Future Paul Simon or Art Garfunkel (or both) solo songs you would have love to see sung in this concert. I am talking about this show, after they recored this show, for me I would have love to have seen Graceland being perfomed in this concert, and it looks like a cool song, and Paul Simon's sudden erge for whatever reason to see Graceland, you know mine, now what is yours?
shareI agree that more from the "Graceland" era would have been OK, but I have to say doing Paul Simon solo songs just seemed wrong here. Art Garfunkel really had nothing to do with those hits (except for those he worked on with Paul like "My Little Town.") If that was the case, they should have included some of Art's solo songs, like "Breakaway" or "I Only Have Eyes for You."
shareI disagree that the Simon solo material seemed wrong - quite the opposite! Art sings so beautifully on those songs, it's as if they were written to be duets. It worked really really well. And I loved how, even when Paul was singing solo, Art was sitting on the steps quietly singing along! It shows the ongoing friendship between the two, whatever professional vicissitudes they went through.
But yeah, "Graceland" would be good, "Breakaway" even better or "Bounce" (Artie solo from his excellent 2002 album). Why did they not do "Cecilia"? The crowd was shouting so loud for it.
