Billy Joel then joins Garth for ten fantastic minutes, singing "Ain't Goin' Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)", and a jazzy duet of "A New York State of Mind" with Jim Horn on saxophone adding to the magic.
When Garth sings "A New York State of Mind", and hits some of the most beautiful notes I've ever heard from him, one realizes that he would have reached the top of his field no matter what genre of music he chose to perform in.

The next 50 minutes include:
"The Fever", "Friends in Low Places", "The Dance".
Don McClean joins Garth for a marvelous rendition of his "American Pie".
Garth then sings "Much Too Young" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes", and is joined by Billy Joel once more for a rousing finale of Joel's "You May Be Right".
This performance is a refreshing example of superb talent, at its brightest, and is a concert that will provide enjoyment for years of repeated viewing.

I love this concert

It's all of the good things that others have said but the one thing that struck me most while watching it (shortly after 9/11) was the irony at the end of the song "We Shall Be Free", when a huge banner with the word "Freedom" was unrolled between the 2 World Trade buildings. It still gives me chills.


Why you should own the VHS version...

Sure, you're thinking, "I can buy 'The Entertainer' DVD set and get this along with other Garth specials; why bother with the VHS?" Here's why: The DVD version is severely edited. First off, as a marketing ploy, two songs were excised from the program and put on the DVD as "bonus tracks." Moreover, there were several between-songs moments that were sacrificed and unfortunately, many were the kinds of things that really helped make the Central Park show a standout Garth event. The highlight was when Garth explained how it was that Billy Joel was still around to come out in the encore and perform on "You May Be Right." They stole the car that Billy came in, is the way Garth explains it to the audience. True? Doubtful, but it's amusing. On the DVD version, Billy Joel is simply all of a sudden on-stage again with no introduction. The DVD version is too perfunctory to really capture the magic of this event, and for that reason, you really owe it to yourself to acquire the original, unedited, VHS release.
