Description
"Right from the opening montage that juxtaposed scenes from the duo's careers and other world events, the message was clear-Simon & Garfunkel were sharing this show with their generation." (David Wild, Liner Notes) 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 national concert tour in two decades, performing songs that rank among the most memorable of the '60s, was a sold-out sensation in more ethan 30 cities across the country. Now many of those unforgettable performances are heard on the DVD Old Friends Live On Stage, as well as a 2-CD set and a Deluxe Edition with both the DVD and the CD's. The songs of Simon & Garfunkel have never sounded better.
Customer Reviews
Nice but can't compare to the Central Park Concert - Reviewed on 2008-07-11
3 customers found this review helpful, 2 did not.
There are some very nice moments in this concert DVD (Kathy's Song, the Everley Brothers sequence, Sounds of Silence, American Tune, Slip Sliding Away, etc.) and, especially now in 2008, one is reminded of how timeless (and timely) Paul Simon's lyrics are. However, this whole concert seemed overly staged and forced compared to the Central Park Concert. Central Park was a phenomenon; an amazing, one-time, convergence of time, place, atmosphere, attitude, spirit and incredible, incredibly beautiful music. If you want to get both DVD's, great, but if you want definitive video evidence of S&G's greatness, Central Park will always be the one.
