Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were the apotheosis of the '60s folk revival, bringing the music to the mainstream via Top 40 radio and network TV. This live set was recorded before a rapt audience at New York's Lincoln Center in January of 1967, just as their Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme album was carrying them to superstardom, and there's a palpable pre-Woodstock/Altamont sense of boundless possibilities in these performances. Carried by just their bittersweet, magnificently interlocking voices and Simon's acoustic guitar, the duo showcases its already impressive slate of hits ("Homeward Bound," "I Am a Rock," "The Sounds of Silence") and its stylistic diversity that was already confident enough to encompass breezy pop ("The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"), madrigal influences ("Benedictus"), and the introspective impressionism of "A Hazy Shade of Winter." Simon takes a jazz-folk solo instrumental turn on Davey Graham's "Anji," while Garfunkel showcases his angelic pipes on "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her." It's a remarkably crisp live recording as well, one whose digital remastering was overseen--but not artistically tweaked--by the musicians and their original engineer Roy Halee, ensuring the performance remains as true as the cold yet invitingly warm evening on which it was recorded. Their subsequent albums Bookends and Bridge over Troubled Water may have expanded their creative instincts and their fame, but, like the Beatles, their partnership eerily paralleled the decade's demise, its optimism and promise imploding in a swirl of cynicism and ego. Those facts make this find from the vaults all the more compelling. --Jerry McCulley

This is a superb concert recording from the sixties. I wonder where it's been hiding all these years. While not as essential a purchase as their studio work, it gives you a good idea of what Simon and Garfunkel were all about in their heyday - a much better idea, in fact, than their 1982 Concert in Central Park. First of all, their live shows were brave endeavors - S&G played to huge crowds with nothing but one guitar and two microphones for singing. They were able to do this because times were not as glitzy then, but also because they were so very good. Simon's guitar playing is evocative and excellent, and the duo's sweet vocal harmonizing is without peer. Art Garfunkel shows what an important stage presence he was on this disc; his confident introductions are much smoother than Simon's awkward bantering. Of course Simon was and is one of America's finest songwriters, and this concert emphasizes not only the duo's hits to date such as "The Sound of Silence," "I Am a Rock," and "Feelin' Groovy" but also some more obscure but wonderful numbers such as the anthemic "A Church is Burning" and the then-unrecorded song "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies." (Indeed, I prefer the live version of this song to the rather smarmy studio recording that appears on the fine box set, "Old Friends.") The flawless performance of "Wednesday Morning 3 A.M." is also noteworthy here. The sound quality is very good for this set, and overall this disc offers a great window into a different time, when people believed strongly in the power of youth and art to change the world, and music could appeal to a broad audience of all ages.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Sublime, Ao� 12 2002

Par	R. Riis "rriis" (NY) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

The music and performance is sublime, capturing Simon & Garfunkel on their home turf on the cusp of broadening fame. This same material has appeared on easy-to-find bootlegs in the past, but not with this crisp, clear sound quality. Skip the "deluxe" packaging offered on an alternative edition of this CD unless a cardboard digipak sleeve with a shiny finish is important to you; the contents are otherwise the same as the regular jewel-case edition.
