The review of this concert, in The Pioneer of October 16, is one of the first I have read that was not just only praise.

First that the emphasis was on the new “Bookends” album and that left little room form their fine songs of the earlier albums.

But also “[ ] we saw another side of S&G [] “There was a noticable lack of stage presence, very little communcation with the audience. A mortal sin for any performer”.

The War Memorial was probably to large for S&G.. “War Memorial location seems to indicate not so much in entetaining as in accumulating quantity (people & money) on the part of the promotors”.

Bill Baird, the reviewer, also mentions: “Another uncontrollable factor was the number of very inconsiderate, boorish people who insisted on taking flash pictures despite S&G’s rewuest to refrain from doing so”. And Baird ends with: “Despite the aloofnesh that Art Garfunkel tried to show during the performance, they were given a standing ovation. This response may well have been not so much in appreciation for what had been don but a demand for more for their money”.
