Post Description

Simon & Garfunkel doing a reunion tour was the last thing on most people's minds in late 2003, but sure enough, it happened. Artie and Paul, the poet and the one band, grabbed their guitars and headed back to the stage for the first time since their legendary Central Park concert in the early 1980s'. This turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience for many young fans, as this will probably be the last time the two ever share the stage again. 

This dvd, "Old Friends, Live On Stage" was recorded in New York in late 2003. It truly is a great show. From the opening song, the wonderful, haunting "Old Friends/Bookends", you know you're in for a treat. As Simon & Garfunkel's music is low key and mellow, don't expect some flashy light shows and Vegas style arrangement. The environment is very relaxed and laid back. The performances are great, the standouts being "America", "Bye Bye Love" (done with the Everly Brothers), "Scarborough Fair", "Mrs. Robinson", "My Little Town", "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "The 59th Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy). They also dust off some old gems like "Kathy's Song" and "Leaves That Are Green" which haven't been heard in years. 

Paul & Art are in fine form vocally, they still have beautiful harmonies. As one reviewer pointed out, they seem a little uncomfortable, but you could hardly tell. They compliment each other like nothing ever happened between them. This a great dvd to have in your collection.
