@David Wang Not true at all. AG wanted to continue making movies back then and then come back for 6 months and make records with PS..., that didn't work for PS, understandably so. That is why the split happened. AG had a beautiful voice, but PS gave him the songs to showcase that beautiful voice. Without PS, there never would have been an AG, except in his local church. BUT, I grew up with S&G and will forever be grateful for them both. 💜💜
Images an feelings of my childhood home on the NYC wintered streets. NY was cold as hell and yet always warm in spirit an heart. This and AMERICIA are definitely my top favs .
Bobby and Paul ....Two classics and such a wealth of music no one here can imagine ... I love how in the end ..it grabs you and your smiling ...sweet !!!
Two living legends on stage together..They were both clearly loving the moment..Thanks for an amazing wonderful distraction from the madness that is the world today....😏
You must be very confused to say so. It's so damn clear that Simon was distracted for the whole song by the tons of mistakes Bob Weir did!!! Simon is always been so narcististic and perfectionist during all his career, that he always hated any kind of problems about HIS songs and performances!!! Look better and you'll clearly see the disappointment and worries of Simon watching what the heck is playing Weir!! But, to be honest, this is all Simon's fault: no rehersal enough or Weir no more able to play and sing, not even knowing well the song!!!
Bless you Daniel and the eternal spirit and memory of your Mom... in rhe clearing stands a boxer,,, and the fighter still remains the same...Indeed...you ARE the Boxer!
Great song.. and to see Paul Simon permorming it live with Bob Weir is just to cool.... Just a couple of grandpa's now in the music industry, still offering many good vibes ...
iLove it Paul Simmons been around a long time I’ll tell you what he still can perform and he still sounds good matter fact excellent I don’t think his voice will ever die out he still sounds great after all these years probably still crazy after all these years to ha ha👍❤️🎸😎☮️
Hello from Patti Cornell. Loving the new music coming around again. Lots of great music today. Thx for sharing. Thx to Bobby and Jerry for the amazing music today
I'll tell you what's special to me about this. Not only is Weir on stage with Simon, but my old friend, next door neighbor and the person who got me into playing drums and then eventually introduced to me to the Grateful Dead is right behind both of them playing drums. It's so crazy to see
Bob Weir forgets lyrics. Sometimes he sings great. I think I will miss him when he is gone. Lately I see him about once a year. I don’t criticize. I am thankful he is there for us still.
Hello dear Fan. I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate your beautiful words of encouragement towards my music thanks so much
I have seen Bob Weir in concert far more than any other artist, but I saw Paul Simon earliest in my musical travels, Simon and Garfunkel in 1965. Thanks
Yes, me too... In the eighties and nineties I saw many bands two or three times, like Rush, Pink Floyd, U2, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sublime, Yes, Genesis, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Guns N Roses, and Van Halen (to name a few :-) I saw the Grateful Dead 26 times (including the concert for Bill Graham at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park) that period while Jerry was still with us... But I always marveled at the way Bob would take over a song either with his voice or his incredible rhythm guitar/sometimes lead guitar, while Jerry just sat back and kept the beat!!
"The Boxer" is a timeless, iconic masterpiece that was never able to be captured live as it was on record. the harmonies, the build-up and the production of that song and it's "New Yorkness" has never left me not feeling goosebumps. It's on my "Ten Desert Island Discs". this certainly isn't a great version of it, but hey....no one stays young forever.
couldn't have said it better. I love bob and it makes me so made when people underrated him or talk bad of him. he's a musical legend and rock royaltie. love you bob
Robert Hall Weir is only71 and fit as a fiddle, and on this you can actually hear his amazing guitar playing. Chords up the top end, triads and quadrads, amazing rythem patterns. Most be difficult when your playing with a perfectionist like Paul Simon.
In a few short years, all the faces of the greatest music to ever be recorded for a group of people who went through hell and back (Vietnam) will be gone forever. The composers and their songs were recorded for posterity to be preserved for all time. The Brits, the Americans, the Dutch, the Canadians, mes amis, gave the world the gift of the most beautiful rock and roll in all its incredible forms...never to pass this way again....ten thousand years from now, if we survive, a person will be assimilating this music into her/his cortex and grooving to the amazing vocals and ancient musical instruments of the greatest generation and smiling knowing full well that the lucky ones were there: we were there.
Would everybody please stop talking about Weir passing on? He's a health freak, musicians tend to live longer lives, si can we just presume he's for a good few years more?
So cool. It's a Paul Simon concert, but he's looking at Bob Weir, smiling in admiration while Weir just kills it on guitar. Thank you SO much for posting!
Killed it? Bobby comes in too early on the chorus and drags on the guitar during the verses. The back up band stops and restarts trying to figure out where he is in the freaking song. I love Bobby too but c'mon.....
@@andrewt3417 I love Bobby and I LOVE the Grateful Dead. That being said Bobby has always been way erratic in his playing. Bobby on Europe '72-genius. This clip? Bobby is playing his own song and the band doesn't know where he is. Bobby and Mickey have always been on their own musical planet. I'm not hating, I'm just saying that after playing with Jerry for 30 years a little more musicality should have rubbed off.
@@walkingtal4157 Ehh. You dont make a lot of sense. The song was probably not well rehearsed. Weir knows more songs than maybe any man alive. Pretty sure that if he rehearsed more w Paul the song would have sounded better but as is, was fine and Paul Simon was smiling start to finish.
At last, Bob's back. Paul gets carried away with the music, forgets where he is in the song, and, similar to a beloved friend of ours, forgets bits of the lyrics. Astounding!
So good to see 2 old farts that changed my world of music and many other people's, enjoying the golden years and each others craft talent and company on stage
1969 me deu saudade dos meus 10 anos minha adolescência minha infância tempo que volta mais . ouvindo no rádio ABC a voz de ouro todo branco com a frente dourada e um canário da terra 🐥na frente dele.era muito bom essa época muito bom o vídeo.
I will NEVER tire of seeing Paul Simon... ❤️

Joseph Mendozza .... I guy - simon

So many roads
You just gotta love Simon. Amazing Man I wish he lives forever.
Two treasures Weir’s a guitar legend, that fret hand and picking 💯 and Simon’s words ❤️ one love

It reminds me of every inches of what I have passed during my lifetimes, and it turns my heart blue... thanks..

Amen
never saw Paul smile. before this.
Their guitars are so serenely beautiful together-one can hear they really are old friends
1970 to 2019 almost 50 years amazing Paul Simons still hitting hard
A Century's worth of musical experience between these two icons..
Steve koch
Paul hatte sichtlich Spaß an diesem Zusammenspiel. Zwei Profis und große Musiker. Perfekt. 👍

Such joy❤ Wish I.been there 💐
And my friends... hope to see you all with his age and doing what he does best. Almost 80 man!
Whenever i heard that song it always reminds me of years when i was young.
A jam among friends. Thats the vibe I get. Like seeing old retirees at the breakfast shops.
This was the same day as my mom’s funeral. I miss her so much. This song brightened my spirits.
I'm sorry for your loss brother... Keep the Faith!!!
Bless you Daniel and the eternal spirit and memory of your Mom... in rhe clearing stands a boxer,,, and the fighter still remains the same...Indeed...you ARE the Boxer!
This isn't all about YOU.
WallyVanRiper1 mean
I'm so sorry. My mom was killed a couple years ago. Music like this makes those painful anniversaries more bearable.
Love you guys...this song will always make me cry...
Great song.. and to see Paul Simon permorming it live with Bob Weir is just to cool.... Just a couple of grandpa's now in the music industry, still offering many good vibes ...
Too cool to.........
Nice one paul. Thanks for all the great songs you gave us
Welcome to Thailand
Love from Thailand.
What great vibrations to send me off for the day. Thank you, for putting a smile on this girls face this evening. Many blessings!
Still someone here?
iLove it Paul Simmons been around a long time I’ll tell you what he still can perform and he still sounds good matter fact excellent I don’t think his voice will ever die out he still sounds great after all these years probably still crazy after all these years to ha ha👍❤️🎸😎☮️
What a fun show! They clearly are having a GOOD time!!

He's been forgetting lyrics for 50+ years - it was just part of what the Dead did. Not to worry about. I wish I had a fraction of his chops...
That other hippy guy didn’t forget lyrics...
@@ramboorider1 guitar or mutton?
@@walterkersting1362 Far less complex songs
Tony Danis I was referring to Jerry Garcia. He wasn’t known for forgetting lyrics, some of those songs were really long.
Socially isolated, because I am also an oldie, and happily singing along with the li li li's. Wonderful.
Every time I listen to or sing this song, various scenes that happened in my life come to mind.
Music does that. It can bring you right back to the time you heard it etc. It’s just an amazing gift we have, music! Peace ☮️
Me too
❤
That takes me back a few years, still love it though!
I love u guyz. God bless u both
Grew up on Simon and Garfunkel,...laying out my winter clothes wishing I was gone..
Those were the days!!!!!!
Admirable! Quien sabe lo hace. Una sensibilidad increíble! Perfecto! Gracias por existir y traer alegría a muchísimas personas!!!
Amazing!!
Love these 2 with all of my heart! ❤️❤️
Hello dear Fan. I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate your beautiful words of encouragement towards my music thanks so much

The voices have faltered but the guitar skills have remained. Superb!
How terribly strange it feels to be 70 , old friends! Very special.
Too young to remember, but what a treat and how much I wish I hadn’t missed this great moment in musical history history
Thank you for sharing this treasure with us
Thank you for uploading this and give us the opportunity to see these two Legends playing together in 2019
My favorite duo of all time
Randall thanks for the words of encouragement and support I really do appreciate you
The legends of music history!!
So beautiful music value

Man what scene it dont get much better than this. Much thanks for sharing.
I love it that Paul is obviously really enjoying this and clearly loves Bob
Yes, I completely agree. and I think Bob surprises Paul with sone rhythm for a second!
six months ago
so paul knocks and bobby answers and paul enters and then..??
How lovely friend meeting each other may God bless both of you. I am from Nagaland East India
love bobby at 3:43 - he fucks up (like on truckin'), has the "oh shit" look, and the crowd cheers. thanks so much fir posting
😂😂😂😂 I thought the same.... I’m done ,that’s the reason why I love Bob 😁👍👍
Absolutely Awesome
Imagine the years of adventures that Bob Weir has experienced
"The Boxer" is a timeless, iconic masterpiece that was never able to be captured live as it was on record. the harmonies, the build-up and the production of that song and it's "New Yorkness" has never left me not feeling goosebumps. It's on my "Ten Desert Island Discs". this certainly isn't a great version of it, but hey....no one stays young forever.
Two Gods on the stage!! This happens!!
Great harmony!! Paul& art..
Bob Weir strolling out on stage like a gunslinger of rock n roll. The real OGs right there.
Good
Congrats for the historic moment that you gave us!
Beautiful - two humble masters!
Bob Weir knows every note on the neck. He is a guitar master.
there's only 12 of them
OMG Please tell another. I'm dying over here.
couldn't have said it better. I love bob and it makes me so made when people underrated him or talk bad of him. he's a musical legend and rock royaltie. love you bob
@David Wang Technically, there are only 12 notes on a fretboard. How you use, invert them is another story. Still 12. Good day sir.
Lol...yeh ok.... whatever.
Simon and Weirfunkel !
Yeah!!!!!😆😆😆😆😆
Bobby and The Simonizers
good one Richard white!
Simon and The Greatfunkels !!
😀👍
Just wonderful...!

If theres one thing bob weir can always do it is play some killer rhythm guitar
@1:14 "THE DEAD DON'T DIE!" You know it brother!
Gigante da música. Maravilhoso. Parabéns
Happpppy Birthday Bobby !!!
AWESOME ! Thank you so much for recording right up to the end !

Who can be sad when they sing The Boxer ? Sadness is terminated for lifetime......
Lotta love in that room.
Bob is what happens when cool gets gray. Enjoy him while's he's still with us. Neighbor Bob--

Greetings from Finland Woow 🌹🙏🎶🎧😂💕
