The music Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel made together endures in ways that defy time. After all these years, the songs and the voices of these two continue to resonate because, none of us are rocks or islands after all.
Although I`ve seen Paul Simon solo in concert, until 2004 I`d never seen both Simon & Garfunkel together, doing what they do best, performing as a duo. A bygone era - not quite - an era that stands the test of time. The concert I felt privileged to attend was in Manchester, England, on July 14 2004. A capacity audience thrilled to many of the old favorites, and at the end the venue was filled with the air of nostalgia.
Here`s the official preview to the release of the CD & DVD recordings of the last Simon & Garfunkel tour together.

Old Friends: Live On Stage, a deluxe double CD and DVD package capturing the historic 2003-2004 Simon & Garfunkel "Old Friends Tour" will be released November 30th on Warner Bros. Records in the US and Sony BMG internationally. Along with the deluxe two CD and DVD edition, Old Friends: Live On Stage will be released as a two CD set as well as in a DVD-only configuration.
Featuring a wealth of classic material from the legendary pair, who recently toured together for the first time in over twenty years, Old Friends: Live On Stage spans the duo's unparalleled career and includes such enduring Simon & Garfunkel favorites as "The Sound Of Silence," "I Am A Rock," "Scarborough Fair," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Mrs. Robinson," "A Hazy Shade Of Winter," "The Boxer" and a host of others. Old Friends: Live On Stage also features a bonus audio track "Citizen of the Planet," originally written by Paul Simon in the early 80's to be a part of the duo's repertoire but never recorded until Art Garfunkel added vocals especially for this release.
