1966 november 5: Concert announcement

1966-11-05 Mundellein College Chicago

During the 1966 Homecoming weekend Simon & Garfunkel were booked to perform 2 shows on November 5th (5pm and 8pm) at Mundelein College in Chicago.

The picture above comes from the student newspaper ” The Skyscraper” of October 19th 1966.

In another article about these concerts, there is mentioning of the fact that the duo has appeared at McCormick Place. That was on March 31st, earlier that same year. In my list of concerts I had it under ” Arie Crown Theater “.

About the concert is written in The Skyscraper edition of November 16th, the following:

Financially the concert seems not to have been going that well for the College, there was talk about “to alleviate the Simon & Garfunkel deficit” .

I thank Aine Boylan for sharing the info here.
