 | Bodo, of course it was a "clever technique" to do monologues between the songs in the early shows.I still want to know the date and setlist of the S&G concert at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England, 1967? |

| @ Bodo: I partly disagree with Quiet. It has a beautiful melody and even harmony singing on it. But for a live version with S&G it would have to be reworked (Maybe Paul can find some cords for it, it´s boring to play a single cord on guitar ;-)
Think of the difference between Paul´s 1999 version of BOTW and the S&G version. |

| But Toki, Bridge can be compared with Quiet.
Everyone knows Bridge, and I guess people would always Love the song in nearly every version.
But Quiet is a song only a few percent know, so they will sing a unknown, slow and boring song? |

| Quiet is not a Simon & Garfunkel song.....so why include it?As for the 1967 Free trade Hall show, Bodo, I was asking the forum generally.I wouldn´t have expected you to have the answer....I was aiming the question at some of our more long-standing fans who might have been there. Not all of the people who type are 1980s onwards S&G fans! |

Harmony reunites Old Friends
By MICHAEL ECK, Special to the Times Union
First published: Friday, June 11, 2004
review
ALBANY -- Old friends, indeed.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have laid their famous arguments aside, at least for awhile, and are touring together -- in harmony! -- for the first time in 20 years. Thursday night the duo opened the second leg of its "Old Friends" tour at the Pepsi Arena, with the tune that gives the trek its title.
"Can you imagine us years from today," the song asks, "sharing a park bench quietly, how terribly strange to be seventy."
It won´t be long before the sixty-something Simon & Garfunkel hit that mark, and as they noted at the Pepsi, 2004 marks the 50th anniversary of their friendship.
But it wasn´t just a trip down memory lane for the singers. The duo´s music is also a powerful part of the lives of the thousands of baby boomer fans who plunked down big bucks to be at the Pepsi.
It´s a sure bet that few were disappointed, but Thursday´s hit-packed show was not exactly a stellar performance.
The sound lacked crispness, and even though the vocals were finally mixed to an appropriate level Late In The Evening, the crack band wanted for more definition in the swim of the arena.
More problematic was the energy level of the stars. Garfunkel seemed genuinely pleased to be back in front of such a big crowd, but Simon´s attention -- to both the crowd and his own singing -- waxed and waned.
When they were present in the moment the Old magic sparked -- especially in the quieter sections of "Homeward Bound," "The Sound of Silence" and "I Am A Rock;" and the bridge of "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
The biggest treats were the few numbers delivered solely as a duo, including "Old Friends," a snippet of "Hey Schoolgirl," "Kathy´s Song" and a gentle encore of "Leaves That Are Green."
On the edgier side, "Hazy Shade of Winter" and "Mrs. Robinson" actually rocked and "My Little Town" even crackled.
About a third of the way through the concert Simon & Garfunkel invited the Everly Brothers out for an all too brief guest set. Phil and Don showed why they were such an influence on the young Paul and Art. Their harmonies sparkled and they jumped at their songs as if they were playing them for the first time -- even if Don´s legendary rhythm guitar was frustratingly low on the mix.
After the Everlys knocked out "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have To Do Is Dream" and "Let It Be Me," Simon & Garfunkel joined them for a rousing gang sing of "Bye Bye Love."
Simon & Garfunkel finished the night with a crowd-pleasing brace of encores including "Cecilia," "The Boxer" and "59th Street Bridge Song."
SIMON & GARFUNKEL with special guest The Everly Brothers When: 8 p.m. ThursdayWhere: Pepsi Arena, Pearl Street, AlbanyHighlights: Paul and Art were joined by Phil and Don Everly for a gang sing on the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant classic "Bye Bye Love."The crowd: About 14,000 baby boomers plunked down big bunks to take a trip down memory lane with Simon & Garfunkel.

 | That review was not what I experienced lat night in Albany.The concert was great and they boys seemed more relaxed and happy than when I saw them in the Fall. They had some different arrangements to some of the songs. Basically the concert was the same except for some of the comments from Art and Paul. They definitely interacted more on stage. The audience gave them several standing ovations. All in all it was a great experience. I am happy I drove 3 hours to get there and 3 hours back. |

| Cathy, you are on the mark. It sounds to me that the reviewer for the concert at the Pepsi was too young to have seen them in concert as I did in the 60´s. The concert was great - it was a step back in time for me and a chance to take my two grown children to see them live. They have been listening to S&G since infancy and we have attended Paul´s concerts as a family, but this was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for them. My son and daughter were bowled over. My son said they complete each other. I flew in from DC to see them at home in Albany and, like you said, it was worth the trip. |
