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.
