This Thursday only, the Balboa Theater (3630 Balboa Street) will host a screening of the rock ‘n roll documentary “The Harmony Game: The Making of Bridge Over Troubled Water”.
The film commemorates the 40th anniversary of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s final studio album that is “shrouded in rock n’ roll mythology with legendary tales of inspiration, innovation and separation.”
A rarely seen time-capsule of Simon & Garfunkel’s writing process and of the late-1960s, this spectacular 70+ minute documentary includes archival footage and brand new interviews with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel discussing the creation and reception of Bridge Over Troubled Water, along with several of the duo’s collaborators from the period: Roy Halee (co-producer/engineer), Hal Blaine (drums), Joe Osborn (bass guitar), Jimmie Haskell (arranger), and Mort Lewis (manager).
The documentary is included in the new 40th anniversary CD-DVD reissue of the album from Sony Music, which comes out March 8. The documentary is being shown in select theaters, like the Balboa, for a limited time.
Thursday night’s screening begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance or at the door the night of the show.
