The crowd singing the lie la lie. I would sell my soul to see them singing live but I missed any opportunity. This is my favourite song of all time. Legendary
Central park for me.. don't hate this but is there autotune or just some weird delay or reverb FX on Garfunkel's mic... or he is floating over the bars as though he wants a slightly slower pace... not sure if I dislike it though... bit distracting maybe
There will never be a better duo than these two. The were incredible and I am so lucky to have listened to their music. Wish I could have seen them live.
I got to see them live when they were starting out. After the show we and went backstage and spent a good ten minutes talking to Paul Simon about guitars and his music.
Thank you Art for the beautiful music. I am 74 yo and in my fading years you bring back so much lovely memories with your haunting music. After ' The Graduate' I followed you til now.
The fact of the matter in my opinion is that this is probably their best rendition ever of this song. It's so full of surprises and novelties. The band behind them is excellent. Everything comes together is this pure en lyrical performance. It makes me melt and cry of happiness.
@@ryanmccloskey4292 Im not sure if you are tone deaf or what? It is obvious if someone holds a perfect flat note with no human vibrations that they are using auto tune. They used it for years.
What is power? Power is getting 20000 people to sing with you because they love you. Not because they think you will change the world, or change their future, but simply because they want to.
How can one 5 minute performance have so much brilliance? I don't want to pick out just one moment, but from 4:00 onwards is as ethereal, mesmerizing, exquisite live performance as one will ever hear.....
I repeatedly play this version. They aged like a fine wine. Sounding better than ever. Their voices sound like life's experiences put to music. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
These guys were, are and always will be my favourite. I am 54 years old and I have loved them all my life. This my friends is MUSIC.....The kind that gives you goosebumps and brings you to tears. LOVE THEM!!!!!!
Was there ever a better duo? A beautiful song. One of a hundred. Beautiful voices. Two of a million. We had music. We had them. Lord only knows what has become of music, or whatever that monstrosity you call it now.
My mom turned me onto Simon&Garfunkel many years ago. She passed in 2010..I am now 47. My high school years I was listening to this in the 90s on a record player in my bedroom andsharing ..or making!! my friends listen to these amazing artists. Listenn tday on Mothers Day and just wow..they are sooo good..touches the soul and bring a smile and tears ❤
Arties voice is just so amazing, even that he’s older now it’s like it’s gotten even more so unique and still so good, he was certainly blessed with the voice gift that’s for sure
This brings back so many happy and sad memories for me, my brother and my two older sisters. Our father+ was a great fan of Simon and Garfunkel. I came from a very musical family. We kids use to sing songs like these when we and mam were doing the dishes in the kitchen. Our father+ played several instruments but always said he couldn’t sing. But while were were singing in the kitchen we heard soft his voice coming from the living room, doing a second vocal on every song. Hearing Simon & Garfunkel makes me long back to those moments. :’(
I was moved to tears immediately as they began to sing, as their voices meld together like chocolate blending into milk for a treat that's better than each. Just the idea that these two men were able to put any differences aside to participate in the ceremony of performing an anthem created decades ago and performed hundreds of times prior to this culmination of sorts. And for so many in the audience's watchful, eager eyes - it's all the more gratifying to hear the many thousands join in the simple haunting chorus of "lie la lie." And next, the duo - well-seasoned like an iron skillet cooking up a hearty dish - hitting the heights of the song with all their breath. Gosh this is beautiful and worth every penny of the high ransom the front rows must have paid for the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing these American heroes practice their craft on stage live. 🥹
Art's voice. Every time, Art's voice. I discovered this song when I was 21 and at university. I'm 27 now and this version gives me chills every single time. One of the greatest examples of songwriting I think there is.
Im from belfast followed these guys all my life and had the pleasure of seeing them few years ago down in dublin and was a privilege to be there. Know they have had their differences but they are just sooooo great together!!
These guys were into their seventies at this performance and still gave a kick-ass show. The pan out to the entire audience singing the refrain is a testament to their legacy.
absolutely right John . there is a kind of magic in those notes , love that you captured those and got me to listen to it again at those two parts . Magic .
The Boxer, my mother was a great fan of Simon and Garfunkel, until she died before christmas 2016 on the age at 68 years old. I have her vinyl record of "Bridge of troubled water" from Simon and Garfunkel and I cried when I heard this song.
I saw them live in 2003. When they sang this song, it was nothing short of a religious experience. The whole place had hands raised and singing la la la.
Beautiful, amazing song writing and singing yes! The years are rolling by me and I am older than I have been and younger than I’ll be however they seem to have missed a verse. Paul covers for Arts amazing intellectual musical orchestra compositions when Art forgets where he is in a song. God bless them both for creating such wonderful music and life lessons!
Listening to the character describe his lonely life,trying to reach for success & reflecting on it being so far out of reach. Feeling the pain and challenges he’s navigated through remain in his mind but no longer define him. leaving those memories behind, opting to move forward towards a new day. Sad but beautiful.
My family and I grew up listening to their songs together in the 60's and 70's. This is BY FAR their BEST song EVER! My brother & I used to sing it along with them whenever we heard it even on the album. Best song-best vocal duo ever!
I saw Paul Simon in concert in Australia earlier this year and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. He is a true genius. There will never be the likes of this duo again I believe.
I was on the ground to greet their first iteration of this song, and after the ages, THIS is my favorite version. THIS concert pretty much my favorite version of most of their catalog. Thank you God, for the opportunity to come back to this and re-listen at leisure. Not to say their early stuff is "throw-away". Back when it was raw, honest, and fresh. Wish these two well, and thank all involved for their contribution to my life.
At 20 years young this is what I was listening to covering many many miles in my car whilst starting out in life from work to work and back home to my mom and dad .. Then my first real love came along and low and behold she had also been listening to this as well ???? She is still my wife and thank god she is !!!!!!!!!!!
I admire him for being one of those few, whom, from the respect for his work and the ears of his public accepts the use of auto-tune and admits it publicly :)
Seems like they were born to sing together. Thank God they found each other.
No matter what you think of either of them, they were at their best when singing together.
Obviously you didnt hear paul simons solo work...
Couldn't agree more. Still nailing it better than any of you lot could
Absolutely!!
Simon and Garfunkel were better together imo and i have listened to his solo work.
@@michaelkoller633 I did, and think Paul was great, but the best was the two of them.
The crowd singing the lie la lie. I would sell my soul to see them singing live but I missed any opportunity. This is my favourite song of all time. Legendary
So what you are sayin is.... the crowd... is a lie?????? 😲
At 3:38 when they sing "I am leaving, I am leaving" Art Garfunkel's harmony sends shivers up my spine - absolutely beautiful.
same, that was real
(9 years old comment but still true!)
Same, nowadays :)
@@miguelferreira3303 still :)
Yes, wonderful. Played it a few times :)
Sintonia perfeita..não tem como não emocionar com o sincronismo das vozeeees
there will be just a few duos remebered in the last 100 years, simon & garfunkel will be among them
and the everly brothers..
yes them
and some others as wel
manny others...:-}
Mike, even forever...
How about Tom & Jerry? ☺
I truly believe there will never be another voice that can compare to Art Garfunkel
this maybe there best version
I think the version at Concert in Central Park is the best
I think so too
yeah man he aknowledges for the Ladies on 7th Avenue !
The best
Central park for me.. don't hate this but is there autotune or just some weird delay or reverb FX on Garfunkel's mic... or he is floating over the bars as though he wants a slightly slower pace... not sure if I dislike it though... bit distracting maybe

holy shit, these two belong together, they're just perfect

Thank you Art for the beautiful music. I am 74 yo and in my fading years you bring back so much lovely memories with your haunting music. After ' The Graduate' I followed you til now.
We live on!
Art Garfunkel is the king of two part harmony
Nenad Blazin they two kings 😭

Full of autotune. Ah yes best rendition ever
@@tiseII Gosh, you're right

same here, gets to me everytime. legends
Markus Michaelsen Goose Skin😀 in Germany we call it "Gänsehaut"
Markus Michaelsen totally, absolutely incredible!!
Tell me
@@_Varg_Vikernes_ bealfull
If you don't get goosebumps at "I am leaving, I am leaving...", then something is seriously wrong with you.
It really is a magical moment, the harmonies work even better here than they do on the studio version, I'd say.
Possibly the best falsetto I have ever heard.
tugs at the heart strings . these guys are magic just pure magic .
the best line in the song . so evocative , just beautiful .
Beautiful yes.. shame it was auto tuned ☹️
Todays music listeners don't have a clue...............this stuff is gold and will last forever!!!
❤❤
Some things just get better with age!!
Like French wine.....
Like wine and this duo!
Whenever I listen chorus "lie-la-lie" sung by audience, I feel like something warm begins to flow in my mind.
I think this is the best rendition of The Boxer.
the way Art casually crosses his arms whilst he is singing - making it look as easy as : )
I repeatedly play this version. They aged like a fine wine. Sounding better than ever. Their voices sound like life's experiences put to music. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Well Art has a healthy dose of pitch correction on his mic. I wish they just let his natural weathered voice ring out.
There can't be anyone better than these both uncles 😊
These guys were, are and always will be my favourite. I am 54 years old and I have loved them all my life. This my friends is MUSIC.....The kind that gives you goosebumps and brings you to tears. LOVE THEM!!!!!!
These guys
Will play at the gates of Heaven0
They definitely don't make music like this anymore and likely won't. The stuff of today is not music.....it's noise!
Garfunkel is having so much fun on this interpretation! is like ''if grandpa is happy, im happy :') ''
Their music is inside me since I was eighteen... and now I am 65..what sweet memories
Was there ever a better duo? A beautiful song. One of a hundred. Beautiful voices. Two of a million. We had music. We had them. Lord only knows what has become of music, or whatever that monstrosity you call it now.
Best duo in pop history
I love them so much. Who can resist singing along with them.
That guitar solo is incredible so short but spine tingling
Simon & Garfunkel.... they were born for each other.... togethere they made something perfect.... they made perfect music.
does anyone else think that art's voice though amazing when young, now has a unique sound that really compliments all the old material
Music just doesn't get better than this. The best performance i've ever seen. Unbelievable. Tears in my eyes.. every time. So beautiful.
Always and forever the best duo ❤❤

I absolutely agree with you❤❤

No auto tune here, just honest talent.
Arties voice is just so amazing, even that he’s older now it’s like it’s gotten even more so unique and still so good, he was certainly blessed with the voice gift that’s for sure
I'm 19 and from Holland. This is what i think all songs should be like. I can listen hundred times to this song, it's never getting boring. Awesome!
This is the best version of this song.
Garfunkel gave the performance of his life and Simon is always supreme.
the way they both come in to the intro line - pure magic
This brings back so many happy and sad memories for me, my brother and my two older sisters. Our father+ was a great fan of Simon and Garfunkel. I came from a very musical family.

How many times I've watched this. Thank you and I'm 67
Greatest Songwriter in Music. Paul. Art #1 Vocalist!!!❤
Art has the most incredible voice for harmony. He lifts the song to another level that is far above what it would be.
These guys were into their seventies at this performance and still gave a kick-ass show. The pan out to the entire audience singing the refrain is a testament to their legacy.
68, but close enough and point well taken.
❤❤❤
I'm a 52 year old boy from England and it makes me feel 15.
내나이 금년 57세인데 내가 초등학교 6학년때 처음 사엔가 노래를 들었으니 이분들이 지금 70대라 세월에 유수를 느끼게 하네
Arts voice is so clear an beautiful at this age. Amazing.
That moment at 4:10 gives me goosebumps. Beautiful rendition.
True
3:37 and 4:10 best part super!
absolutely right John . there is a kind of magic in those notes , love that you captured those and got me to listen to it again at those two parts . Magic .
Magical and Spiritual. Unbelievably moving.

I still remember going to their concert in Central Park. Some of us were sitting in trees listening to them!
Its 2020 and who's still here to see these two legend 🙌🙌??Best duo I've ever heard even when they're old..
the way those two harmonised they made beautiful music together. wonderful thanks for the share

Lo mejor de los dúos.
Y la música.
Yes, I prefer the version with the extra verse to the shortened edit.

Feeling the pain and challenges he’s navigated through remain in his mind but no longer define him. leaving those memories behind, opting to move forward towards a new day. Sad but beautiful.
Is there anything more beautiful? Thank you Simon for your songs, and thank you Art for your voice.

they are like two fine wines, theyve aged perfectly.....they both played a huge part in my youth with their music and for that i thank them xxx
Art Garfunkel folding his hands is legendary
I absolutely love the crowd singing along, "lie la-lie..." it's beautiful. I'm 14 and this is probably my favorite song ever.
Garfunkel is still rocking it
Yes yes and yes to all the positive comments. Simon's verses and masterful guitar; and the angelic voice of Garfunkle. Makes God believable
Imho this is the single best song ever written. Not even the beatles have ever written anything as touching as this.
A song for eternity, about fifty years old - but still one of the best songs ever made.
I saw Paul Simon in concert in Australia earlier this year and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. He is a true genius. There will never be the likes of this duo again I believe.
Without a doubt, their harmony can't be matched.
This particular arrangement, the sound quality, the vocal nuances… outstanding.
One of the finest songs ever written and sung by two of tje greatest musicians ever to live. Simply astonishing and moving. Wonderful
reminds of the day I left my home and family to serve my country and have never looked back
I have just witnessed perfection
When someone says music perfection, this is it
この年齢になっても、また一段とハモりのクオリティーがアップしている・・・
素晴らしすぎる！！（涙）
This seriously made me cry. Although they started wayyyyyyy before my time they still touch my heart! :')
Art Garfunkel is the best of the best. His voice, his personality plus he is handsome. 💓
I did not recognize this. His voice is shot and he has become an old bald curmudgeon begrudging Simon’s solo career.
Schon in meiner Jugend habe ich die Lieder von S&G gehört! Nun, 30 Jahre später ist’s immer noch so. Danke für die einzigartigen Lieder 👌!
The most impressive act of this entire show!!! Sounding better than EVER!!!
They harmonise so well.
