SIMON AND GARFUNKEL
Listen To The Silence [no label, 2CD]
Live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; August 22, 1983. Very good soundboard.
In May 2015, four decades after their parting, Art Garfunkel talked about his feelings towards his former musical partner ahead of a solo tour. He told the Telegraph that he thought Paul Simon’s decision to originally part from the singer was “very strange”. He added: “I want to open up about this. I don’t want to say any anti-Paul Simon things, but it seems very perverse to not enjoy the glory. Crazy. What I would have done is take a rest from Paul, because he was getting on my nerves. The jokes had run dry. How can you walk away from this lucky place on top of the world, Paul? What’s going on with you, you idiot? How could you let that go, jerk?”
When the Telegraph interviewer suggested that Simon might have a “Napoleon complex”, Garfunkel agreed, adding that at school he felt sorry for his friend because of his height, so he in turn offered him friendship as a compensation. “And that compensation gesture has created a monster,” he says. “End of interview.”
In spite of these comments, Garfunkel did not rule out a future reunion, and said that a Simon & Garfunkel show would be “quite doable”, describing their collaborative efforts as “a delight to both of our ears”. “So, as far as this half is concerned, I would say, ‘Why not, while we’re still alive?’” - The Guardian
