Our Take

SIMON & GARFUNKEL's 'Back in the Big Apple 1993' is like a blast from the past smothered in a haze of nostalgia - and not necessarily in a good way. This live album, recorded during the duo's brief reunion tour, captures them at a time when their harmonies were still on point but their stage banter was a little... shall we say, rusty.

From the opening track 'Mrs. Robinson' to the closing notes of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', Simon & Garfunkel take us on a journey through hits and misses. While classics like 'The Boxer' and 'Sounds of Silence' still pack a punch, some of the newer material falls flat, lacking the spark that made their earlier work so captivating.

The interplay between Simon's intricate guitar work and Garfunkel's angelic vocals is as enchanting as ever, but there's a sense that they're going through the motions, with none of the fire and intensity that defined their earlier performances. It's like watching two old friends trying to recapture the magic of their youth, only to find that the spark has faded over time.

Overall, 'Back in the Big Apple 1993' is a bittersweet reminder of the glory days of Simon & Garfunkel, a testament to their enduring talent but also a reminder that time catches up with us all. While not their finest hour, it's still worth a listen for fans looking to relive the magic of one of the greatest duos in music history.

Simon & Garfunkel: The Harmony Kings of Folk-Rock They may not have been the most rock 'n' roll duo in the 60s music scene, but Simon & Garfunkel still managed to capture the hearts of millions with their ethereal harmonies and poignant songwriting. With Paul Simon's introspective lyrics and Art Garfunkel's angelic vocals, the pair created a timeless sound that resonates with listeners to this day. Their breakthrough album, "Bridge Over Troubled Water," catapulted them to superstardom in 1970, featuring iconic tracks like the titular ballad and the haunting "The Boxer." The album remains a masterpiece of the folk-rock genre, showcasing Simon & Garfunkel's unparalleled ability to blend traditional folk elements with a contemporary sensibility. Despite their undeniable talent, Simon & Garfunkel were not without their struggles. The duo's fraught relationship often led to tension both on and off stage, culminating in their eventual breakup in 1970. However, their music lives on as a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity. From the haunting melodies of "The Sound of Silence" to the wistful nostalgia of "Mrs. Robinson," Simon & Garfunkel's music continues to inspire generations of listeners. Their songs capture the essence of a bygone era while remaining relevant in today's ever-changing musical landscape. So if you're in the mood for some classic folk-rock with a touch of nostalgia, look no further than Simon & Garfunkel. Their music is like a warm embrace on a cold winter's night, reminding us of the beauty that exists in simplicity and harmony.
