in the 81 central park concert, in the begining of "The Boxer", garfunkel did a mistake and startes singing very early. Paul watched him and started to laugh, didn´t it?
i think that´s and other negative point to AG and a positive one to PS!! ;)

Don´t forget the mistake on BOTW, where Artie sings "ease your mind" on the second verse... I still don´t know if this was a mistake or if he did it on purpose.

The false start on The Boxer is cute! And in the middle of the song, I think Art does something wrong again because Paul looks at him and looks and sounds like hes about to laugh...

Most of you know the 1975 Simon and Garfunkel Live-Version of The Boxer at SNL. Except Simon`s guitar-playing not a masterpiece of harmony-singing.

Garfunkel missed the "...no it isn`t strange..." -verse and then took his hand to his ear as sign of embarrassment.

Simon was smiling.

Simon makes mistakes too....
During the YTO tour at Liverpool....can´t remember which song it was now....but it had to be restarted because ...if I remember rightly...one of the guitars was in the wrong tuning.

The song was "Love" and only shortly before integrated into the show.

In Frankfurt 2002 he sang one wrong line in "The Sound of Silence".

In CP 1991 he sang "looking (instead of thinking) back to the season before, looking back..." on Hearts And Bones.

With good stereo-equipment you can hear it was corrected in the studio. And on TV he was not on spot in that moment.

Also the first slow verse (Sunny sits by his window and... until "cages" ) on The Obvious Child was replaced. He was so nervous and sang shaky. You can also hear it. And see how nervous he was at the beginning.

I think that it´s comforting when artists make mistakes on stage. and also when they have stagefright - it makes them more human.

I totally agree Emily. It gives something different of what we have on the CD (sometimes, to "cold", to flat).
