looked at each other and shook hands,^[19] and began the concert with their 1968 hit "Mrs. Robinson".

Later the second vocal, "Homeward Bound", Simon delivered a short spoken communication which began, "Well, information technology's great to do a neighborhood concert." He and then thanked the constabulary, the fire department, the park assistants and finally Ed Koch. The audition booed at the mention of Koch but applauded as Simon connected by tongue-in-cheek thanking "the guys who are selling loose joints [for] giving the urban center half of their income tonight".^[27]

Simon & Garfunkel played twenty-one songs in total: 10 by the duo, viii by Simon, i by Garfunkel, a comprehend of The Everly Brothers' "Wake Up Piddling Susie", and the medley version of "Maybellene". Each performer sang 3 songs lonely, including one new song apiece. Garfunkel sang the Simon & Garfunkel archetype "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "April Come She Will", and "A Heart in New York", a song written by Gallagher and Lyle that appeared on his anthology Scissors Cut, which had been released the previous calendar month. Simon's solo performances were the title song of his 1975 album Still Crazy After All These Years, the number-i single "50 Ways to Get out Your Lover", and the unreleased "The Late Corking Johnny Ace", which would appear on his 1983 album Hearts and Bones.

"The Late Great Johnny Ace" was interrupted when an audience member ran to the stage and shouted at Simon: "I need to talk to you!" The human being was carried away by security, and Simon finished the song. The incident provoked associations to the song's lyrics, in which Simon speaks as a first-person narrator apropos the deaths of Johnny Ace, John F. Kennedy and John Lennon. Lennon'southward murder by an obsessed fan had taken identify less than a year previously, not far from the concert site.^{[28] [29]} Despite this association, Simon said that he was not afraid of any on-phase incidents. In May 1982 every bit a guest on Belatedly Night with David Letterman, he explained that while it is not unusual for fans, for instance, to bound onto the stage with flowers, this action was new to him, only too felt that the human being simply appeared intoxicated. His greater concern was that the song'due south premiere was ruined.^[thirty]

Lyrics referring to the New York area produced audience applause, such as Garfunkel's ode to his domicile city, "A Heart in New York", which describes from a New Yorker's betoken of view the get-go glimpse of the urban center when returning in that location past air:^[31]

New York, lookin' down on Central Park, where they say y'all should not wander after nighttime^[32]

Adulation broke out during "The Sound of Silence", when the narrative voice refers to a big crowd of people in the nighttime:^[33]

And in the naked lite I saw ten yard people peradventure more than^[34]

Afterward the 17th song, "The Boxer", which contained an boosted stanza not included in the album version, Simon & Garfunkel thanked the audience and left the stage, but returned to deliver an encore of 3 songs – "Onetime Friends / Bookends Theme", "The 59th Street Span Vocal (Feelin' Keen)" and "The Sound of Silence". Simon then said that their planned use of pyrotechnics had been disallowed, and told the crowd, "Allow's have our own fireworks!" Many spectators sparked lighters. The duo then introduced the members of the bankroll band and gave a concluding encore, a reprise of "Tardily in the Evening".^[30]

The concert and recordings were positively received by music critics. Stephen Holden praised the functioning in The New York Times the day after the concert;^[49] he later on praised the live album in Rolling Stone magazine.^[sixteen] He wrote that Simon and Garfunkel were successful in reviving their sound, that the backing band was "i of the finest groups of musicians always to play together at a New York rock concert",^[49] and the rearrangements of Simon's solo material were improvements over the originals.^[16] Despite the risks in performing so many acoustic ballads in an open up-air concert on a cool dark, the songs "were beautifully articulated, in near-perfect harmony."^[49]

An October 1981 review in Rolling Stone called the concert "one of the finest performances of [1981]", ane that "vividly recaptured another time, an era when well-crafted, melodic pop bore meanings that stretched across the musical sphere and into the realms of culture and politics."^[50] This reviewer noted that Garfunkel'due south voice was noticeably restrained in high passages, though withal harmonious, and that the evening's only weak spot was the "Kodachrome"/"Maybellene" medley, considering neither singer could raise the right level of emotion for the rock songs.^[50] A Billboard reviewer wrote in March 1982, "This nineteen song, two tape prepare gloriously recaptures the past with sterling renditions of most of the duo's classics equally well as a few of Simon'southward solo compositions filled out by Garfunkel's harmony."^[51] However, Robert Christgau of The Hamlet Voice dismissed the anthology as "a corporate boondoggle—a classy way for Warner Bros. artist Simon to rerecord, rerelease, and resell the catalogue CBS is sitting on." He felt Simon had been better off without Garfunkel since 1971 and quipped, "live doubles are live doubles, nostalgia is nostalgia, wimps are wimps, and who needs any of 'em?"^[48]

Backwash [edit]

The duo were disappointed with their performance, particularly Garfunkel, who felt that he sang poorly. Simon said that he did not immediately realize the magnitude of the event: "I didn't get what had happened – how big it was – until I went habitation, turned on the television and saw information technology on all the news ... and later that night on the front pages of all the newspapers. Then I got it."^[xiv]

In May 1982, Simon & Garfunkel went on a earth tour with stops in Nippon, Federal republic of germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Groovy Great britain, Australia, New Zealand, the United states and Canada.^[52] The European leg of their tour began on May 28, 1982, at the Stadion am Bieberer Berg in Offenbach am Main. This was their first performance in Germany, and had an attendance of around twoscore,000 spectators.^[53]

When they were not on the road, the duo went into the studio to piece of work on what was to be a reunion Simon & Garfunkel album, tentatively entitled Think Too Much, with Garfunkel adding harmony vocals to a bunch of new songs for which Simon had already laid downward some backing tracks. They set a release date of spring 1983 to coincide with their planned North American tour, but after increasingly begrudging delays and disagreements, Simon told Warner Brothers he could no longer piece of work with Garfunkel and that the project every bit an Due south&Yard album was cancelled. Thus Garfunkel dropped out of the projection, which and so became Simon'due south Nov 1983 solo anthology Hearts and Bones.^[54]

Several years would pass before Simon & Garfunkel worked together again. Their side by side joint public advent was in 1990, when they performed for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When Simon gave some other gratis concert in Cardinal Park on Baronial 15, 1991,^[55] he rejected Garfunkel'southward offer to participate.^[15] Withal, they agreed to perform together in 1993 for 21 sold-out concerts in New York, with half of the show being Paul Simon solo with a band and the other half Simon and Garfunkel. Later the same year, they did some clemency concerts, including the Span Schoolhouse Benefit concerts and a benefit for United Way of Canada Children's Charities at SkyDome in Toronto. Their next operation as a duo was in Dec 2003, at New York's Madison Square Garden during the Old Friends Bout. This concert was recorded, and released in December 2004 equally the album Old Friends: Live on Stage.^[56]

Simon & Garfunkel'south Concert in Central Park raised around $51,000 for Cardinal Park.^[38] Benefit concerts by other musicians followed, and helped to heighten awareness of the park's state. With donations from the general public and with the assistance of wealthy benefactors,^[57] the park was restored during the 1980s and gained recognition equally a major tourist allure.^[7] As of 2011, donations yet make upwardly the majority of its budget.^[58] Today concerts and other benefits are regularly held on the Great Lawn.^[59]
