Notes
From "The Concert Event of a Lifetime - the Music of Simon & Garfunkel and Paul Simon" shows of 1993, this two-CD set features what was, essentailly, the full running set for these shows. To me, this was the ultimate Paul Simon concert: all of his career (through 1993) was covered. The band was hot, the guests were top-notch, and the energy was high. Garfunkel was a super highlight to the show, adding beautiful harmonies to the old favourites. Two songs are included from the Bridge School Concert of 1993 to showcase two more S&G songs.
The quality of this recording isn't the best, but it's quite listenable. However, the main selling point of this set is the full setlist of the 1993 show. While I wouldn't rate this as a "must-buy," it's a great addition to any collection.
