Music reviews of Live From New York City, 1967 [LIVE]
Music Review: My favorite Simon & Garfunkel recording ever!
Rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this album about a month ago and since then I've had these incredible melodies in my head night and day. I can't get enough of it. I have the boxed set, DVDs, and I've seen them in concert. I've watched them on TV and I've listened to them for countless hours over the years, but this recording is what I would classify as THE album that captures the real magic of Simon & Garfunkel as a duo.
The harmonies in this recording are incredible. I Am a Rock is perhaps the most powerful recording on the album as the harmony is perfect and Paul's guitar play is simply brilliant.
This is a must-have-album for any Simon & Garfunkel fan. It rekindled my fervor for their music.

Description of Live From New York City, 1967 [LIVE]
Out of print in the U.S.! Live from New York City, 1967 finds Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel and their audience in perfect union. To this day, when people think about Simon & Garfunkel, they are thinking about nights like this: nights that brimmed with the promise that so much was possible, that seemed as if they could last forever, and that survive in this music and all it continues to mean. This performance was recorded at new York's Lincoln Center in 1967, just as as the duo's album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme was becoming a huge success. The duo's voices float and glide in perfect harmony, aided only by Simon's acoustic guitar and heartwarming melodies, sounding as fresh and crisp as the day it was recorded. 19 tracks.Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were the apotheosis of the '60s folk revival, bringing the music to the mainstream via Top 40 radio and network TV. This live set was recorded before a rapt audience at New York's Lincoln Center in January of 1967, just as their Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme album was carrying them to superstardom, and there's a palpable pre-Woodstock/Altamont sense of boundless possibilities in these performances. Carried by just their bittersweet, magnificently interlocking voices and Simon's acoustic guitar, the duo showcases its already impressive slate of hits ("Homeward Bound," "I Am a Rock," "The Sounds of Silence") and its stylistic diversity that was already confident enough to encompass breezy pop ("The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"), madrigal influences ("Benedictus"), and the introspective impressionism of "A Hazy Shade of Winter." Simon takes a jazz-folk solo instrumental turn on Davey Graham's "Anji," while Garfunkel showcases his angelic pipes on "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her." It's a remarkably crisp live recording as well, one whose digital remastering was overseen--but not artistically tweaked--by the musicians and their original engineer Roy Halee, ensuring the performance remains as true as the cold yet invitingly warm evening on which it was recorded. Their subsequent albums Bookends and Bridge over Troubled Water may have expanded their creative instincts and their fame, but, like the Beatles, their partnership eerily paralleled the decade's demise, its optimism and promise imploding in a swirl of cynicism and ego. Those facts make this find from the vaults all the more compelling. --Jerry McCulley
