Aside from Lightfoot and Merle Haggard, I would count Paul Simon's concert at the Berkeley Community Theatre in 1975 as among the top concerts I saw. "Still Crazy After All These Years" had just been released, and as an extra touch Simon's musicians included a string quartet. At some point in the program Art Garfunkel emerged from the curtains to a standing ovation. The two of them sang "The Boxer" "My Little Town" and a few others even though Paul had done them solo. He then stood up smiled at Paul and waved to the audience as he left.
