Simon and Garfunkel's "Old Friends: Live on Stage" 2 CDs, 1 DVD (11/30/04)

Can't wait to get this set. I had tix to the show in Atlanta last year but had to miss it due to final exams. I don't know a lot about this set; Amazon doesn't say a whole lot. I hope the DVD is a live concert and not just behind the scened stuff.

From Billboard:


CD/DVD Celebrates Simon & Garfunkel Reunion

As first tipped here last month, Warner Bros. will on Nov. 30 release the Simon and Garfunkel concert document "Old Friends: Live on Stage." Chronicling the pair's triumphant 2003 reunion tour, the project will be available as a stand-alone DVD, a double-CD set and a deluxe edition with both the DVD and CDs.

It is unknown if the 26-track "Old Friends" was recorded at one show or throughout the trek, which grossed approximately $75 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. The track list includes such classics as "Scarborough Fair," "The Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water," plus the pre S&G single "Hey Schoolgirl" (as Tom And Jerry) and the pair's 1975 reunion single "My Little Town."

Also reproduced are the Everly Brothers' mid-set performances of "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have To Do Is Dream" and "Bye Bye Love" with Simon and Garfunkel.

The DVD includes a pair of tantalizing extras, including a new Simon and Garfunkel audio track "Citizen of the Planet," originally written for Simon's 1983 solo album, "Hearts and Bones." Also featured is previously unreleased footage believed to originate from the 1969 TV special "Songs of America," hosted by actor Charles Grodin.

The Old Friends tour wrapped in Rome on July 31. Simon is at work on his next solo album with producer Brian Eno.

Here is the track list for "Old Friends":

"Old Friends/Bookends"
"A Hazy Shade of Winter"
"I am a Rock"
"America"
"At the Zoo"
"Baby Driver"
"Kathy's Song"
"Hey, Schoolgirl"
"Wake Up Little Susie" (the Everly Brothers)
"All I Have To Do Is Dream" (the Everly Brothers)

"Mrs. Robinson"
"Slip Slidin' Away"
"El Condor Pasa"
"Keep the Customer Satisfied"
"The Only Living Boy in New York"
