- Quotes
Paul Simon: Well it's great to do a neighborhood concert. I hope everyone can hear us. I hope that the sound is good. I hope we are blasting Central Park West and Fifth Avenue pretty much away. I just want to thank the police department and the fire department and the parks commissioner, and Ed Koch.
[Audience boos, Garfunkel laughs]
Paul Simon: And particularly, you know, people that never get recognized for doing good things for the city, a group of people that have donated half of the proceeds that they're making tonight, the guys who are selling loose joints are giving the city half of their income tonight.
[Simon laughs, starts to play "America"]

The bit with the guy who rushed on stage surprised me. Always like it when those things are included in otherwise standard concert movies, for authenticity (reminded me of how the 30th-anniversary celebration concert for Bob Dylan included Sinead O'Connor getting booed by the crowd, all because she publicly criticized the Catholic Church before it was cool on TV sometime earlier).
