From the mid-60s until their breakup in 1970, this is the golden age of the band, before they reunited. This album is a complete recording of the August 23, 1968, concert at the Hollywood Bowl in LA, recorded on soundboard. The concert was originally recorded for a live recording, and is known for having Al Cooper as the concert engineer. Except for the crackling sound at the beginning, the balance of the 12-string guitar, and the occasional feedback, the harmony between the two musicians, Paul's guitar, and the positioning and spread of each sound are perfectly reproduced. In March of that year, the soundtrack album for the movie "The Graduate," for which they were responsible for most of the music, was released, followed by their fourth album, "Bookends," in April. This was the peak of S&G, and Paul's guitar and the harmony between the two musicians captivated the audience until the very end. Moreover, the entire concert was composed of one suite, just like the concept of the album "Bookends," and it also contained many messages for the audience. And of course, there are many highlights in the songs, particularly the tension created by the dissonant guitar in the middle track "Scarborough Fair," and the arrangements that are close to studio recordings on tracks like "Overs," "Cloudy," and "Punky's Dilemma." 01.
