Photographer Steve Birnbaum has been reshooting band shot locations since 2010, quite a few of which are in Central Park.
His technique is unique: he chooses a photo and brings a physical copy of it to the original location where the band was shot. He holds the photo up in the air against the location's background, lines it up perfectly with the original photo's background so that the two backgrounds meet, and then he takes a picture of a picture.
Below you can see an example of how it looks:
