You're absolutely correct.

Maybe they followed it up with this song during that concert but it seems appropriate to post a link here given the longevity of their relationship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPTOY8FrvNw

When music was music and lyrics were poetry. Thanks, Paul.

Brought back a lot of memories for me and it's good to see even young people love it too........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xysVNigCsU


I've been following the young lady on drums for 2 years now and have been a supporter in her endeavors just as long. It's good to see that the future of music is in good hands when I see young people playing music such as this.

Everyone smiles in the same language (Unknown)

It lives on in my house with my son, but none of the renditions rise to the original IMHO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4

Just curious. Why would you post a link to a version that is clearly NOT the original? The Simon And Garfunkel version IS the original and, I will offer my opinion (for what it's worth), clearly the best version of the song recorded thus far.

I was waiting for the Disturbed version to be mentioned, love it! S&G's version is the great but Disturbed's emotion is chilling. It puts a whole different meaning to the song IMO.

(GreyFalcon) Seriously? That is so NOT the original - only by 50 years.

(DaDwarfs) OK, I'm an old fogey, but for those of us who know and love the (real) original that version is bloody awful.

The point of the post is that 50 years on and after many years of both performing solo S&G are able to return to the stage and render the song so well again.
