With many thanks to Roy Dripps, who sent me a picture of the handbill, another two shows have been added:

1967-09-29 West Lafayette, Purdue University, Hall of Music

1967-09-30 West Lafayette, Purdeu University, Hall of Music

During their 1967 College tour Simon & Garfunkel also played (April 14)  in the Sam Carver Gym, Western Washington University, in Bellingham.

Thanks to the kind help of the Library it is possible to post here a couple of pictures, an editorial for the upcoming show and a review. Nice to read that S&G were working on a new album called ‘ Simon & Garfunkel at the zoo’ .

Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

     

From time to time eBay has very interesting auctions. I discovered some College / University yearbooks that offered information about Simon & Garfunkel performances.

Here’s an example:

1968-04-19  Allentown, Muhlenberg College, Memorial Hall (mentioned in yearbook 1968)

 

This year will see Simon & Garfunkel start their tour in Canada.

Today I found some new info about shows, in 1967,  also in Canada.

1967-00-00 London, Ontario, University of Western Ontario
1967-00-00 Winnipeg, University of Manitoba

No exact dates so far, but the performances were mentioned in yearbooks.

(And some new data to the 1968 section were added as well today)

With many thanks to Roy Dripps I will be able to add many photos (like November 9th 1969) and memorabilia from concerts from 1967  to 1994.

Here are a view of them:

and the November 9th 1969 show in Miami:

Check the pages with concert info for the rest of them from time to time!

In a very nice post (see: http://dmc.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4647638) on www.artgarfunkel.com  Mike Slater tells he went to Art Garfunkel’s concert 1978-05-01 in NYC’s Carnegie Hall when Paul Simon walked on stage for 3 songs with Art: “The Boxer”, “Old Friends” and “Bye, Bye Love”.

From my tapes-vault I haven unearthed an interview with Paul Simon from November 1980.

Paul was in the UK because of the ‘ One-trick Pony’- tour he was doing in Europe. He was interviewed live on November 7th 1980 by Capital Radio in the UK.  You can download the interview through 1Fichier
(Flac files, convert them to MP3 or WAV)

Request:

I saw Paul Simon in Brussels (Belgium) at Voorst Nationaal and to me it was a mind blowing show. A great horn-section, Steve Gadd, Richard Tee, Eric Gale and Tony & Peter Levin. At the end of the show Paul jumped on the piano to say ‘goodbye’ and thank us!
