Notes:

This was Simon & Garfunkel's last show before breaking up and it's a very unusual one. They didn't play many shows in 1970 to support the huge "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album but the album didn't need any help. The only 1970 shows that I'm aware of from S&G were two Forest Hills shows, two Royal Albert Hall shows in London, one show in Paris, one in Copenhagen and one in Amsterdam. Snippets from one of the RAH shows have circulated; the Paris show circulates as a soundboard and the Amsterdam show was broadcast on FM. There's a decent sounding audience tape of the Copenhagen show circulating as well. The Forest Hills shows were a homecoming for S&G; the two grew up in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Forest Hills in the borough of Queens. As far as I know, no tapes of the first Forest Hills show (on July 17, 1970) are in circulation. This show has an unusual number of covers; the only downside is that the tape ran out in the middle of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." But at least he got the crowd chanting "we want the Frisbee."

Comments: 
Excellent recording overall -- great mix, great dynamics, and very courteous audience. You can tell that the show is taking place in a cavernous stadium, but the taper had a good spot relative to the PA. This is a worthwhile download for even a casual fan. 

Depending on how Art's recovery progresses, this may be the last sighting of Simon & Garfunkel (other than the one-off New Orleans Jazz Fest show as the sole date of their canceled tour in 2010). Nice setlist, and somewhat different from their world tour of 2003-2004; Art and Paul each take 3 solo songs in the middle of the set; otherwise all Simon & Garfunkel material is the same as on their previous tour. 

This recording sounds a little more distant than the 7/10 recording, but has a little fuller sound. It has a different sound, but equally enjoyable.

Before the MUST HAVE Rhino box set was released there was a mind blowing radio broadcast of the festival. A shame that the Simon and Garfunkel set was not included in that official box set. Now you can drop this missing piece into the box and have a little something extra that should have been there anyhow.

Bonus material is sourced from video tapes of the E-TV channel broadcasts of the Smothers Brothers TV shows.

Includes the 4 musical segments during the "Billy The Kid" skit.

The Dick Cavett show is from a VH-1 broadcast and is very groovy, you dig man.

Decided to follow up the '66 Johns Hopkins show with my favourite S&G concert. This was downloaded in FLAC from a hub and again the lineage is a bit sketchy, but it was definitely extracted from the Yellow Dog bootleg "Welcome In Holland" (catalog # YD 059/60). The recording clearly ran too slow -- though by no means as slow as the first copy of the concert I obtained, back in the '70's -- so I have speed-corrected it using Magix Audio Cleaning Lab 10 (the speed problems were inconsistent, so I worked on each track individually, making comparisons with many other shows, especially the Paris show from the same month; the original timings are indicated in brackets). I have not applied any noise reduction, although listeners who don't like any hiss might want to do so. Certainly a soundboard, though with some volume fluctuations here and there.

Wonderful rendition of "Bridge" with piano-only accompaniment -- FAR better than the Ohio '69 version with it's crappy thumpety-thump drumming....

Comments:

After a highly successful reunion tour in 2003-2004, Simon and Garfunkel returned to the stage for a handful of dates in East Asia and Australia in 2009 with the intent to launch a worldwide tour in 2010. The plan had been to start with a handful of warmup dates, beginning with the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in late April. From comments and stories I remember reading at the time, the show was somewhat of a disaster, with Art being literally unable to sing due to his vocal chord condition. He left the stage about halfway through while Simon played a handful of solo songs, then the duo struggled through the remainder of the set. The rest of the tour was canceled, and the two haven't performed together since.

Depending on how Art's recovery progresses (as well as Paul Simon's interest in continuing the reunion around his own schedule), this may turn out to be the final Simon & Garfunkel performance.

This recording, originally posted by "checker806" in May 2010, is the only recording I've seen reach circulation from this show. Done using Zoom H2 external mics in the midst of a large GA crowd, this recording is relatively unspectacular (but laudable considering what were probably difficult taping conditions) -- not much "life" to the recording, and a fair amount of crowd noise. The performance itself, I suspect, was truncated on the fly and remained limited to the familiar material the two performed on their previous tour. Had Art been at full strength, I'm sure they would have added different content to the show to differentiate it from the previous tour.

Soundboard recording from reel - probably 2nd or 3rd gen. reel. More dynamic range and less hissy sounding than the previous seed. Also includes an extra minute and a half of a partial "Leaves They Are Green" that's missing from the previous copy and from most lists of this show on the web.

This copy was gone through carefully to seamlessly remove many clicks and other minor flaws, and has not been circulated from this source before.

There is still quite a bit of tape hiss, but not as loud or in the way of the music as on the other copy. I rate the sound quality as VG+ but please check the samples to decide for yourself.

Notes: This show has been traded as various dates and places but most call it Tufts University '66 or march 11, 1967. My reel was labeled "Tufts University Fall 1966" but evidence found on the web shows the date as March 11, 1967. There is an article and ad from the MIT University newspaper that mentions that they are playing that week but does not say that they also played at Tufts in 1966, so I am assuming that March 11, 1967 is the likely date of this recording. I have included those 2 pdf files, plus a poster that I found on the web as part of some artwork.

My reel was recorded right around the time that this tape first circulated widely in the late '70's. I think it was originally given out by someone who worked at the show. It was not supposed to be traded, but was soon leaked by someone and then bootlegged extensively after that.

(DVDfull NTSC pro-shot)

No released material here. In fact, there is apparently no released Simon & Garfunkel on video from the sixties at all and no live in studio Simon and Garfunkel as audio releases either.

Lineage:
16 mm. black & white Film > U-Matic video tape > VHS > Final Cut Pro (with Pro Tools audio improvements) > DVD Studio Pro > VIDEO_TS file set.

There was quite a bit of dust on the film when transferred and it shows some during playback. However, it is still very good to excellent black and white video. It's got monophonic TV audio - not spectacular sounding but quite listenable. I have never seen this material circulated before now.

Other notes:
Kraft Music Hall was a longtime running series that went through many changes over the years with different hosts and formats starting on radio in 1933. Bing Crosby was the regular host from 1936 to 1946. Kraft moved to television in 1947 but switched to weekly dramatic productions as "Kraft Television Theatre". The "music-hall" format first appeared on TV in the 1958-59 season with regular hosts that included Milton Berle and
Perry Como. The show went from regular hosts to a variety of different hosts from week to week beginning in the fall of 1967 and it remained in production until 1971.
