"Live from New York City, 1967" is an album by Simon and Garfunkel, recorded at Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City, on 22 January 1967. The album was released on the Columbia Legacy CK 61513 label on 16 July 2002.

The performance is noteworthy in that it is the first official live release by Simon and Garfunkel recorded in the 1960s. As it was recorded in 1967, before Simon and Garfunkel gained fame with the movie "The Graduate", it features many of the duo's early hits and album tracks, such as "Leaves That Are Green", "He Was My Brother", and "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her".

Four of the songs from this album were previously released on 1997's "Old Friends" box-set. However, one track from that set, "Red Rubber Ball," was not included in this release, thus leaving it somewhat incomplete.

Unlike their other official live albums, "The Concert in Central Park" and "Old Friends: Live On Stage", this recording features Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel performing alone. It should also be of note that this tape is not the same show as the bootleg, "Live From New York City, 1966", despite similar material and packaging.
