Simon & Garfunkel (some Pino)
The Simon & Garfunkel show in Cleveland last night was excellent. Pino
was there on bass. He sat on a stool in the back for most of the show.
As usual, I could barely make out his bass notes in the overall sound.
Just a low, bassy vibration at times. Oh well, at least Paul Simon's
acoustic guitar was nice & loud in the mix. That & the duo's voices
are the most important things, IMO.
And yes, the legendary Everly Brothers played a mini-set in the middle
of the show! The fucking Everly Brothers! How great is that? In one
fell swoop I saw two of the most famous duos in rock history! Brilliant!
S&G's voices have aged. They sing in lower registers now to avoid break-
ing on the high notes. But, regardless, they still sounded fabulous.
Paul Simon is a great acoustic guitar player. They seemed to be having
a good time.
When Pino was introduced, I couldn't help but give a loud "Who!" yell.
And of course I wore a Who shirt to the show. ;-)
Anyway, if you have the chance to see these guys - do it. It's well worth
it to see these two legendary men. Plus the f-ing Everly Brothers! Too
much....
