The Egg was using this picture in promoting the show.

It's no secret that Arthur lost his singing voice in 2010. It's been a struggle for him to regain it, bravery and hard work, and he told Rolling Stone that it's back 96%. I thought he sounded pretty good - yes, some electronic assistance (sounded like a faint echo in the mix sometimes, also, the vocal was set within the mix of guitar and keyboard) - straining at times, but for the majority, a fine performance. He has written a book, and read passages from it between some of the songs - He's a witty, insightful author, and his speaking voice is warm and strong.

Prior to the show, a member of The Egg staff made a 'no camera, no recording, no cell phone' announcement. Those requests are always made on the performers' behalf, per their wishes. This time, the request went so far as to ask for all cell phones to be turned off completely. So, of course, early in the show, during the second or third reading, somebody's phone rang. A few times and loud enough to cause Arthur to look disgustedly in the direction of the offender. He definitely lost concentration, and when trying to find his spot in the reading, he again looked up and shook his head, making it clear (again) that he was disturbed. The blockheads really never 'get it' anyway though.

This concert was reviewed in the TimesUnion, and not so favorably at that. He had such a different experience than I did, and I wonder if it is summed up in this ONE line he wrote: "Of course, the crowd came to hear the Simon & Garfunkel gems, and Garfunkel didn’t skimp on the old catalog." http://blog.timesunion.com/localarts/review-art-garfunkel-the-egg-102415/39553

If you were expecting the Garfunkel of 1965, then surely you would be disappointed. However, if you were open to the performance of the day, then you saw the beauty in the struggle and got more than your money's worth.
