Paul Simon is an amazing prolific talent. Songwriter and performer! Saw him last night at the Hollywood Bowl (5/22/18) and he rocked the house. Amazing energy!! What a gift to see him perform again. I saw him in the late 1980s and again in the early 1990s in New York with the wonderful musicians from South Africa. Thrilling evening!!

Paul took “my” music and elevated it with genius, creative, brilliant arrangements, keeping enough of the integrity of the originals for PS purists. Every member of his band was a virtuoso. Renee Magritte was unbelievable. His string/wind arrangements were wildly intricate and the group played without charts!, for 2.5 hours. He sang acapella above them. And the world musicians all around him and the band regulars just blew my mind. For 2.5 hours the entire world was aligned perfectly. Ahhhhhhhhhh,!

I am an admited groupie. I saw him and his band in Philadelphia in June. My friend and I both agree that the DC performance was better than the one in Philadelphia. Several reasons. The DC crowd was much better behaved. More importantly, the band has become tighter and Ymusic much more integrated with the other musicians. The performance of "Rene and Georgia Magritte. . . " seemed disjoined in Philadelphia while it was beyond lovely in DC. The only downside was that the acoustics in DC were a notch below the acoustics in Philadelphia. I have heard Paul Simon in concert many times going back to my days as a student at the University of Pennsylvania (College '70). He never disappoints.

super concert at BB&T , september 8, 2018. Sang for 2.5 hours , including 2 encores. The band was complex and outstanding with brass, string and a multitude of unconventional instruments, in addition to the typical percussion and guitars. A great set list which combined some of the classics with the latest by Paul. Overall, a concdert to remember, just like the central park concert minus the 485000 attendees!

Saw Simon and Garfunkel in 2003 here in Boston and thought that this performance couldn't match that one. Thinking that a 70+ singer couldn't hit the notes he once did, and also thinking it would be a short unenthusiastic Paul...I was wrong on all counts and very pleasantly surprised. Terrific show. Terrific back up musicians. I hope his last stop on his Homeward Bound Tour is his own New York, and that it is filmed and shown on PBS next year.

My wife and I saw Paul Simon Tuesday night at the Greensboro Coliseum. I went and bought very good seats the first day tickets were available. This is the music of my life; Sounds of Silence as a young teenager, to Graceland- which my young children adored. It would not matter what decade it was from the 60s to now, Paul Simon is a true genius that has helped us all piece together our collective memories. It was a truly great performance with an amazing band of modern world sounds.
