ART GARFUNKEL : ARTPARK IN NEW YORK |
|
Label : Project Zip Venue : Artpark Mainstage, Lewiston, New York, USA Recording Date : August 29, 1994 Length : 73:50 Quality : ALD Mono Soundboard recording (A+) Review : Artpark In New York documents Art Garfunkel's appearance at the Artpark Mainstage in Lewiston, New York on August 29, 1994, a scenic outdoor amphitheatre along the Niagara River that suits his gentle, orchestral sound perfectly. The 18-song set leans heavily on the Simon & Garfunkel songbook, with "Homeward Bound," "Cecilia," "Mrs. Robinson," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "The 59th Street Bridge Song" and closer "The Sound Of Silence" reminding the crowd why that partnership remains so beloved decades on. Garfunkel also digs into his solo catalogue and favorite covers, pairing "Kathy's Song," "All I Know" and "Skywriter" with warm renditions of "Wonderful World," "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "The Water Is Wide," showcasing the purity of his tenor across a wide range of material. Although a mono recording, this ALD/Soundboard recording captures that voice in excellent detail, with none of the crowd noise or ambient hiss that mars typical audience tapes, making it a favorite among fans looking for a clean, intimate document of Garfunkel on stage during the mid-1990s. Line-up : Eric Weissberg on guitar, Richie "Gajate" Garcia on drums, David Figland on synthesizer and Craig Doerge on keyboard. |
