I saw them perform in the 60s when I was in my teens. I’m grateful to my parents for driving. S&G introduced Mrs. Robinson during that tour, not the same as the finished version. Unforgettable memory for that young teen who wanted to hear the music directly.
Reminds me of the similar musical setup Richard and Linda Thompson had - one of the best ever songwriters and such an exceptional guitarist with two great harmonising voices. Sadly, broken marriages are harder to fix than broken duos.
I miss those days of sitting in my bedroom scouring over all the new vinyl albums I used to get. I’m afraid I can only have just memories now, unfortunately. Good job Dave!👏👍 Glad to see you back doing what you do.
I sent one of the RUclipsrs I subscribed to a message letting him you know are back up and running and he posted a message on his page letting his fans know. It’s Classic Album Review :)
As someone who has all S&G's 60s albums on vinyl, who learned to fingerpick guitar to Old Friends, and has many of Paul's solo albums (none of Art's), I say, "who cares?" We fans got "Still Crazy ..." and "Me and Julio ..." and "Slip Slidin' ..." in the 70s. The whole Graceland album was a vibe. Paul's a good solo singer. Whether they play another show in NY matters not a whit to me. The songs were the product, and Paul was the songwriter.
Sorry the Restless Dreams doc put out by Simon trashed ART Garfunkel he is the one who should have apologized. Simon is an egomaniac who could never appreciate his partners role in their success.
i can see art's point of view as far as paul's belief that the duo needed to end in 1970. i imagine art's feelings were hurt by "so long, frank lloyd wright"! i love art's 70's albums and paul's records from the last half century...kindness has probably been lacking from both....you're fair in most things i've listened to you talk about.
Good video. Egos seem to always get in the way. Even with local bands ( at least back in the day ) lots of local musicians get very jealous of fellow band members doing better than theirselves.
I found Paul Simon's Graceland CD in a thrift store in Texas back in July for only $1. Maybe it's good but it's nothing close to the great Simon and Garfunkel albums of the 70s.
Don't forget, Paul Simon was married to Princess Leia. Saw Paul Simon in concert as the opener for Bob Dylan! My fav Si and Gar performance is them doing Scarborough Fair with Andy Williams. Paul is on the Mount Rushmore of contemporary American songwriters. Glad they made up!
Been collecting vinyl again for 4-5 years - love it! Totally agree, Dave!
Thanks for the update on S & G - - it's great to hear they've reconciled !!
maybe another free concert in Central Park from them since they are reunited???

Welcome back Dave. You've absolutely been missed.
Oh, yeah...Dave! Merry Christmas. Welcome back.
Saw them at their free concert in Central Park back whenever it was. They were awesome and will never forget it.
No duo has come along to replace even Hall and Oates.
There is that tale from 1975 when John Lennon asked Garfunkel to help him (Lennon) get back with "his Paul"...

awesome !
Supposedly, the initial rift started when Paul did a solo record under the name of True Taylor, without telling Art. Art held a grudge.
Art got busy doing movies. That acting career didn't go far.

These guys were fighting forever

Paul does some one-offs but he is essentially retired

Paul Simon is almost completely deaf. He's been talking about it for over a year. He plays music but it's extremely d8fficu.
Dave. The 21st century musicians that are this good are out there but they are obscure now...
Artie and his son are recording music. Seen and heard it on RUclips.
