On September 19, 1981, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel played in front of 500,000 people in Central Park, New York City. I missed this concert by three days, as I had to end my first ever visit to the US to go back home to prepare for starting at Edinburgh University, but I saw them play much the same set live at Wembley Stadium the following June - a highly memorable experience even 30 years on.
On Pink Floyd
To Antwerp on 24 October 2012 to see Pink Floyd tribute band Brit Floyd. Classic stuff: from a trippy See Emily Play, through an exuberant Money, a suitably "adult" Great Gig In The Sky, the poignancy of Wish You Were Here/Shine On You Crazy Diamond (with photos of Syd flicking through the kaleidoscopic backdrop), and all building towards the hazy theatre of Comfortably Numb, which of course brought the house down.
