Saturday video break: America

Has there ever been a better free concert than the one Simon and Garfunkel did in Central Park in 1981? Here they are doing “America”:

I love Simon’s joke about “the guys who are selling loose joints” donating half their profits to the city. And here, for the second week in a row, is Yes, a group that I don’t think of when I think of a group that does covers, doing a cover:

That’s about what I’d expect from Yes covering this song, wouldn’t you say? There are some longer versions out there, but I think the four-minute single is Yes-y enough.

    Very cool, especially the Yes version. Yes is one of my favorite bands.
