OLD FRIENDS: LIVE ON STAGE
DELUXE CD AND DVD SET CHRONICLES SIMON & GARFUNKEL "OLD FRIENDS TOUR"
Historic Release Features Bonus Audio Track Of Revived Vintage Song
Old Friends: Live On Stage, a deluxe double CD and DVD package capturing the historic
2003-2004 Simon & Garfunkel "Old Friends Tour" was released November 30th 2004, on Warner Bros. Records in the US
and Sony BMG internationally. Along with the deluxe two CD and DVD edition, Old Friends: Live On Stage will be released
as a two CD set as well as in a DVD-only configuration.
Featuring a wealth of classic material from the legendary pair, who recently toured together for the
first time in over twenty years, Old Friends: Live On Stage spans the duo’s unparalleled career and includes
such enduring Simon & Garfunkel favorites as "The Sound Of Silence," "I Am A Rock," "Scarborough Fair," "Bridge Over Troubled
Water," "Mrs. Robinson," "A Hazy Shade Of Winter," "The Boxer" and a host of others. Old Friends: Live On Stage also
features a bonus audio track "Citizen of the Planet," originally written by Paul Simon in the early 80’s to be a part
of the duo’s repertoire but never recorded until Art Garfunkel added vocals especially for this release.
"’Citizen of the Planet’ was a demo that Paul made some years ago," Garfunkel recently
remarked. "I always liked it, but we’d never put it on anything. I came across it in my kitchen just last year, played
it again and loved it again. I'm a big protagonist of ‘Citizen of the Planet.’"
This package also spotlights a treasure of extras including liner
notes by acclaimed music journalist David Wild, a photo gallery and rare footage from a 1970’s Simon & Garfunkel
television special. Also included are performances on the DVD of "Wake Up Little Susie" and "All I Have To Do Is Dream" by
special guests The Everly Brothers as well as "Bye Bye Love," on both the CD and DVD with the Everlys and Simon & Garfunkel.
Material for both the CD set and the DVD was taken from the duo’s
5 SRO performances at New Jersey Meadowlands' Continental Airlines Arena and New York City’s Madison Square Garden,
December 3rd-8th, 2003.
