Paul Simon

In February 1966, Paul Simon, as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, was riding high on the success of their breakout album 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme,' released just a few months prior in October 1966. This live performance captured at the University College in Toronto showcased the duo's incredible chemistry and harmonies, reflecting the momentum they had built with hit songs like 'The Boxer' and 'Scarborough Fair/Canticle.' Interestingly, during this period, Simon was also becoming increasingly recognized for his songwriting prowess, blending folk and rock in a way that resonated deeply with audiences. Their setlist for this occasion was likely filled with both energetic and reflective pieces, marking a pivotal moment in their career just as they were beginning to capture the broader cultural landscape of the 1960s.
