Thanks for watching my video. I just posted a video I shot of Paul Simon playing the same song a few months later (August 2019): th-cam.com/video/_mRZInfUi6M/w-d-xo.html . Note that Simon does the song with a 15-piece band, so it's a very different experience from this intimate version by Garfunkel. And to see the 7 other videos I shot at this Art Garfunkel concert, please see th-cam.com/play/PLwdc0qZNx0tbECxpc5BQaJsKNuJvN7LFh.html . Enjoy!
Shortly after I saw old friends in concert in 2004, Artie did a solo performance at the Myerson Symphony Center in Dallas... And I missed it! I'll always regret that.
Paul Simon is magnificent.. he certainly knows how to put a band together... and he doesn't waffle.. saw him live in Manchester Arena and he was spectacular
I don’t think there could ever be a person who could not appreciate the music of Simon and Garfunkel. It just touches the soul and makes you feel. Respect.
When he sings, the croak of old age that has crept into his speaking voice melts away. He doesn't have the power of his younger self, but the same vocal sweetness still rings. All these years, and it's still beautiful.
The different is that he has still the vocal voice as years ago. If you compare with todays singers where you cant connect the voice and song after 2 years..
It makes me soooo sad, to see how we all HAVE TO become older. I loved Art and Paul in my youth and still do. So many many years past. I wish I could scroll back these times full of passion and hope.
I feel the same way. I look at these old men and know life has moved forward. I just know them young and cannot accept they are old now. Its like a time warp.
@@annettesouthwell1726 every now and again i see singers from my younger days and i think to myself is that really them ? Boy do they look different now, completely forgetting I'm getting older myself aswell. It's the same as art doing this song, not the Same voice but a beautiful song from heaven nevertheless. Where does time go? Oct 2021 🙏❤🇬🇧🙏🙄🙄
I’m sorry but did you hear how he did the song? Not even a complete version of it. He sounds like he gets out of breath so he has to shorten the songs. He could never keep up with Paul Simon’s strong, clear, uncompromised voice now. Those damn cigarettes ruined everything!
Oh give it a break! Let’s be real here. They are 79 years old! They are both too old now for the kind of tours they used to do. I do wish they would do just one last get-together to reconcile once and for all before they die, but I don’t believe Paul would go for it. He retired 2, almost 3 years ago now and I don’t think he wants to go touring anymore.
Kudos to you, my friend. I'm 84 years old so i remember you always. You have the sweetest voice. You made the duo because you could really harmonize and singing without Simon you still sound great. I can just close my eyes and go back to the 60s the best era. ❤
Simon & Garfankel , In 1982 I emigrated to the states (NJ) from my native Peru.and I liked there music very much and I used to practice my English singing these music. I still listen this great musicians.!!! God Bless them!!! 🤓
Heartbreaking to think that one day that angelic voice will be silenced forever. I try not to think about it too much but in moments like this it hits you.
These are my people. I am.69 now, the day Art Garfunkel passes away will be very difficult for me. I have watched and listened to him every step of the way. Love this man❤🙏❤🙏
It was back then 1972,when i was 12 listened this timeless song but till now 62 still litsen it to fill up my soul with this beatiful song...thanks Atie & Simon for tis masterpiece.
I heard Arthur sing this when he, Paul, and their terrific band played the Central Park Concert in 1981. The best show I ever attended, and the biggest crowd too!
That concert and the video from it is excellent. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have it. And it contains a lively version of "Late In The Evening" - the brass on it was great too.
"...Art sounds just as beautiful as the first time he sung it....". Oh come on ! I'm a big Simon & Garfunkel fan, but get real, he's nothing like he was. Which is sad of course. But we have to acknowledge the passing of time degrades us. No use pretending otherwise. It happens to us all in varying degrees.
Bravo Monsieur Art Garfunkel, je suis un admirateur Français et j'adore vos chansons avec Paul Simon ou sans lui, mais je suis très heureux de vous voir dans cette vidéo de 2019 car j'ai toujours aimé depuis mon enfance entendre Art Garfunkel chanter. Merci pour vos chef-d’œuvres et, vous restez pour moi, avec Paul Simon, le plus grand groupe des années 60!!! Je vous écoute très souvent. Merci pour tout le bonheur que je reçois en vous écoutant!!! Longue vie à vous et à vos proches..........
Brilliant Love this performance We all want to live long but don't want to grow old I been watching La bamba and watching this video makes me reflect on the life of Ritchie Valens Life and time is so precious and unfortunately short lived even if you live to 100 it still is short lived Thank you for sharing this video I truly appreciate it greatly God bless
I define a Legend by staying power and tolerance for risk. For Art to be still out there trodding the boards after 50 years is amazing. Takes courage and love. Shame on the detractors!
@@jadezee6316 how nice of you to be a complete jackass….it’s his opinion, like the saying goes it’s like an asshole, everyone has one, including this comment sectionl
This is a totally awesome performance -- he took good care of his voice and it shows. Gonna send this to my senior citizen uncle who want to start back singing at 65.
Dear Art (and Simon). I was born in 1967 and wasn´t ever made for this pop-culture. But I love your songs full of love. What can I say, I thank you! And I´m still here. Thank you!
Thank you for being a reason I signed up for chorus and fell in love with music and harmony. Your voice is a tender hug to the soul. One of the best Ever
I always feel so much better when I read the comments on my favourite Artists and their Music such a Beautiful, (Peaceful feeling ...until the adverts 🥴 I can’t afford subscription ...I don’t use it that much...I use Facebook as so much going on atm, so many people arguing on Facebook...with good reason though that’s the trouble isn’t it. Sending Good Wishes 😁❤️👨👩👧👦❤️🌻☘️🦋
Great if that "Old" and still show what music is. And still perfect. You like me who are "unfortunately" getting older .. At that time played in front of an audience of millions. Today, even at 80, great presence. I grew up in the 60s, having an absolutely great time with great music
Age turns people into monsters but when they have the emotion of life inside them, they become beautiful as if time as passed aside them and they become childs forever. Art is one of them!
I am blessed to have been born and lived through those/these times! To have these dudes living at the same time as me. All the greats of music, S & G, P Mccartney, Beatles, rolling stones, Everlys, Elvis, and you know all the rest of them! We have lived though a great time of music haven't we? But sadly they disappear,.... there is someone leaving us every year. The Songwriters and singers that made us happy as we were listening to our favourite songs on the radio while sitting in our bedrooms. And we see these people get old and grey..... and then we look over our shoulder at the mirror, realise that we too, have grown old and grey with them. The music has remained exactly the same.....but we haven't. When we are all gone, and all those singers im talking about, the next generation will not understand what that different type of music did for us way back when we were teenagers.
Ya know, when it comes to Rock & Roll, The Who have always been my favorite band. But when it comes to true Americana-Folk-Rock, there's no one that beats Artie Garfunkel & Paul Simon. Thanks for posting this video...
Sad about art and Paul but sometimes people can't get along but these songs are masterpiece I would put them up on the top shelf with any of the greatest music of our lives
This is a guy who actually has a sense of humor AND a personality in one . Followed Arts singing for years and he`s still going. Marvelous. Respect for the Guy .
dear Tim , this record is very valuable. shows that real musicians never lose their love of music inspiration. For the real musician, music is the oxygen he needs to live. many many thanks
Big falling out or three between those two. It would take a miracle to get them in the same room. Truly sad. I had wished to see them do "Old Friends"...as old friends. When one of them takes leave of this earth, I have a feeling the other will regret the lost time very, very deeply.
Hi Tim thank you so much for your channel im a fan of Paul and Art ilove to watch your vlog in this time of Quarantine all over the World and this is a time to watch your channel thank you God bless Tim
Honestly , I’m a Hard Rock/Metal/technical guitar fan , and I always lambasted Simon And Garfunkel, but this gives a new found respect for them/him and especially this song - which , standing alone , is a brilliant, very emotive and emotional song
This song is just so special to me because this was my grandpa favorite song when he was younger and he passed away September last year and this was the song at his funeral.
Paul Simon said when he wrote Bridge over Troubled Waters.. he said” I knew immediately this was going to be a sin for Artie”. .. “ For his voice will make this song sound better than I could by accompanying him- I wanted him dot do without me “ In the interview with Alex Baldwin. 🌟🧡🌟
Nao acredito que esse e outros sucessos ainda tocam os nossos coracoes, musica boa nunca some, apenas deixamos ela de lado e quando bate a saudade nos retornamos onde a deixamos!
Will always love them, Simon n Garfunkel were the calm in the storm of my teen years! Such God given talent, I pray they know that came from the Lord and not by their own power!!! SO BLESSED!
Neither Paul Simon nor Art Garfunkel can sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as they did in 1970 but when you have a fantastic lyrically & musically written song, you can change it to fit your vocal range. I really like how both of them have changed the arrangement for this song. Bravo Gentlemen, Bravo.

here here!
Yes! It's like a less powerful, but richer sound.
The different is that he has still the vocal voice as years ago. If you compare with todays singers where you cant connect the voice and song after 2 years..
It's still surprisingly smooth.
I was friends with his son James. And I got to meet art in Vegas. What a wonderful human being.
Lucky you
His voice never gets old. Oh god i love this man
It makes me soooo sad, to see how we all HAVE TO become older. I loved Art and Paul in my youth and still do. So many many years past. I wish I could scroll back these times full of passion and hope.

It’s not the getting older that’s worrisome
It’s the being old that worries me
So glad we got to love in times likes those. Almost polar opposite of today.

He is a genuine artist. Always and always Garfunkel, never changed. Congratulations.
I always admired Paul Simon's masterful songwriting. But Garfunkel's voice... damn, incomparable.
I am almost your age, but your voice and this song saved my live from suicide. Thank you.
I hope you are doing well Hildegard.. I'm sure glad you are still here with us... Take care, Best regards.....
May God Bless You, Hildegard!
When this song first came out, my dad died. This song gave me great confert.
When I hear it, I always
think of him.
Thank you so much !!!

Hildegard Bellmann... me too x
How do you know how old I am??
This is why I love Art Garfunkel. Oh my God, I love you.
Over and over,the song touches,lifts and warms like a fire on the beach making smores&resting your soul.❤
49 years after the release of the song, Art sounds just as beautiful as the first time he sung it.
I agree. He is still the best.
"...Art sounds just as beautiful as the first time he sung it....".

Oh yes he does sound as pure and as beautiful as in the original recording.

Life and time is so precious and unfortunately short lived even if you live to 100 it still is short lived
Thank you for sharing this video
I truly appreciate it greatly
God bless
Art is one of the good guys. Friendly and so talented. Great job Art!
Thank you Mr. Art Garfunkel, for the this song that you made for us THIS SONG WILL PLAY IN THE AIR FOREVER!!!. from Philippines/Ireland
You should be thanking Paul Simon for the song. He WROTE it.
Sooo great to see Art still singing!
I define a Legend by staying power and tolerance for risk. For Art to be still out there trodding the boards after 50 years is amazing. Takes courage and love. Shame on the detractors!
how nice of you to decide that ONLY YOU get to decide what a legend is...and people who disagree with you should be shamed...

You are totally right, Jade!!
Dang! Now that song is going to be stuck in my head for at least a day. It is one of my all-time favorites.
a voice that brings me back, no matter the time passing by. Lovely Art Garfunkel performance!
This is what they call a broken voice? It's beautiful! I hope this song will never be forgotten, such a beautiful song.
It won’t ever be forgotten
He’s absolutely amazing. His music saved me from a dark dark path. I will always be grateful to him.
This is a totally awesome performance -- he took good care of his voice and it shows. Gonna send this to my senior citizen uncle who want to start back singing at 65.

One of my favorite songs of all time. It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Keep blessing us with your singing Art, you are very loved in England.
The great Art with the greatest song ever, well played indeed sir...
Amazing job for someone who back in 2010 suffered from vocal troubles glad he made it back singing! 🙂
Mr Garfunkel maybe old but he still can sing me a lullaby. So beautiful.
This is just beautiful love his angelic voice stunning 💙💙💙💙
When it's your song it's your song. No matter your age or vocal abilities, you will still be able to capture the essence of it. :)
Paul Simon wrote this song.
Thank you for being a reason I signed up for chorus and fell in love with music and harmony. Your voice is a tender hug to the soul. One of the best Ever
I'm so glad you exit at our generation. What a wonderful age. We adore you.
Art you are getting better with Bridge! The beginning is really good! You always had a great sense of humor about Paul! Love to you!
Eh? How can this only have had 6.2k views? It is brilliant, and I'm so glad that Arts voice is still recognisably his.
Paul Simon was what made Simon &Garfunkel
Paul and Art's excellent collaboration was what really made Simon and Garfunkel a great success as a duo.

Love you Art. I've been with you and Paul, since -68...
Gotta say he still sounds way better then i thought he would Artie and Paul are timeless

definitely fall asleep and go back in childhood's memories when i listen to paul and Garfunkel
WOW after 5 years he brought the song back to its high notes 😮

My favorite song, I will always sing this everytime I get a chance
When I was 14 years old, that was my song. That was so many years ago...50 to be exact...but that song still moves me.
He still has it! ... I had my doubts ... but he still has it! Is it 100% the same? No, but I have to give him MAJOR PROPS!! I love him! 💕💕
