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 wouldn'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 album never came to be (until now, that is), and Simon & Garfunkel soon ended that early stage of their partnership. At these final shows Simon & Garfunkel
gave performances (and now, at last, recordings) that are as magnificent as any they ever offered.

This set contains both acoustic and full band recordings from the tour, including an incredible version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - one of the first performances ever of that song - along with inspired versions of all their big hits. Live 1969 captures all of the elements that made Simon & Garfunkel the quintessential voices of a generation and stands as a glowing testimony to their enduring legacy.
