Did anyone else go to see this? I went to the Hyde Park one and my god was it awesome. One of the best concerts I've ever been to, and I dont usually like mass concerts like this. I tried to get tickets for the Manchester performance, but couldnt, but I reckon the Hyde Park one was actually better. Does anyone know if the Old Friends album is from one of the live concerts or if it's a Studio recording?

Who!?

Is this one of those obscure Manchester bands that nobody but hardened music fans admire? 'Cos I divn't kna them, like.

yah never heard of them

:S

Sorry Old Friends was the name of the concert, the legendary Simon and Garfunkel.

my mum likes them..... :|

well she also likes Artful Dodger so she's not too bad. But S&G seem a bit... old.

Cash is so old he's deceased (RIP).

And the covers were grand.

And the covers were grand. Yeah, cant argue with that. I'm by no means a fan of country music, I cant stand Willie Nelson, but Johnny Cash and Chuck Berry still really appeal to me.

Simon and Garfunkel kick ass, everyone says they dont like them but its impossible to not like them, i used to listen to them when i was a little kid

i love Simon and Garfunkel.


When i was in high school, 2 of my friends and I had performed "The sound of silence" during a singing contest. (we finished 2nd (H) )


I have their greatest hits CDs and my mom has some old tapes as well i think...

I really got into them from that point, then just a few months ago on my high school leavers day, I performed Cecilia and Mrs Robinson to the rest of the year with some of my mates. My dad then took me to the Old Friends concert at Hyde Park, an awesome event, and they are now one of my fav bands.
