Album Notes
When Simon & Garfunkel went out on the road in November of 1969 on what would be their last tour together for 13 years, the duo's popularity rivaled that of the Beatles. They embarked on the tour soon after completing Bridge Over Troubled Water, the album that would be their crowning glory and biggest seller. Bridge woudln't be released until January 21, 1970, so their sets contained several songs from that album that the fans who packed their shows would be hearing for the first time.
Several shows on the '69 tour were recorded in anticipation of what was earmarked to be their sixth album, the follow-up to Bridge. That live LP never came to be (until now, that is); in fact, there was no follow-up of any kind, mainly because Simon and Garfunkel were in the final months of their partnership.
Interestingly, the 17 previously unreleased performances contained on Live 1969 bear no trace of the acrimony that was thought to have accrued as they neared their breakup; all that can be sensed is the comfortable vibe of buddies enjoying the familiar task of working together.
