Simon & Garfunkel

In this captivating live recording from November 30, 1966, Simon & Garfunkel deliver a haunting performance of "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" at the Granada Theatre. Leading up to this moment, the duo had released their landmark album "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" in late 1966, which really showcased their signature harmonies and intricate songwriting. This album marked a pivotal point in their career as they began to explore deeper themes and more complex arrangements, elevating their music from folk roots to a more innovative sound. Interestingly, this live performance caught them at a time when they'd already achieved significant popularity, yet they still maintained an intimate vibe, connecting deeply with their audience. It’s fascinating to think about how this moment captured their artistic evolution right before they released the iconic "Bookends" album a year later.
