Azzy,
Some of the video footage they played was scenes from "The Graduate" and, of course, they sang "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson."
Their voices are still great. I was a bit alarmed at the first two numbers, because it seemed Paul Simon no longer had it (Art was prime!). Paul's range is a bit reduced, but he compensates by changing the low notes. After he got warmed up a bit more (wonder how hard the Sat. PM show was on their voices?), he sounded more like his old self. Hey, these guys are pushing 60!
Ray,
It's funny that you should mention both Cecilia and The Only Living Boy in New York in the same post. They sang both of them as an encore duo.
NWS and mortons68,
I paid through the nose for seats, too. Criminal, actually. But when my husband phoned me from out of town and told him that a supplier had offered him seats on the floor in the 23rd row (and that he should throw away our tickets and take these GREAT seats), I was happy to tell my hubby I had 14th row seats on the floor, in the middle section. Like you, NWS, I got them through Ticketmaster, and as the first show was already sold out and this one was on its way, the expensive floor seats were "Best Available." Last concert we were at was almost two years ago -- Rod Stewart. But I really scoured the arena and the way the stage was set up there wasn't a bad seat in the house, really; a fact I'll keep in mind the next time I buy tickets online.
Hamas,
Paul said that he and Art met each other at age 11, began singing together at age 12, and began fighting with each other at 13. :D He also mentioned that the inspiration for their sound was the Everley Brothers. Last night, they looked very gratified to be performing live and to such adulation. Paul was a bit "colder" than Art and towards Art, but, by the end (with our great Detroit crowd ), he, too, seemed very touched and pleased.
