Paul Simon/Staurday Night Live Special 1975-1978

This two-disc DVD is a super convenient compilation of Simon’s performance scenes from “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE”. Moreover, the first disc contains a digest version of the 1975 special broadcast in Japan, which was also used in “BBC 1975”. At that time, the program was called “SATURDAY NIGHT” instead of “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE”. Of course, the picture quality is better than the part used in “BBC 1975”, and it is very convenient in that you can see the appearances from the same period that were not seen there. However, the official DVD “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE 1975-1976 / THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON” allows you to see the entire program in its entirety, and you can also see the cut art song “I Only Have Eyes For You”, so it can be said to be a complement to this “BBC 1975”. Still, it is enjoyable, and Simon’s basketball skills are amazing! The second disc is even more luxurious than that. This is a recording of a program that was broadcast in Japan that included only Simon’s performance scenes from “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” from 1976 to 1978. In addition, since it was broadcast in the 21st century, the picture quality is excellent. It is also appreciated that there are subtitles for the exchanges in “Still Crazy After All These Years” in 1976, in which Simon famously sang dressed as a turkey. His appearance of clinging to producer Lorne Michaels, saying “Don’t make me do it like this!” is exactly what would later be seen in “PAUL SIMON SPECIAL”. George Harrison also appears as a guest, and you can see the duo’s performance, with their initials remaining S&G. It is common knowledge among enthusiasts that Simon and George played “Bye Bye Love” and “Rock Island Line” during breaks in filming (the audience watching recorded them). Of course, the DVD is packed with footage that Beatles fans won’t want to miss, and even includes Art’s solo performance at “Scarborough Fair.” Don’t miss this DVD of such luxurious content.
