"Bridge Over Troubled Water" performed by Simon & Garfunkel in December 2003 in Madison Square Garden, New York during the "Old friends: Live On Stage" tour.------------------------- ---------------MY OPINION IN THE PAUL SIMON-DEBATE BELOWThere's a lot of arguing going on about whether Paul Simon did or didn't "ruin" the song in this clip. I say, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel make an excellent duo. They started out as a duo, succeeded as a duo and will be remembered as the great duo they are.Obviously, there are two part of this duo, both contributing to this (and many other) masterpiece(s) in their own way. Sure, Paul tried to do something different with the song this time, which some may find irritating, but without him this song wouldn't even exist, and neither would this duo.Whether Paul ruined this song or not is a matter of opinion. I think of it like this; his way of performing this song this time is his way to interpret it, and after all, since he wrote the song, he knows it better than anyone else. Art did a wonderful job singing this, both in studio, in this clip, and every other time he has sung it, and he sure deserves cred for that as well as Paul deserves cred for writing it and, principally, creating the magic behind it.But after all; why complain? Even if you dislike the way Paul sings the song this time, I think you would find it very hard to honestly say that the song is ruined, or anywhere near that.So; why waste your time on complaining when you might as well accept this version and enjoy it?(I apologize for eventual language errors since English isn't my first language. Feel free to correct me if anything is written incorrectly)

to BANDITRON - With regard to the career only of Paul Simon I think that is a great songwriter but mistaken when that does not recognize the importance of collaboration with Garfunkel.Right, is spent a long time since 1970... but the classics remain live and important, as works of art.

Oooppps! Sorry... made a mistake on my first comment-- I said Al's insted of Art's. I replayed back the video and I think that I really like it too as much as I liked the other on the 1981 concert sang by Art. Paul's voice too is still as sweet and beautiful. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are definitely a legendary duo artists of our generation.

Considering that they were already much older since they first sang this song in the 60s, I think that this new version is still great. Good old Al's voice never lost it's magic. I still consider this a perfect 10. Excellent!
