Right after their success with their hit ” The sound of silence ” Simon & Garfunkel went into the studio to record. Their first album ” Sounds of silence ” brought at least 2 new hit records ” Homeward Bound” and ” I am a rock “. A follow up album would be released not long after. Paul and Art went on tour in the US, mostly they were engaged to perform at Colleges, ofther during Winter Carnival or the beginning of the new school year. They also visited Europe again. So far we knew about performance in England, Holland and recent also in France. But reader Lars Fyledal from Sweden dived into the history and found out that Simon & Garfunkel toured in Sweden.
As Lars informs us:
S & G did a 3 days tour of Sweden. First date (premiere date) was on saturday, the 2nd of July 1966 at Ängby Park, Knivsta at 21.30.
Second date was saturday, also 2nd of July 1966 at Skogsvallen,Östervåla at 23.45.
S & G also did a video at Mariefred Station for “Homeward bound” during their stay. It was done for the swedish TV and the programme Popside. The video was made by Peter Goldmann who did the Penny Lane single video.
They were also interviewed:, but is a bit mediocre: “The reporter writes among other things that Paul will move to England and Kathy as soon as this tour ends“.


Hi again! These two performances must be the second and third concert in Sweden. Two concerts in one day, that’s not bad. It is mentioned that they were interviewed. If you or someone else has the article with the interview I would really like to read it.
It is mentioned that they were interviewed while in Sweden, so if you have some more Swedish articles about the gigs in Sweden, you are welcome to e-mail it to me, and I can translate it.
I am sorry I have not the Swedish interviews.
Okay. If something turns up (If some other Swedish reader finds someting), I can help out with translation.
