While I am working on a more complete list of concerts I found a picture of a concert Simon & Garfunkel gave at Texas Tech University in Lubbock on October 2, 1967:
The list will become longer and hopefully more complete in the near future.
A couple of days after their famous January 22nd show in New York City, Simon & Garfunkel, went on with their college tour of 1967 to Canada.
During the College Winter Carnivals they were invited to played the following Carnivals:
1967-01-27 Saint John, Canada, University of New Brunswick, Barrack Green’s Armories (during Wintercarnival)
1967-01-29 Toronto, Canada, Massey Hall
1967-01-30 Toronto, Canada, Massey Hall
1967-02-02 Frederickton, Canada, The Playhouse (2 shows: 7.00pm and 9.15pm)
1967-02-03 Frederickton, Canada, The Playhouse (2 shows: 7.00pm and 9.15pm)
1967-02-04 Wolfville, Canada, University Hall
1967-02-05 Ottawa, Canada, Capitol Theatre
Simon & Garfunkel repleaced “The Lovin’ Spoonful” in Saint John. The show drew 3000 attendants and they sang “The sound of silence”, “A hazy shade of winter” and “a very pretty ballad-type piece “For Emily, when ever I may find her”. [source: Telegraph Journal, Jan 28, 1967].
The first set on February 2nd was attended by only 400, but this was around 800 the second set. The sets of the 3rd were “sold out”. [source: The Daily Gealner, Feb 03, 1967]
1967-02-06 Montreal, Canada, Sir George Williams University
And in the Summer of ’67 they would again return to Canada:
1967-07-06 Winnipeg, Auditorium
1967-07-14 Montreal, QUE Expo ’67 Expo Theatre (2 shows: 6.30pm and 9.30 pm)
1967-07-15 Montreal, QUE Expo ’67 Expo Theatre (2 shows: 6.30pm and 9.30 pm)

1967-04-20 Wilkes-Barre, Kingston Armory, PA, USA
The list of concerts that we know now of is growing steadily.
Especially those at colleges. Here they played on the opening night of the College Spring Week.
Roy sent an very nice clipping from the Fordham University news paper:
Simon & Garfunkel performed twice at Fordham. You can read all about it
here.
On January 15 Simon & Garfunkel played a concert at the University of Detroit. It was reviewed in the Detroit Free Press of January 17, 1967.
You can read the complete review here:

1967-07-21 Chicago, Civic Opera House
1967-07-22 Chicago, Civic Opera House
“Wow Carnegie Hall” says Art Garfunkel before start singing ‘Leave that are green”.
Next week it will be 48 years ago that Simon & Garfunkel played New York City’s Philharmonic Hall. Still at the beginning of their career with two albums (“Sounds of Silence”, “Parseley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme”) released on Columbia Records, this was a wonderful concert at the start of 1967.
On the left is the announcement of the concert that night (Janaury 22) and on the right the review of the concert which was published on the 23rd.
The concert was eventually released – not completely – in 2002 as “Simon & Garfunkel – Live from New York City, 1967” (Columbia/Legacy 5080679) after parts of it had appeared on the triple cd-set “Old Friends”.
And Carnegie Hall? Well that woul have to wait untill 1968
