Simon and Garfunkel surprised fans when they
kicked off their reunion tour last Thursday night and brought out Don and
Phil Everly (aka the Everly Brothers) to join them on stage.
There is good news for fans of the classic
vocal harmony centered rock, the Everlys will be joining the reunited Simon
and Garfunkel for the entire “Old Friends” tour, which will run until Dec.
21 where the final stop is set in Tampa, Fl.
The Everlys were called up to the stage
midway through Thursday night’s sold out show at Wachovia Arena in Wilkes
Barre, Pa. They performed three of their signature songs, "Wake Up Little
Susie," "Dream" and "Let it Be Me", and were then joined on stage by Art
and Paul who joined them for the most well known Everly hit "Bye Bye Love."
"Art and I learned to sing as a duo by
listening to Everly Brothers records and practicing their harmonies," Simon
said Friday on the discussion to add them to the tour. "We're both great
fans of their singing and guitar playing."
The Everly Brothers seem the perfect complement
to Simon and Garfunkel’s music.
"When it comes to the magnificent sound
of Don and Phil, I'm just a wannabe," Art Garfunkel said.
Simon and Garfunkle also brought the hits
on their tour opener. For their first tour together in over 20 years, they
performed some of their classics including “Mrs. Robinson”, Homeward Bound”
and of course “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.
