Simon & Garfunkel - 1983-08-22 - Vancouver, BC (SBD)

Simon & Garfunkel were invited to play Woodstock, but declined because they were working on their new album. That disc, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, released in January 1970, would be both their masterpiece and their swan song, as the duo broke up later that year. While they would have several reunion tours, they would never again release a studio disc. 

One of thise reunion tour took place in 1983, some 14 years after Woodstock and 13 years after the duo broke up.  In 1981, Simon & Garfunkel reunited for a single concert, held in New York's Central Park, in front of an estimated crowd of over 500,000.  The success of that show, and the subsequent TV special and album, prompted the two to launch a world tour in 1982 that ran into the following year. They even began recording an album together, however, creative differences caused another split between them. Simon eventually removed all of Garfunkel's vocals from the recorded tracks, reworked the songs and released the album as a solo disc called Hearts and Bones.  Needless to say, that decision kept the 2 apart for almost another decade. This soundboard recording captures the duo before that split, in Vancouver on August 22, 1983, 41 years ago today
