The internet brings us great historical facts:

[..]all-nighters at Les Cousins! I played there many times during late ’65 and the first two months of ’66, emceeing the midnight to 7 am sessions on Saturday January 15, February 5th, 19th and March 11th. Pay was 10 Quid and I was glad to have the bookings. One of the February bookings was Paul Simon’s “Going Away” party when Paul was finally going back home to work the “Sounds of Silence” success (under duress from Columbia). That was an amazing night, Derroll Adams, Sandy Denny, Jackson C. Frank, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and the usual suspects. Meg came down and sang her “I’ll Fly Away.”[..] (see: http://mudcat.org/Detail.CFM?messages__Message_ID=2868806)

1966-02-05: London – Les Cousins – Paul Simon’s Farewell Party

With thanks to Joe McMichael we could add the following to the list of 1966:

With many thanks to Brian I can show you here two record surveys of KHJ Radio in Los Angeles.

The December 1st sows a ‘ tie’  on spot 19 with The Turtles’ Let be me. And two weeks later The Beatles kept Simon & Garfunkel on spot 2.

1979-09-23 New York City – Madison Square Gardens

No Nukes Concert

– Slip slidin’  away

– The sound of silence

– Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Paul Simon – vocal, electric guitar (yes, electric guitar!)

Following the March 1979 meltdown at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island nuclear reactor (the worst accident in United States nuclear power plant history), Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt, Harvey Wasserman and John Hall joined forces to found the activist group Musicians United for Safe Energy. Raising awareness of safe energy alternatives and advocating against the use of nuclear energy, MUSE would stage a monumental week-long series of concerts at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, in addition to a massive public rally held in Battery Park, attended by nearly 200,000.

These September 1979 events, staged as MUSE Concerts for a Non-Nuclear Future – commonly referred to as the No Nukes Concerts, would present a stellar roster of diverse performers, many collaborating for the first time. The core collective of Browne, Raitt, Nash and Hall would be joined on stage by many of their like-minded friends, including James Taylor, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Chaka Khan, The Doobie Brothers, Jesse Colin Young, Peter Tosh, Gil Scott-Heron, Peter Allen, Sweet Honey In The Rock, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Ry Cooder and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, in addition to unscheduled appearances by Carly Simon, Phoebe Snow, Stephen Bishop and Paul Simon.

A triple live album and theatrical film, titled No Nukes: The MUSE Concerts For a Non-Nuclear Future, would document this series of events. Thanks in large part to the album including the very first official release of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band live on stage (in the form of “Detroit Medley,” which received considerable FM radio play), the No Nukes album would be certified gold within the year. Until now, the album and film were the only means of experiencing the MUSE concerts. For the first time ever, listeners can now enjoy these legendary live performances and rare collaborations unedited, exactly as they occurred decades ago.

 

This ticket was for sale on eBay this week. The date was

1966 November 13

and the concert was held in Mt St Mary’s and St Joseph College.

In the 1966 lit there is a mentioning of a concert in Emmitsburg on November 15, probably the same and the date must be changed into the 12th now.
