Art Garfunkel on Tour in 1978

Art Garfunkel did not tour that much in the early 70’s. He did not go on tour when his album ‘Angel Clare’was released. But that changed when the follow-up was released, ‘Watermark’. A beautiful Jimmy Webb album.

Most of the spring tour were done with singer Dan Hill.

The itinerary from the advertisment in Billboard sometimes has different dates that some ticketstubs make us believe that shows were really done. Could be that some had to be re-scheduled.

Is it Garfunkel or Garfunkle ?

‘What’s in a name?’ one could ask or say. But when it comes down to finding new Simon & Garfunkel, spelling the name wrongly helped! Often Arts name had been misspelled in newspapers or even in advertisements for concerts as Garfunkle.

The misstyping of his name brings a couple of new concerts:

1966-03-30 Ithaca College Gymnasium
1966-05-01 University of Massachussetss, Boston, UBM / The Armory (during Spring Weekend)
1967-01-13  Binghampot, Bimghampton University, Harpur College
1967/1968  a concert at University of Missouri, Kansas City  (UMKC) is being prepared

and even corrections:

1967-11-17 – San José, Civic Auditorium

1966, 1967 and 1968 concert ticket stubs and more

One of the earlier shows of Simon & Garfunkel in the United States was the on March 12th 1966. As part of the Carnival Festival the duo was billed together with Jonny & The Hurricanes in the Marquette Gymnasium:

The Forest Hills Festival was run over more days in a row. In 1966 Simon & Garfunkel were already part of this festival too, together with The Mama’s &  Papa’s:

  
In 1967 they would be playing the Festival again:

And in January of 1968 they would fill New York’s Carnegie Hall as headliners:

Most of these items were sold or offered on eBay recently.
