so sad.... tears swelling in my eyes. paul (simon) and art(garfunkel) you probably don't remember me, but you talked to me at ruby's cafe 1976. You guys changed my life. God bless you two. I'm know 78 with minor alztimerz and i fear my time is coming. I just wanted to comment on this performance. I love you guys - Wolf M. Marsh Edited April 3rd, 2020 Three years ago, I handed my grandfather my laptop to let him write one last message to Simon and Garfunkel. He had no idea that videos like this could be found on the internet, and he broke down in tears while he listened. This September he passed away after a four year battle with kidney failure, but he was very fortunate that his Alzheimer’s never progressed much further than when he posted this comment. He commented with the name Wolf M. Marsh. That is my name. I assume he said my name instead of his because he didn’t want his name circulating out of the internet, but I am so glad his story has become so well known to you all. The world would be such a better place if everyone on it was as kind and empathetic as the people replying beneath me. All the love on the planet to you folks, ~Wolf M. Marsh

Paul smiles, glances at Art, Art puts his hand on Paul’s back....for a moment all is right in the world.

I'm currently 19 and my dad passed away almost 2 months ago. We used to play and sing this song together, especially this version. His favourite verses were the ones added during this concert. Now I play the song on my own, knowing that he's probably singing somewhere along as well. Love you dad, wherever you may be. The boxer still remains.

This is March 2023 and I still adore this. Just wish these two guys could have felt the love for each other that we have for them. 💙💙

This is February 2021. I listen to this song and others and it takes back more than 50 years ago at age 19 on my way to the Vietnam war sailing on a Navy ship and so much uncertainty. Just a kid. Now I'm 74 years old still listening to all these songs of the 60s. Miss my youth.

I am old at 63 but would not change my age for I lived through the best music we will ever know...and as Simon and Garfunkel, I can say I love them as much as the Beatles...their ability to tell a story and grab your. heart is unique...they dont make songs like this anymore...enjoy younger generations,

I love how, as they sing `after changes upon changes we are more or less the same...`, Paul has a quick glance to Art, who in return gives him a pat on the back a few seconds later. very touching.

I’m 70 years now loved this song for 50 years still love this song is as good as 50 years ago

I was at this concert and remember the audience "singing" the cymbal crashes. Half a million people imitating a cymbal was surreal. It doesn't come through on the video but it was simply amazing in real life.

Two men, one guitar and only their pure voices...that's magical. Hell yeah, I miss those days when everything in music is so pure and spiritual.

Anyone listening in 2024 ?

74, living in beautiful France. These songs were and still are my life, always will be.

I’m still listening. 85 years old - no music will ever match that of Simon and Garfunkel. I have sessions with them!

These harmonies will never be duplicated or matched it was a magical time.

Simon et Garfunkel, 🎧 en 2024 j'écoute encore et encore merci pour toutes les jolies mélodies .

Still listening in 2024. Grew up listening to this. Saw Simon and Garfunkel Story in the UK recently. I’m 51 and I was the youngest in the audience! Great show thought

Stop asking about "who is listening on this year, etc!" We never left... This song is forever and will outlive all of us!

It was good to see Garfunkel reach out and rub Paul’s back. Like, “ you did good brother. Look what we created with the songs you wrote”. I don’t know what came between these two men, but they can never deny that combined they were gold. And, I love Paul’s smile. I don’t think either of them aren’t fully aware of the mark on history this concert and their talents made.

I am 79yrs old and still listening to S and G. So happy to have lived in the era of real music. ❤

Whos still listening in 2024? “ Change after change we are more or less the same”…. But the fighter still remains.😮

Listening to Simon and Garfunkel is just like hearing two angels sing. No matter how bad things are, or how low I'm feeling, their music always transports me to a far better place. Absolutely beautiful.

love the little miscommunication right at the start that makes this song even more endearing

Young people don't realise but this is how superstars sound

After 50 years,their songs are still amazing and my favorite.

I was there. My brother and I snuck out from our house in Bath Beach, Brooklyn. I was 11 years old and it’s still one of my greatest memories.

My favorite S&G song. I was actually a young boxer the first time that I heard it. Almost 70 years old now,...but the fighter, indeed, still remains.

Smiles on their faces when they perform ... it just doesn't get better than this. Best duo ever, I guess.

According to the 1982 album booklet, this concert brought 500,000 people to Central Park in a single performance and has not been forgotten until today.

Unbelievable how these two sing together as one. In my opinion about the greatest duo ever put together.

Paul Simon, absolutely one of the greatest songwriters.

This live concert version is the best ever from this duo. Better than the original album version. Love it!

If I play this song 337 times I will cry 337 times too.

This song could be about me. I was engaged to be married 40 years ago, we were expecting a baby. It was cut short, I was dumped and broken. After weeks and weeks not moving from my room, then I went out and joined the Army. I left my family and home town, I was lonely and broken. 40 years latter I found my son, not living too far from my brother. I have contacted him, we have met and I knew he was my son by looking into his eyes. He is about to make me a Granddad, I am that poor boy no more.

there is NO harmony like these two......and there never will be again......PERIOD

What a song, what great performers. 2023 and I'm still listening. I'm 71 this year.

2023 and I’m still enjoying this masterpiece ❤

can you believe that these two guys met for the first time at the age of ten in a candy store. random is the secret of all things

I like the moment when Art starts singing ahead out of time at the start and Paul looks at him puzzled, and then they both just smile and go with it

Two old souls blessing all the old souls in the world with their angelical voices and deep lyrics

I haven't listened to them for such a long time, years. The nostalga is overwhelming.

3:03 Just a little gesture but my heart melted.

This song is pure genius - the way it was written just draws a person in so deeply.

Who is listening in 2024???❤

2023 - 77 yrs old and still loving them 🤩

They personified a generation, but wow are they incredible together. Never gets old or stale. Timeless.

Beautiful song, written and released during troubled times, performed in a now deeply troubled city. My prayers go out to you, New York.

One of my favourite songs ever, they don’t write them like this anymore, pure class.

I’ve never known 2 voices sound so good together. Sheer perfection ❤

One of the benefits of being old is living to hear them together

Looking at how many people are watching this in 2020 I hope they both know how much their music is still loved as well as loving both of them too.

The whole creation relaxes when these two guys sang ...we still need them today

One of the greatest songs ever written

That arm that Art put on Paul’s back shows just how supportive of friends I bet they truly were. Even through the break ups and the fights you just can’t deny their bond to each other

I'm Japanese. When I heard this song first I was only 19. This is what I thought, " How come you know so much about me?" I felt so related. Now I'm over 60. Still love S&G.

No one has ever sung better in harmony than S&G. Incredible.

The perfect match between these two voices happens once in life, and I have the privilege of living in this century and being blessed by the sound of their music. I guess we'll have to wait one more century to enjoy such a fantastic gift.

Two of the best harmonising musicians ever

This totally epic. You will never see a duet that is so perfect together. The song writing and their voices was off the charts. And all they used was a guitar. That is pure Bliss

This is one of those time machine concerts… i’d have love to have been in the audience for this.

You can see how much Paul loves this song and just lets hiimself get carried by the flow of music and lyrics simply amazing from them both!

From the other side of Atlantic Ocean, 1984, a poor boy in Portugal heard this the first time... and he thought, there's life outside, there's something beautiful there...

This was one of the best concerts in the history of mankind.

What I love about this (apart from the incredible music, singing and performance) is that everyone is actually listening and there are no phones filming it. I’ve seen David Gilmour play numerous times but to have been at that performance must have been an absolute privilege. Brilliant!

I'm still here. Old and ill, but still fighting ❤

I found them today. It's the first time I've heard this song, at the age of 24... Im In tears of joy, can't explain... I've heard true MUSIC... real music, now I know. I'm speechless. For people who said they remember being in this concert I can just imagine how magical it must have felt. True blessing.

If you're watching this in 2021, I love you and you're not alone.

2024 at 69 and still listening to this wonderful duo.

Hearing Simon and Garfunkel sing together makes the world so much better ❤️❤️❤️

Listening during quarantine 2020...who else?

One of the finest songs ever written. Pure and simple genius. I'm 73 and for my generation this is totemic. Two superb voices meld wonderfully.

Thanks Simon & Garfunkel for your timeless songs through the years

"After changes, we are more or less the same." Smiles from both and Art's hand rubbing Paul's back is the epitome of real friendship. Friends fall out but they are never not friends.

I put on My Headphones, Close My eyes and In a rush I'm 17 Years old again.

Will never tire of listening to this wonderful song. Love it after decades. 🥰

This is music that will never get old it will live for ever not like the rubbish that they call music today this is magical so keep listening people

In my opinion one of the most legendary concerts in the twentieth century.

I was at this concert and I'll never, ever forget it.

The good old days.

Тези момчета ги зная още като юноши млади! Тръгнали по широкият друм на живота, с една китара и раниччка! Обичам ги! ❤😂🎉❤😂🎉

I remember that night so well. The park was packed. It turned into one of the craziest nights of my time in NYC.

Garfunkel's mistake at the beginning was so cute and it worked. Such a beautiful angelic voice. Love it.

as a 8 years old kid looking through my parents stuff i found Simon & Garfunkel CD . I'm so glad i grew up listening to this

Amazing! I feel very lucky to have seen them live in Dublin, an outdoor gig in June 1982, a night to remember!

I remember a widely published music critic in the 70's say "...now we know, in Simon and Garfunkel, what music in heaven will sound like."

Mind-blowing how 2 magical people stand in front of everywhere, stripped down without drums, distortion, beats, etc etc... And stand there performing actual legendary tunes made by themselves . The calm, the bravery... Let alone how serene these 2 are in unison. As unique as it gets.

God its 2024 now. Time just keeps trolling on 😊

I am such a great fan of Simon and Garfunkel. This song has something special. And there is such a particular feeling during this concert. Amazing !

I was there, Central Part NYC, it was amazing.

just got to say they have always been one of the best at harmonizing

I'm listenning April 2024

My father passed away last week at age 90. He was a champion amateur boxer and loved this song. He was a boxer and even moreso, a fighter. We played it at his funeral as he is truly "going home."

Garfunkel singing with his arms crossed is legendary

Tears welling in my eyes, “...the fighter still remains.” The Central Park Concert, the words, and the two legends; timeless.

Haha Garfunkel came in too soon - just smiled and carried on

Very few artists are really worthy of the term 'iconic', but I think it's fair to say S&G earned that description...

2:50 Paul Simon's look when they sing "after changes upon changes we're more or less the same". God my heart!!

I’m 65, this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I can think of. We of our age are blessed. We enjoyed the music of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. I do appreciate the music of today, I’m not fussy, beautiful music is timeless, but for me, our time presented the best you could hope for.

Just beautiful voices The lyrics are absolutely wonderful…..no wonder these two were magic together 🔥💯❤️🌹

It doesn't get any better than this!!!! My generation had some AWESOME music to grow up with. These guys are poets....absolute poets of life!!!

The Boxer” is a character study: a young man disappointed with the world leaves home while still a child, and tries not to draw much attention to himself, because he knows he will be accepted or at least ignored if he stays among “strangers” This song is about a melancholy adventure through life. The entire song is a metaphor about how life is a boxing match against not only the people fighting against us but also ourselves. All the cuts and marks the boxer carries are symbolic of all the times that life has tried to get him down, and even though he sometimes feels like giving up, he never will because he’s a fighter.
