Simon and Garfunkel are simply in a class of their own.
Imho this is the best rendition of this song, Audio and video. I watched it many times.
Amazing 🙂

Wonder what music they could have made. Remarkable volume from such a short period
Despite all their drama, they are still one of the best duets ever. Their music will live on forever in my life for sure.
What drama?
@@UnsanHame they've had what could be considered a near life-long feud. Unfortunately it's what led to them disbanding and never really being able to come back together to work aside from one-off performances and shows. There are lots of articles and interviews that cover it.
@@brianjs On the other hand, maybe this feud made them what they are - the legends loved by the hundreds of millions.
Wasn’t it that Simon wanted to focus on music purely, and Art wanted other things
Also Kudos to the pianist - outstanding!
What an uniquely angelic voice Art Garfunkel has, what a gift to humanity, what a privilege for us mortals to listen to….
Two humble men singing one of the greatest songs ever.
Love,love this video!
My wife and I were there for that concert. It was the second time seeing S&G live, the first time was at Forrest Hills Tennis Stadium about 1970 or 71, just after Bridge was released. Awesome!
I love how Paul falls back at 4:13 to give Art his moment and then when Art realizes brings him back with him as Paul's clapping for him. The respect between these two. Such gentlemen
Came here to say the same thing. When Paul walks backward out of view, it's a perfect moment that I have played a thousand times. Hats off to the camera person and the editor/switcher for that shot.
Proper musicianship and stage etiquette for soloists to step aside to feature the other performer.
Wish theyd never parted
@@jennifferwalton3345 I think we all do
Such an amazing singer ‘Paul’ his voice is amazing xx I also love Arty xx
I, at 66 years old, would like to thank these two men for, sure listened to them for years, for being. Their music is immortal.
Having my last days as a teen listening to them now. Listened to them occasionally since 2018
I am also 66. ❤
Same age, now 67. For me this is the best rendition because of the passion in their voices but particularly because of the expression and finesse of the keyboard player. He is the real hero of this recording.
Ms.shoosh I am 73 and ditto!
So no one is going to mention the passion and love used by the pianist? He is incredible!
The pianist is awesome
@@dawngollop8827 Absolutely!
I definitely noticed!! Awesome performance
Yes I noticed the pianist
Larry Knechtel!!
I see two friends enjoying their short time together. One of the greatest songs ever.
+Johnny Johnson Couldn't agree more
perfectly said.:)
Friends? I doubt these two guys have anything close to a friendly relationship. Body language and story speak against that.
They may not be friends, but there is a mutual respect shown. They both know they would've needed a different path without the other. The path they chose put them both in esteemed territory.
Tom, I think they have a mutual beneficial working relationship. That's probably as far as I would take it without the benefit of having an intimate relationship with any of these two fabulous artists.
I am 70 now. I listened to this song when I was 17. Remain in my mind n Heart. Love all ❤. From Singapore
One of the few examples of real music.
I am 82 and feel exactly the same as you. No one ever better!
It is unhealthy how many times I have watched this.
Nup....sorry got to disagree.....TOTALLY Healthy :)
Nah good for the soul xo! One of the best songs ever made. Elvis did one hell of a job too on this song
Art Garfunkel Paul Simon never die
I listen to thus just about every night before I fall asleep ❣️❣️
i feel the same
For me - in a very sad and meaningful moment - the line "when darkness comes so hard" - performed in a way by Paul Simon that i just can't describe - means everything.
I am literally crying right now as this song is ending. The vocals, the goosebumps, the audience screaming. Two legends on stage making others happy with their music. Such a powerful song it breaks my heart...
I wish you well. God bless you and heal you
Exactly what Jay said.

@@SuperAna1954 ft
I just love how Paul is clapping and looking at Art at the end...just beautifull
Dalibor Lucic it shows how much they respect each other even if they don’t get along well anymore
Turning 70 years young in June.. this song really moves my heart, because my now deceased brother, Dennis, " Turkey" Archer played this album, over & over & over in the mid 60s, down in the basement of our house in Saginaw Michigan.
Absolutely one of, if not THE greatest duo of pop music. Our loss that they didn’t maintain their collaboration.
Fran.,,, so true,,, the words the song just reaches your soul 🎶❤️
@Hello Fran how are you doing
the sad fact they couldn't get along with one another they both were blaming the other person for doing something they couldn't as far as music was concerned.not realizing that both of them together made wonderful music and could not do it without the other.
Milli Vanilli was much better
@@supersaiyaman11589Human nature. They did all they could though when they could. How many can say that? I ❤ them❤
How Paul just disappears in the end to let Art sing and get the spotlight, and the smile afterwards, it's beautiful..
Art Garfunkel, one of the most underrated singers in music
not so much underrated. Definitly underappreciated.
joe riznyk
You mean Autotune Garfunkel?
Moron
its true. pauls songs are world class but without art singing with him this song is only 50%
Here I am, a middle age man. Half my life behind me and hopefully at least half in front of me. I listen to all types of music but find myself listening to this song in particular every so often. So few hits between this duo but oh what great songs they are. Whatever differences led them to separate, it is great to see them come together, sing this masterpiece, and show the ultimate respect to one another at the end. This comment will be buried with the rest, but wanted to give the credit these two deserve.
Ego’s was the cause.
@@earnestmcquillan Vox.?MZVZXMV?V?Z?
They are Hero's.
Very much underated top duo !!
Exactly 💯 %
You know, I have had a pretty bad day today. Nothing went right at work, my kids are struggling with college and I can't help them, and I' navigating the standard health challenges that most 60 year olds deal with. I ran across this video and watched it all the way through. None of that crap seems to be anything major now. These two men are legendary.
Ich bin auch 60, ich weiß wovon du sprichst
Awesome how music soothes the soul for you. At 6O I had my health turn on me. Lung cancer (able to conquer) clogged major artery my BRILLIANT doc grafted and a hyper thyroid we've been able to calm. Thru it all I used music to calm the fear. Putting our trust in total strangers is so hard but they earned my trust. My 3 girls are thru college and strong. I used to say I'd work til I died bc I loved my career but retired last yr And now hang out with my grandkids.
Hope you're remaining calm still with music as you walk thru some strife. It's hard to be powerless but seems you know the way to calm...peace to you Mark. Just walk towards retirement. Lawdy it's great 😃.
👍
I am an employee of Madison Square Garden with the technology and sound department, can tell you there was no auto tune involved. They just have older voices. :)
Agreed...I've listened to this extensively and there is simply no autotune.
+Lee Keels I've seen another video of the same performance and on this one they have used auto tune but only slightly for a couple of high notes, they still sang amazingly 😊
+maddison lynn stop
+beardown2489 stop?
what an amazing job that must be
When they came back together and harmonised, my heart swelled. Beautiful
The contrasting individuality of them both acts as a uniform, a true Simon and Garfunkel moment.
salutation dresseurs
bonjourr
I wish they came back together again, despite they now in their 80s
Can never get tired of this song, no matter how many times it is redone.
Possibly the greatest live performance of a song ever
I agree!
There may NEVER be a duet like this again!!! This is what it sounds like when your voice is an instrument that just takes over everything else. Both are great by themselves but WOW - together - like no one else.
People busting on Art's voice on this? Seriously? I am shocked and stunned that he is this good at age 68 here. No one's voice remains exactly the same at 70 as it was like 20. That being said.. Art still sounds like Art.. still has that signature sound and Paul sounds great too.
paul rogers kept his voice the same for a veeeeeeery long time so far! he is the only person i know who has managed it
I agree!!! And in my opinion, Art shows much mor passion and love. I like Art Garfunkel
I don't think people get that a person's voice changes when they get old. I guess people still expect that they would still sound like their 20 something selves. Like you said, Art sounds good for his age....you can still hear the passion and emotion in his voice and it's still angelic as ever.
I don't think Art sounds horrible here, maybe not exactly the same, the only difference is he is singing at a lower key than the key he usually sings at. He still sounds very good actually. I think he smoked a lot which is why his voice might sound a little dark because of that. But it isn't terrible. His voice is just at a lower key in pitch. It still sounds great and he is still able to hit the notes, just one key and pitch down. Very good Art! Glad you are coming back!!!!!
Sounds pretty good to me...:)
I adore Simon to give that last part to Garfunkel. These 2 are legend!
This is definitely one of THE Songs of all time, by Art Garfunkel, especially when he sang it alone at the Pop Concert in Central Park many years ago.
Man, so much respect to Simon at 4:10 when he holds Garfunkel's back to give the part and seeing his lips sing as he walks backwards.
And the way Garfunkel then grabs Simon at the end of the song as to say 'you were a big part of this too'. Love it
Paul Simon always said he wrote this song specifically to showcase Art’s voice. He wrote the solos into it for Art to sing.
Well he wrote it for Artie so he’s like yeah I’ll sing one verse but you can finish it like always
You have to remmerber Simon wrote all this songs, but with our Garfunkel voice the songs who be nothing I sam them in concert 3 times
That's my favorite moment and I've watched it more times than I can count. It's the perfect camera angle with Paul backing up out of frame. Kudos to the camera crew.
Simon and Garfunkel will always be classic performers of a rare breed
This song, along with “The Sounds of Silence “ bring back so many fond memories! I’m 70 years old. As a kid , I would spend time staying at our family farm for a few weeks every Summer. I was 12 or 13 the first time I heard “The Sounds.....”, along with my surrogate Grandmother. I was amazed that someone “her age” liked that song!😆So many happy memories! I tell adults in their 20,s and 30,s to cherish and make the most of their time now, because they will make their best memories while they’re young! That certainly has been my experience, and most of the people I know in their later years! 🤔🤔
How true..I am 64...and how blessed were we to have lived the best of music..
Im There also
These duo taught us that no matter how far they go, in their different ways, still music can bring them together and this song reminds us that friendship is something that we should treasure, and that's how magical the music it is. :)
Are u filipino?
@@Nath-ye5sq yes. I am 😅💪🇵🇭
I think they´re both pretty good, and an amazing duo when singing harmonies, but Art´s voice is just out of this world. If angels could sing, I bet they would sound like Art here.
+Daniel Acić I LOVE his whispery voice.
gussiebee I agree :-)
What makes you think angels can't sing?
Well, maybe they´re not all musical. :-)
+Daniel Acić I liked his younger voice better. but he still has it.
This was truly one of the best songs ever written!
D Winslow it’s a beautiful song
It’s a great song. No argument about it
And I think I like this key better
Total talent
Absolutely. Without a doubt.
Art Garfunkel.. His Voice is unique and unattainable forever. What a Genius...
No reply,just be great full for pur talent
These two are a national treasure.
Holy shit. Magic. The whole song is great, but from "Sail on Silver Girl" on is where the song goes next level imo.
I never understood their differences, however, when the two sing together it is ethereal!
How classy that Paul stepped back and let Art have the big finish!
After all that time being second fiddle, art really earned it
Paul had unofficially given the song to Art a long time ago. He still owns it but he knows it’s Art’s song. It’s a shame these two couldn’t make it work professionally for longer .., they made magic.
@@JimAllen-Persona Yeah they did. When they harmonize, a third voice sings.
@@thenlnlkn well, Art used to sing this particular song solo. It was always known that Paul is superior when it comes to songwriting, but Art is superior singer and this song shows best of both. This must be the best song Paul has written and the best vocal performance by Art.
The way Paul steps back respectfully and lets Art take this soaring to the end says alot.
Pure vocals,no ear plugs either
Hats off to Art Garfunkel... My admiration for him is immense.
Being 64 now, I can look back and see the beautiful music we got to hear, as opposed to today. Wow what a difference......
+PacoTheFriendlyTaco He's using a metaphor about todays music and his statement is true.
Depends on what you are listening to. This is legendary but there is also tons of great songs produced nowadays.. but if you're talking about the mainstream pop culture you're probably right.
+Stephen Austin im 50 and this music is so fantastic, we're so lucky to have it in are time...god bless us all
+Jasder If we're talking mainstream music, then you're right. If you're talking music in general, you're wrong. There is still a lot of great Music being produced. It's just that the really passionat people have moved to different genres. For example, the rock/metal scene has grown into something really great, while some other genres like classic folk-rock has dissapeard. That's because the same kind of people who once wrote comfortably numb and sound of silence are now writing music in totally different genres.
See Joe Walsh's interview. Music is (including voice ) is run threw a computer until the pitch is perfect. Musicians can't hardly make a living due to pirates.
Art Garfunkel focusses so intensely on the perfection he puts out,he actually looks depleted.The miracle that is these voices.Still after all these years...classic wonderful.
This song is amazing, it’s just to trained voices singing great lyrics. No electronic sounds, just a piano and vocals, truly captivating
Holy fuck, that piano player though!
Simon Frisk IKR he is soooo good
agreed!
Pianist is Warren Bernhardt
wow
He is VERY good. But Larry Knechtel did to this song what no one else could have done.
As being through some kinds of trauma in life, I'm devastated. And their voices gently embrace my broken heart
Die beste Musik ever. Habe Simon Garfunkel in München gesehen. Einfach spitze. Könnten sie noch einmal auftreten, ich wäre bestimmt dabei. Egal, ob New York, Sydney oder Kapstadt.
Paul Simon's solo is masterful.
God man... I put on the good headphones, have it cranked and by the end of it, I'm just sitting here crying, smiling, and looking like a damn psychopath in the middle of the cafe.. this is music friends..
a moment in time for sure. very moving my friend!!!
I was in their concert in Boston, I was cried a few times!
totally
None ever after
Minoru Kasanoke Amen Brother!
I can’t stop my self from having teary eyes while listening to the song as I remember my happy childhood in the late 70’ to early 90’s and wishing I can travel back and enjoy the simple life with my family.
Best song ever written for all human unification . Way before it’s time . Magic , genius timeless . Thank you
Beyond its time
I agree 100%
Paul Simon is absolutely the best songwriter in the music history
Yes!
Love them both! Art Garfunkle's voice is truly sublime and his pitch is impeccable. Goose Bumps.
I am thankful I lived during this era of all these fabulous singes. Great music. Love listening to this.
One of the best voices of all time. Art.💙💙
Impeccable harmonies and powerful voices even in their 70s. Pure talent
simon and garfunkle's songs carries your soul to the places long time ago where and when you heard them
Simon's face while clapping at 4:43 really shows the great respect and admiration for Art
What a pair of amazing singer
AAAmen! it took his breath away...God breathed for him through him
Despite their misunderstanding at the end of that fabulous song or just by the end of the day they still knocking friends
@@royventura2650 don't they hate each other?
@@Retroearthling yes. they hate each other like poison. LOL
@@brianbytheocean Dang even till today?
A friendship full of deep respect feels very strong.
May generations to come know the pure beauty of the harmonies of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel and the wisdom in their lyrics👍🎼, you will not hear better 🎼Si bless you both
When they start singing the last verse ("I'm sailing right behind...") I get chills.
Oh Yes...Same here
i do too.
I did as well and really never liked the song.
Ohhh yesss. Tears.
so put on a cardigan, seaman john.
Garfunkel gave my goosebumps goosebumps, still a magical talent.
Watching it now. 01-01-2024. Timeless.
More than 15million views! Beautiful music, beautiful singing
Art has an amazing voice, even at 65 - smokey and emotional.
Paul has a simple voice, but a great ear for music and inspirational songwriting.
It's a shame that the two friends from the Bronx who had lots in common and who complemented each others weakness weren't able to see themselves as an amazing partnership rather than two underappreciated individuals. Many songs that COULD HAVE been written and sung. But the for those few years together, they were giants.
I thought the great duo was both born in Queens as childhood friends.
they are like a married couple that don't get along......but they are best together.......they will always be best friends from child hood.........
Every so often there comes a song that it is so beautiful that no matter how long ago it stands the test of time and will be remembered for all time.
They were actually both English teachers in the same school and discovered they had some vocal chemistry at a camping field trip
Check out Tom and Jerry -- they were still in school then.
@@canadiandeplorable2087 they were both english teachers? I think you meant students. They were best friends since very early school days, and had their first break at 16. Paul is less than a month older than Art.
@@AA-sn9lz Thanks for clearing that up. Art was a high school math teacher though
Two of the greatest singers ever.
One of the greatest duets the world has ever seen. Love how Paul shows his appreciation at the end. After all the years of not talking, the bond was still there
At MSG that night, those last few moments Art was soloing, it almost felt as if the audience was physically uplifted, as the swell of applause mounted and crescendo’d simultaneous with Art concluding the song. I’ll never forget the communal sense of awe!
I am astounded! This performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water is like a BIG time mind blowing totally wicked display of talent
Hello Susan
In the middle of the Cronavirus emergency, this seems to be an appropriate time to listen to this song.
True. Is there any inappropriate time to listen to this tho? 🤔
here today all over the world, the bio-war has begun, the fear is fueled by power-obsessed elites. It is a dark time here in Germany too. This song gives me courage and a lot of hope and strength to build a bridge for friends who are currently very afraid. Thanks to S&G
“Middle”
I am a law professor at the Catholic University in Caracas (I am 59) when I started my first class (on line) on 27th April 2020, I told them that we were going to "cross the bridge over trouble waters" of the pandemia and the troubles we are going through in Venezuela. I am sure we will cross it
There is no panedmic or emergency... get your act together in life
this was played at my Wifes funeral on Monday this week, Not a dry eye in the Crematoriam such powerful words and an all time favourite of hers Fly high girl
they are both decent singers when singing by themselves, but man when they come together and harmonize, its flawless!!!
James, I completely agree with you. Every song they recorded together never failed to give me goosebumps and touch my soul. The 59th Street Bridge Song always plastered a big smile on my face and sparkles in my eyes. Such a light hearted and happy song.
Paul, the songwriter and artist. Art, the voice. These were the real strengths of each man individually. Together they performed songs that spoke for and to a generation.
I'm grateful that it was the generation i grew up being a part of.
january 17, 2020.. im still watching... when i see them i miss my dad who past away,,,, i really miss him so much,,
Sorry for your loss, friend... Blessings to your Family...
Hope this song gives you strength and helps you with the healing of the loss of your dad . I am sure he loved you and is looking from above .
Oh lord, thank you for this beautiful sound
They are just something else. They are the first older generation singers that can still sing it as it is. Wow, just wow
The way Paul leans back so art can do his magic completely shows what an amazing friendship they have and deep respect for each other. I get goosebumps when ever I hear them sing I swear this must be what heaven sounds like.
julie f deep respect yes but at that time their friendship was really troubled
One of the greatest songs ever written and it is still a masterpiece. Cool and lovely ❤️ Hi Julie, how are you doing?
I love this song.....plus part of it is quoted in my yearbook ......from 1970 "Sail on silver girl, sail on by...."
Hello Gail
This is a fuking performance. I guess only when u come of a certain age and musical ability can u understand the value of this performance. And also of a certain understanding in creativity and meaning of experience in life can u really grasp this performance to feel every nuance of it. These two are geniuses.
Although I'm just 17 years old, I hear their songs for most of my life because of my father, and I often come back realising how great these songs are
good for you lil' un !!
Day light, I grew up around the last of the baby boomers i know all of these lol and when i say baby boomers i mean my grandpa is 64
I wouldn't have mentioned this if you didn't try to gatekeep musical ability on the basis of age, but this performance is pretty heavily auto tuned. The discussion under another comment seems to suggest that it was added in post, but it's still there.
Don't try to pump yourself up by belittling other people when you can't even hear this clear production gaffe.
BeeElectric o
Our son died of fentanyl. He was on the street. This song is comforting.
Sending love your way
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences and sympathies. 🙏🏼💐
I'm so sorry. My son committed suicide. Jesus became my bridge over trouble waters. I'm happy you can find some peace..
😢
lol
Awesome duo. Takes me back decades to life as it used to be when I was a teenager. Love their music. Thanks so much for being.
Hello beautiful lady
Kudos to the pianist as well. Awesome
Das sind noch Musiker!
Ein Live Auftritt mit diesen Stimmen und einem Text mit Tiefgang. .....
Mir stehen die Tränen in den Augen.
Grüsse Aus Deutschland.
What can I say ? Absolutely outstanding performance from Simon and Garfunkel. Listened to this version many times. Out of this world!!!
There's not words to express just how beautiful this song is!
This song saved my life long long ago. I was so crushed and they raised me up. God Bless Them!
PS adds a new dimension to a song that I have known since 1972 and brings tears to my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, Art is an amazing singer, but imagine writing down this masterpiece, that comes from above, so thank you Paul you are a legend
The phrase is borrowed from an old gospel song if I'm not mistaken, so yeah, it does indeed come from above. Amen! To Paul and Art. May they stay forever young.
Indeed Paul is an admirable composer but I also have doubts that this piece is from him, because it is a piano master piece - not guitar. Nevertheless he deserves all our love and andmiration. Paul Simon!
Yo soy de un País que queda en el oltimo lugar del mundo se llama Chile no se si ustedes lo conocen
yo siempre los he escuchado son maravillosos aunque pasen los años ellos cantan maravillosamente me emociona su música la que me llega al corazón es El Condor Pasa ya que aquí en la Cordillera de Chile siempre vas a encontrar los Condores son maravillosos.
Don’t forget Paul Simon wrote this masterpiece.
@@margaritasanchez7139 👍
They have golden voices❤no voice break up due to age!!!
It's miracle that two more than 60 years old people can sing a song like this.
They are both in their 70's,always have been utterly amazed by their songs even as a child.
yeah you are right!!!
lin rui they were both 68 when this occured
I admired them when I was a child, and still admire them now and for sure, until I pass away. God bless them both!
For me...
Its the Song of The Century...
SIMON And GARFUNKEL ...
It brings tears in my eyes and goosebumps whenever I listen to this Song...
They are best duet Singers...
I had ever listened to ..
May they perform like this always...
And May God shower His blessings on them🙏🙏🙏
By far one of the greatet songs ever performed live.
I've watched this video time and time again. Simon and Garfunkel are the best duo ever, bar none. This song is incredible. I still get the chills every time I watch this. I feel so badly for Art Garfunkel. He still did an unbelievable job. Both of them did.
This is probably my favorite version of the song live.
Check out the version from the Central Park concert.
gsdsteve
Agreed. Paul has no business singing in that song. That is a Garfunkel solo masterpiece (ala Central Park). Paul should sit down and shaddup
Jim L Paul wrote this song.
Shithawk Maximus
ok and???? A lot of songwriters don't sing the songs they wrote or shouldn't... can you say Bob Dylan... great writer... horrendous singer
***** Actually I kind of like his verse. His voice hasn't seemed to have lost as much as Art's.
Timeless beauty of these songs. They are still beautiful together. I agree Art Garfunkel has been under rated, both are so talented
Oh what a brilliant song, been listening for decedes and I'm 67
Without question one of the greatest songs of all time. But what's extra special about this is that it strikes me as their finest rendition of this song ever. All the talk of the distance between these who artists, bridged again with this performance. That final sequence is so moving as Paul steps back and lets Art, once again, take the song home. But on watching it again now I noticed, for the first time, that he pats Art on the back as though wordlessly saying 'go ahead, sing it, my old friend' (the old friend who he knew from first writing it would send it wonderfully). Then Art does just that... awesome performance all round.
The best duet of all time.💗
Hello Christinna
It was awesome seeing Paul sing the second verse and chorus. I always loved his vocal ability and hearing his take on the song he wrote just brings me so much joy. Art Garfunkel also destroyed this but that goes without saying. That dude’s haunting vocals miraculously haven’t changed since the sixties. The two of them are just amazing
They take me back to my youth, to the good ole days. Thank you, Gentleman.❤❤❤
