"I am Artie Garfunkel, at least aka Artie Garfunkel, Arthur Garfunkel now. This is Paul Simon on my left and this is" Leaves That Are Green "." This live recording from 1967, which in the cellars of Columbia / Sony hinstaubte over thirty years before and had a wide audience inaccessible or unknown (there is a bit dubious, but hardly available earlier release) probably belongs to the absolute best what of Simon & Garfunkel is available. If at some point the title of "Unplugged" has been true for anything, for this concert. Under perfect renunciation of orchestral Begeleitung and accompaniment, the parts truly incredible tonal volume of this concert exclusively by the two - constantly vocal counterpoints translated - voices of the performers and achieved through the completion of Paul Simon in "worked" only guitar. Goosebumps guaranteed; incredibly beautiful and harmonious! What makes "funny" and interesting this concert recording, the road interwoven anecdotes about the different songs, in particular, the history of "A Poem on the Underground Wall", where Art Garfunkel on the difficulties involved in photo production for the cover of their first COLUMBIA album , "WEDNESDAY MORNING 3 AM" and told "herüberhangelt" of this humorous story in the song rather hard scale. It's also nice that with this concert a kind of musical circle, namely in such a way as that Simon & Garfunkel during their 2003 / 04er "OLD FRIENDS - Tour" (located on the DVD of the tour) in the announcement of " "Run:" Leaves That Are Green The Last Time We Played this song in concert what Thirtyfive years ago ... "This recording is evidently precisely this" Thirtyfive years ago ". My tip: Buy, inserting, close your eyes, enjoy. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were hardly ever better, pure and pure as here.
