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.

This video is a Garth concert in your home.  Feb 17, 1999
I currently own this video and love it. If I didn't have a bunch of his other videos I would certainly wear out this tape. For all of his fans this is a must have. Especially if you can not make it to his concerts. Just recently I had the pleasure of seeing him live and in concert, this video does that it makes you feel as if you are at a concert. It gives out the vibes that he gives. For those that saw it on HBO still need to buy this tape. You missed the stage catching on fire and Garth's reaction to it. Missed Garth and his idol Billy Joel singing their hearts and souls out. Missed great songs such as The River, If Tommorow Never Comes and The Dance. Also missed the high energy song Ain't Goin Down till The Sun Comes Up. BUY THIS VIDEO YOU WON'T REGRET THE MONEY YOU SPENT.

I love this concert  Jul 18, 2006 By S. Anderson
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.

One of the most exciting live videos I've ever seen  Mar 03, 1999 By w2jhixson@aol.com
Garth Brook "Live in Central Park" was such a treat. I've watched it so many times already and cannot sit still! What a surprise to have a fantastic guest sing a few songs with Garth on the video. I got drawn in like I was at a real concert. My family wondered what I was doing clapping in the living room!

Garth Brooks rocks Central Park!!!!  Feb 13, 1999
This video is a must for all Garth lovers! It is Garth at his best and showing off his full potential. It's got all the usual Garth.....you know, the running, climbing stuff, throwing stuff, laughing, and stirring up all sorts of michief. It includes performances by Billy Joel and Don McLean. Also Garth plays for a croud of 300,000 or so. Wacthing it is the most amazing experience. It makes you want to get excited with "The Fever" sing allong with "Unanswered Prayers" and cry to "The Dance"!!! an experience that will truly leap you out of your seat! Definately the BEST GARTH VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!
