Simon & Garfunkel
Sydney - Australia
The Arena at
23d of June 2009
Churchaudio Cardioid Mic System (CA11s) > Edirol R09HR
The last of 3 Sydney shows, unlike at the first show, the big video screen behind the band was
fully functional throughout the show. Apparently, only this show featured the joyous encore
"The 59th Street Bridge Song", with the "didgeribone" intermezzo.
Recorded from the back of the hall, considering that, the sound is excellent.
Both the composition of the band and Paul Simon's solo section hold strong clues about Paul Simon
building up to the 25th Anniversary Tour of Graceland.
