Talk:The Concert in Central Park

message: One usage should be selected without mixing:
*Track list (live album): The 2 songs not included in the album should not be in the list (aside from the explanatory remark). A track list, that includes missing songs not on track, is just confusing the reader. Durations should be album durations. The tracks should be listed following the album.
*Set list (concert): All 21 performed songs incl. reprise need to be on the list. Durations as in live event, if possible (or album durations , if live values are not available, with a small note about it). Performed songs (not "tracks") should be listed following the live event.
I'd prefer the "set list" (the article is about the concert as main topic), but any consistent decision would be fine. GermanJoe (talk) 06:44, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The cancelled songs are indeed available on the live album, but without duration. Regards.--GoPTCN 10:26, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Quote from the article: 'The songs "The Late Great Johnny Ace" and the reprise of "Late in the Evening" were not included in the live album.' (emphasis mine). The track listing of www.allmusic.com shows 19 tracks. I am confused, how they could be "available" on the same product then. But anyway: if the situation is so confusing, it needs special clarification in the article to be accessible. GermanJoe (talk) 10:48, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My mistake. The reprise was not featured. I removed the two songs. Regards.--GoPTCN 11:12, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Track list - set list ? 

message: The album sold more than 1,270,000 copies in France, where it was certified Diamond. It was also successful in seven other countries, such as France and New Zealand.  Would that be the other France that isn't France? TheOneOnTheLeft (talk) 08:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Success in "other" countries 

message: The first sentence currently reads: "The Concert in Central Park is the first live album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel". This reads a little oddly to me (specifically the word "is"). Either of the following sound like more natural English to me: "The Concert in Central Park is an album by" / "The Concert in Central Park was the first live album by". I know we like to use "is" wherever possible, though, so how about the following:
:The Concert in Central Park is a live album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, released in February 1982 on Warner Bros. Records. It was their first live album, recorded in September 1981 at a free benefit concert in Central Park, New York City, where the pair performed in front of more than 500,000 people.
I think this sounds a bit more natural. I'm going to go ahead and make the change - I just wanted to discuss it here preemptively, I guess, since it's today's FA... --Fru1tbat (talk) 19:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: It's not that I don't understand it. It's that it seems to me that most people would naturally say "was", not "is", in that context (and apart from the inclination to say "<x> was an album" because it's an old album, I believe). To me the following two sentences sound natural: "Concert in Central Park is a live album by Simon & Garfunkel." and "Concert in Central Park was the first live album by Simon & Garfunkel." I find it doesn't read quite right to say "Concert in Central Park is the first live album by Simon & Garfunkel", as the addition of the word "first" nudges the meaning somewhat toward referring to a specific past event (i.e. "when it was released, it was the first"). Or maybe I'm just being overly picky, hence the section title... I don't have a major issue with it, but I tried to reword it in such a way that avoided the problem entirely. --Fru1tbat (talk) 22:41, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I still don't understand... I can say I am the first superstar, not I was the first superstar. The same here. It was the first live album is totally incorrect; it sounds like that something happened in the past but nothing changed since then. The record is still available everywhere. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 08:54, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it sounds totally incorrect at all. As for your example, when you say "I am the first superstar", it sounds to me as if there are no others. "I was the first superstar", on the other hand, indicates to me that others have followed. Maybe this discussion will shed some light on the issue. The question there is not exactly analogous, but there are some similar points discussed, and it is clear that not everyone agrees on exactly what the usage should be. --Fru1tbat (talk) 16:33, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The source for this statement "Later estimates determined that the maximum number of people who could fit in the park space was 48,500.[3]" is an article about Paul Simon solo concert in 1991. Can we use it to claim that the same number of people could fit 10 years before? There could have been various changes made for the area designed for concerts.2A02:8308:B106:8A00:B110:9E41:5EE6:D2D9 (talk) 09:29, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
