Hi,
I just found a new date Saturday 20 April 1968: Ithaca, NY Cornell University Barton Hall.
A new date found today:
Sat 10 February 1968 Pittsburgh, PA Syria Mosque
Hello,
According to the Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem NC “Howler” yearbook, Class of 1968, Simon and Garfunkel appeared on campus for Homecoming Weekend. (Likely in October 1967.)
thank you Joe for the new informtion you have sent recently.It’s very much appreciated.
Hello,
I’ve discovered a new concert in 1968:
12 October Durham, NC Duke University
10-4-68 was in COLUMBUS – not
1968-10-04 Coulmbia, Ohio State University, St. John Arena
I have a ticket stub for that concert.
my husband went
mezzanine section 8a
thank you for the update. I will change it accordingly in the list.
Hello,
I’ve come across two dates in 1968, one a correction for an existing gig. The new concert is:
Fri 15 NOV Omaha, NE Civic Auditorium (advert – Omaha World Herald 10/24/68, p 15)
(review – Omaha World Herald 11/16/68, p 8)
*Fri 18 OCT Portland,OR Memorial Coliseum (advert – Oregonian 10/9/68, p 15)
(review – Oregonian 10/19/68, p 7)
*This is a correction for this date previously listed at Eugene, OR.
Hello,
In the ‘Old Friends’ box set, there are three recordings from a concert in Burlington, VT on 10/13/68. The songs recorded are:
– “Overs”
– “A Most Peculiar Man”
– “Bye Bye Love”
There isn’t much coverage of this concert, and I was wondering if you had any info whatsoever on said concert — any confirmation?
How could I have forgotten to add this one to the list? Thank you for mentioning it and bringing it under my attention. So far nothing in the press about this concert has been found. I have concert in Burlington in the 1967 calendar, if you you google it there’s also a mentioning for a 1969 performance. I will keep an eye out for more information, sure!
Thank you!
Hello – I’ve found a new gig for 1968: Saturday 3 February San Diego Community Concourse.
Joe, thanks! As a high school kid, I attended the 2/3/68 concert with my now-wife Linda.
If you please, where and how did your detective work uncover this overlooked event?
Last night – 50 years later – we heard Art here in SD again. With him we say “Thank God!”
Jim S.
I lived in San Diego I went to that concert it was wonderful I was only 17 but I remember it well

Hello,
I’ve discovered a new concert date in April 1968:
Sunday 21 April Columbus, OH Veterans Memorial Auditorium – 7:30pm.
(citation: Ohio State University “Lantern”, Sat 15 April, page 2)
It appears there was no review of this show.
Thanks for the useful information on these gig dates.
I remaster live gig recordings found on the internet, and with a little studio magic, make them sound as great as possible – then broadcast them on internet radio. I have chosen a great S & G recording which exists of the Hollywood Bowl show from 1968 for my next show.
The station is Radio Happy, on the web at http://www.radio-happy.com and also available on the TuneIn app for phones and tablets.
This show will be on the air on Tuesday 27 August at 7pm UK time with an hour of 60s tunes; the S & G show will then start at 8pm. A free download link will appear a few days later at http://flipmartian.moonfruit.com/#/live-and-loud-shows/4576208745. I hope this is of interest.
Hello again,
I’ve got a new concert date:
Sunday 3 November 1968 Memphis, TN Mid-South Coliseum
(review: Memphis Commercial Appeal Monday 4 November, page 14)
The review mentioned that 7,074 people attended the performance and hecklers caused some problems at the beginning of the show but eventually were won over.
Hello again,
I forgot to include this in my last post:
Sat 27 April 1968 Fort Worth, TX TCU (Texas Christian University) Daniel Meyer Coliseum
One performance, 8pm.
(citation: Dallas Morning News Sat 13 April 1968, section A, page 16.
It appears there was no review of the show in the Dallas Morning News, there may have been one in the University student newspaper.
I have a pair of unused tickets for the April 27, 1968 concert
Hi Vince, could you scan these so they could be used here? Or tell me in what venue this concert was held? Thanks, Rob
Hi Rob, how would I add the photos to my reply
Hi Rob, did you get the email I sent you with the pictures of the tickets & passes
The show marked: 1968-05-08 Davenport, MI, Davenport College, Civic Auditorium, was actually February 8,1968 and was in Grand Rapids, Michigan not Davenport. The show was sponsored by Davenport College and Grand Rapids Junior College. It was held in the Civic Auditorium. This information can be seen on the ticket scan.
Thank yopu fopr your info. I mis-typed the date into 05 as it seems. But now I have been able to change it with the correct city too. Much appreciated.
One last point. The venue had nothing to do with Davenport College. It was the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium. Davenport was just a sponsor of the event.
I have added the sponsorship too now.
Were you there at that concert?
Yes, I was there.
I saw them at St. John’s arena in Columbus, Ohio. It was my very first concert (I was seven!) and I remember that someone boo-ed something they said and my father yelled, “For shame!” I learned to harmonize from listening to their albums and those of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
So excited! I have looked everywhere for the date/location of the concert I went to when I was about 16. (1968-69). It was either TCU or SMU, and was the most magical time. Small crowd, just the two of them and their guitars. I think the 4/13/68 appearance mentioned above was the one I went to….does anyone know if they also appeared in Fort Worth at that time? Not everyone knew about them, so, it may have been the smaller TCU venue at the college. Any pics of tiks, etc? Thanks!
A couple of years ago (and further up the comments) I mentioned the remaster I did of the Hollywood Bowl show. It now has a permanent home where it can also be streamed or downloaded for free:

Hi – Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this, but although the Royal Albert Hall gig on 8 March ’68 was indeed, as Billboard described, sold out, it didn’t actually happen – it was cancelled at (very) short notice because Art was ill… The later date at the same venue (31 May) was introduced to compensate.
Yes you are so right. So the July concert I mentioned (without the day) is better changed into May 31st. I will do that. Thank you for your comment.
Saw the Athens, Ohio concert in October 1968. Wish I had the ticket stub! First live concert I ever saw at age 18! It was great!
I blog quite often and I really appreciate your information. Your article has really peaked my interest. I’m going to book mark your website and keep checking for new information about once per week. I opted in for your Feed too.
Well I am glad with all appreciation. Thanks.
I saw S&G at Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia MD) in August 1968 but cannot find any website listing that concert. It was mentioned briefly in articles about the 50th anniversary of Merriweather last year but somehow is left out of S&G concert listings on SetLIst.fm and Paul Simon’s website among other sites. Does anyone have more information about this concert to include the actual date?
Rick, I have to update my listings at the blog, which I hope to do second part of coming May.
But I have date for the Post Pavillion concert:
– August 15 post pavilion, Columbia
Hope that helps,
Rob
August 15, 1968. The most beautiful and magical concert. I was in high school. Went with friends. We had grass tickets with only the stars over us. It was a beautiful night, perfect weather with just the two of them and their guitars. At one point they signaled for everyone to be quiet. There was total silence and only crickets could be heard. They then started or continued, can’t remember well, Sounds of Silence. It was pure magic. I have never forgotten that moment.
Hello Ondina, thank you for sharing your memories on this concert here. It sure must have been special to have seen them in 1968.
The concert you show as:
1968-02-04 ?, USA, Memorial Auditorium
…was in Sacramento, California. I was there. Met Paul and Art at Freeborn Hall in Davis before their show the following day.
You have the handbill/poster for it already, several items below the date. It is the one that’s mostly green and yellow.
I beg pardon. Part of that last post was inaccurate. I wasn’t at the Feb. 4 1968 concert at Memorial Auditorium. It was the April 8 1967 concert that I saw at Memorial Auditorium. The show at Freeborn Hall in Davis was the next day, April 9 1967.
Hello Bob, thank you for the info you sent. Much appreciated, as all info from people who were actually at these shows. I changed the list immediately.
I have still some 100 concerts to add the list, which I will do soon now.
Taken from library archives at Colorado State University.
On November 22, 1968, singers and songwriters Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel performed to a packed house at Moby Gym.
(CSU Rocky Mountain Collegian, November 4, 1968, page 5, vol. LXXVII, number 26)
(CSU Rocky Mountain Collegian, November 25, 1968, page 13, vol. LXXVII, number 35)
Well thank you for this concert date . This one is indeed not on the list that I have (a new one and more complete will be on the blog soon), so I will add this one.
Again, thank you, much appreciated this information.
Dear Bryan, are those pages of the Collegian on the internet to be found?
CORRECTION:
1968, 04-25 El Paso, University of Texas at El Paso – UTEP’s Memorial Gym.
I was a student there and saw their concert, here’s a story about their performance. We were in the basketball gym and the acoustics weren’t the best and many people were complaining and shouting out they couldn’t hear them. During a quiet moment between songs and audience member accidentally knocked over an empty bottle of Pop which everyone heard including Simon and Garfunkel. Simon quickly asked what kind of sound system that person was using, this caused the entire audience to break out and laughter.
Thank you for sharing your memories here. Typical Paul Simon to react quickly. I will adjust the info on the blog
i have a ticket stub for October 25, 1968 at the U of PA Palestra. I was there.
Hi, thanks for your comment. The lists are not 100% correct. I have the October 25 show listed in Athens. And 2 shows in Palestra. So I am bit confused now. Can you send a pic of the ticket stub? Use ttmj2916@gmail.com, please.
