Neil Sedaka was the night's featured performer, but he almost never made it on stage.

"I am glad that Marty [Markowitz] and the mayor and the people in charge were able to pull it off because I think a lot of people would've been disappointed," Sedaka said.

"The music will continue and that's the beauty. And I'm delighted," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.

The shows have been held at the site for the last 19 years. But after Markowitz introduced plans to build a larger scale venue, a group of residents and members of the local synagogue filed a lawsuit to stop the concerts.

Their suit was based on a 1935 city code that prohibits amplified sound within 500 feet of places of worship.

The City Council then passed a bill allowing the shows to continue, by using decibel levels and not distance in order to grant permits.

Many concert goers were glad it did, but not everyone was happy.

"It was a mockery of the law. I think it legitimized an illegality and it was done for only 90 days so that the borough president could have his summer concert in the summer of 2010," said civil rights attorney Norman Siegel.

"People are out here enjoying themselves having a good time and it's been this way for many years," said one concert goer.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed the bill earlier this week, which saved the concert.

He said he wanted to make sure the measure was strong enough to meet any legal challenges.
