Our Take

Ah, Simon and Garfunkel, the dynamic duo that defined a generation with their folk harmonies and introspective lyrics. Live In America 1969 captures the essence of their iconic sound, but with a raw, unfiltered energy that can only be found in a live setting.

From the moment they step on stage, it's clear that Simon and Garfunkel are in their element. Paul Simon's intricate guitar work combined with Art Garfunkel's angelic vocals creates a magical atmosphere that transports the listener back to a simpler time.

Tracks like "The Boxer" and "Mrs. Robinson" are given new life in this live setting, with extended solos and improvised harmonies that showcase the duo's incredible musicianship. The audience can't help but sing along, their voices blending seamlessly with Simon and Garfunkel's own.

But it's not just the music that shines on Live In America 1969 - the banter between songs is equally entertaining. Simon's dry wit and Garfunkel's charming awkwardness make for some humorous moments that add to the overall experience.

In conclusion, Simon and Garfunkel Live In America 1969 is a must-listen for fans of the duo, as well as anyone looking to experience the magic of their music in a live setting. So grab a cup of tea, put on your favourite flannel shirt, and let Simon and Garfunkel take you on a journey through time. Cheers!

About the artist

Simon & Garfunkel

Ah, Simon and Garfunkel. The dynamic duo that brought us timeless classics like "The Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water". With their angelic harmonies and poetic lyrics, this pair of troubadours became the voice of a generation. Paul Simon, the brains behind the operation, is a masterful songwriter with a knack for crafting catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His partnership with Art Garfunkel, whose soaring vocals added an ethereal quality to their music, created a sound that was truly unique. Their breakthrough album, "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme", showcased their ability to blend folk, rock, and pop influences with ease. Each track was a mini masterpiece, from the haunting ballad "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" to the rollicking "Mrs. Robinson". But it was their magnum opus, "Bridge Over Troubled Water", that solidified their status as musical legends. The title track, with its gospel-infused vocals and lush orchestration, remains one of the most powerful songs in their catalog. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Simon and Garfunkel's partnership was not without its challenges. The two famously clashed over creative differences, leading to their eventual split in 1970. But the legacy of their music lives on, inspiring generations of artists to come. In the end, Simon and Garfunkel will always be remembered as the kings of folk rock – a duo whose music transcends time and space. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the magic of Simon and Garfunkel.
