The Concert in Central Park and a benefit for United Way of Canada Children's Charities at SkyDome in Toronto. Their next performance as a duo was in December 2003, at New York's Madison Square Garden during the Old Friends Tour. This concert was recorded, and released in December 2004 as the album "". Simon & Garfunkel's "Concert in Central Park" raised around $51,000 for Central Park. Benefit concerts by other musicians followed, and helped to raise awareness of the park's state.

The Concert in Central Park Your Lover" was replaced with a Latin arrangement that included brass. 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. He was also uncomfortable that Simon had rewritten some of the lyrics for their old songs. Despite the need to adapt to Simon and his style, Garfunkel enjoyed some of the songs, and was glad to perform a duet version of Simon's "American Tune".
