From Billboard.com:
As first tipped here last month, Warner Bros. will on Nov. 30 release the Simon and Garfunkel concert document ´Old Friends: Live on Stage.´ Chronicling the pair´s triumphant 2003 reunion tour, the project will be available as a stand-alone DVD, a double-CD set and a deluxe edition with both the DVD and CDs.
It is unknown if the 26-track ´Old Friends´ was recorded at one show or throughout the trek, which grossed approximately $75 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. The track list includes such classics as ´Scarborough Fair,´ ´The Sound of Silence´ and ´Bridge Over Troubled Water,´ plus the pre S&G single ´Hey Schoolgirl´ (as Tom And Jerry) and the pair´s 1975 reunion single ´My Little Town.´
Also reproduced are the Everly Brothers´ mid-set performances of ´Wake Up Little Susie,´ ´All I Have To Do Is Dream´ and ´Bye Bye Love´ with Simon and Garfunkel.
The DVD includes a pair of tantalizing extras, including a new Simon and Garfunkel audio track ´Citizen of the Planet,´ originally written for Simon´s 1983 solo album, ´Hearts and Bones.´ Also featured is previously unreleased footage believed to originate from the 1969 TV special ´Songs of America,´ hosted by actor Charles Grodin.
The Old Friends tour wrapped in Rome on July 31. Simon is at work on his next solo album with producer Brian Eno.
