Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One may never be able to go home again, but that hasn't kept Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel from trying every other decade or so. This two-CD set (recorded in December 2003 at the Meadowlands and Madison Square Garden) shows their musical chemistry has transcended the years--and no small amount of acrimony. But while their '80s live reunion was marked by an aura of celebration, this one floats on an undercurrent of bittersweet resolve. There's no mistaking the elegiac tone of the title track, while stark readings of "Hazy Shade of Winter" and "Sounds of Silence" can't help but evoke the scars of 9/11. A musical circle is completed as the Everly Brothers step in for a joyous "Bye Bye Love," while elsewhere Simon's musical restlessness inspires a subtly jazzy reworking of "Slip Slidin' Away" and Garfunkel adds his stately grace to his partner's "American Tune." The album concludes with S&G's first new studio recording in 30 years, the plaintive, irony-studded plea, "Citizen of the Planet." --Jerry McCulley

Product Description
For an entire generation, the concert event of the new millennium was the 2003 Old Friends tour from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Their first concert tour in two decades, performing songs that rank among the most memorable of the 1960s, was a sold-out sensation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional, 27 Jan 2005
By John Heaton (Budapest, Hungary) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I wasn't sure if this concert could add too much to the epic Concert In Central Park in 1982 but I was wrong. This is release is almost more important in a way, mainly because of the obvious and total reconciliation of these two great artists. They have spent a good chunk of the 30 odd years since their split in 1970 squabbling over artistic differences but here it is really warming to see and hear them acknowledging eachother and the contributions that both of them made towards this sublime back catalogue of songs. In some ways it is almost a soundtrack to an era and though I am too young to remember them first time around I found myself getting pretty emotional throughought this wonderful concert. For sure there is some overlap with the Central Park concert (how could there not be?) but there are also many inspired original choices of material, most notably their only 1970s collaboration "My Little Town" from 1975, a memorable Cathy's Song sung by Garfunkel and an inspired guest spot from The Everly Brothers. When the two brothers team up with Simon and Garfunkel on "Bye Bye Love" you have the Four Kings Of Harmony all together. I wish this tour had come to Hungary but having this DVD makes up for that. And some. Once you get over the fact that these guys are and look 20 years older than they did in 1982, which I did after about 2 minutes, then you are in for a real treat. Few people have written so many moving songs about life's experience than Paul Simon and here they are performed without exception to perfection. It is great to hear Garfunkel introduce "American Tune" by saying he wished he could have got his hands on this song before they split! And similarly when Simon says he thought "Slip Sliding Away" would have made a great S&G sing when he wrote it. Gone is the resentment and any bad feeling about Garfunkel stealing the glory on some of the songs that Simon wrote. Here Simon is most generous to his partner and it makes this DVD a real joy to watch. And then there's the songs of course. "America" is as ever spell binding as is "Mrs Robinson" to name but two, "Scarborough Fair" is breathtaking and I was particularly pleased to see so much material from their seminal swansong album, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (1970), no less than 8 songs! Makes you wish they had gone the whole hog and done "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" and "Song For the Asking" as well!! Call me silly but I had never realised that "The Only Living Boy In New York" was written about Garfunkel when he took off to make to Mexico to make his film "Catch 22". It was already a great song, now it is even more special. There are great shots of people in the crowd who obviously knew these songs backwards. As we all do. Make no mistake, this concert is magic, pretty much undiluted. Thank You.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old Songs, deep feeling..., 9 Aug 2006
By David Calcano (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Wao... I just finished listening to this record after coming back home in my train. These songs are just unbelievable, this is actually the first live S&G record I listen to and after hearing all their studio material, they still communicate the words and melodies that they go straight into the soul.
Their older voices make it feel sadder; nostalgic it's just plain great. Everything is so musical in this record, the arrangements on the songs are fantastic, I love how they played around with a song like 'sounds of silence' adding acoustic arrangements making it even slower... it just blew my mind.

S&G... Just keep playing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fine album, 15 Dec 2004
This review is from: Simon & Garfunkel Old Friends live on Stage [With Bonus DVD] (Audio CD)
I'm not usually given to writing reviews but I really love the music of Simon and Garfunkel and this album has not dissapointed me.

The duo are showing signs of ageing as would be expected but I defy anyone with even a modest appreciation of music not to find this a truly enjoyable experience. I'm not trying to say that the duo retain all of their youthfull vocal qualities, or that the recording is perfect but that the performance leaves me with a real sense of listening to the masters of their music and to songs that speak to the human heart in fresh and new ways with each listening.

Admittedly, some of the songs have been reworked in ways that seem a little strange to the purist but fans of Paul Simon have always been aware of his need to alter performances to create a new feel to old songs. Never-the-less I truly enjoyed the album and wish only that I'd been able to attend the concert when it was recorded.

I can warmly recommend it to all loyal fans from old and to those wanting to gain an insight into the music that influenced so many of us who were around during their early years.
