Paul Simon's Concert in the Park is a live album released in 1991 by Paul Simon. It provided a survey of his two most recent albums, Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints, and also drew liberally from his earlier songbook including a number of tunes from the Simon and Garfunkel era. 600,000 people were initially claimed to have attended the show, which was held in Central Park, New York City on August 15, 1991. Later estimates determined that the maximum number of people who could fit in the park space was 48,500. The concert was similar to The Concert in Central Park, a reunion concert for Simon and Garfunkel held ten years earlier. The album was released on the 50th birthday of Art Garfunkel.
Special Guests: Briz, Grupo Cultural OLODUM and Chevy Chase join Paul, dancing to "You Can Call Me Al".
This title was released in both audio and video formats.
This title has never been released on DVD and is one of two Paul Simon videos not to be released in this format. This could be due to the contract with Pioneer that restricted the re-issue of concerts by artists signed to Warner on any future format. In July 2011 a Facebook campaign has been started to request a release of the concert on DVD and Blu-ray.
