Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
I'm 63. The voice of a generation. His music has always been with me. Thank you, Paul
64 right there with you.
Not really the voice of a generation. I'm 62. Still, it was good although he looked like he was about to fall asleep. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard would have been better.
Yes, thank you
62, and I agree. I don't know if I would call him the voice of the generation, because we were lucky enough to have so many great voices, but he was among the best. My mom was a little unsure about them hearing my favorite song, "The Boxer". She didn't really think it was appropriate for me, who discovered the song at 10 to hear this:
"Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there,"
56 and right there with you
One man, one guitar, one voice. Paul Simon has such a strong presence all by himself on that stage. Wow.
And put the crowd to sleep
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomen Your name and comment are how an amateur makes an attempt to anger people; you're not good enough to be a troll.
You know it man!
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomendisrespectful comment for a classic.
@@joannbeiser4907 There is a difference between being disrespectfull for all the music Paul has given us, and acknowledging that the man is 82 years old and can nolonger sing the way he used to.
I'm happy for the guy that he can still play guitar and do his thing, and several of his songs will always instantly bring me back to my youth, but notice how this is pretty much the only comment that says this is a good performance? The rest allmost exclusively say how it reminds them of when Paul was younger.
We can sit here and pretend that we have this song on repeat, but we don't. Paul is getting too old for this, somebody should tell him that.
Paul Simon doesn’t just sing a song you all know, he reinvents it.
His timing is unique
The GREAT Paul Simon. He sings, and I'm teleported to my childhood, in the car, with my Dad. I miss him every day. But, more than memories, the songs and music are timeless and scream his genius. What a gift he has. Thank you, Paul. I sense you know the scale of your reach, but you can never know your impact.
That's how you tell a story people. Just a voice, a guitar, and no distractions. Not even a drum, so the tempo can flow and progress as Paul feels it., creating his own drama as the audience is rapt in attention.. His age and wisdom all on display in its fantastic glory.
No autotune, no over the top choreography, just a man, a mic, and his squeaky guitar. Amazing.
He's doing just fine for 83
@@Brian-uy2tj. Paul turns 83 on October 13th🥰. He was born in ‘41❤

How does he do it
AND a great song!
While he can't play as cleanly as he once did, nor does he sound like he did decades ago, this was the best performance of this song that I've ever seen. Brilliant guitar arrangement, touching vocal. He didn't just perform that song, he embodied it. I was profoundly moved.
Wow. The stunning level of narcissism it must take to keep performing 25 years after you sounded decent. I'll never understand it: give it up already geezers! You sound like crap! Well adjusted and normal performers (like Rush) know when to quit! This was just sad. I wouldn't see this if you paid me. A lot.
Pure humanity
@@benjaminholt6640this takes way more mastery than playing it cleanly
Nearly fifty years on, and he can still bring something fresh and new to the tune. 👏👏👏
He brought this new poignancy to it! Outstanding.
The very definition of a master musician. Paul Simon, superb writer, singer, performer. I am a better human being for having heard his performances over the last 60+ years. Thank you, sir. I wish you long life to help us all survive the difficulties we face. A well chosen serenade for Steven and his beloved Evie on his 60th birthday. :)
Paul wrote some of the most beautiful music of his generation and beyond. He is doing just fine at 83. Thank you Stephen for having him on your show, it was a real treat.
The mighty Paul Simon is a Wisdom Keeper for the planet. He transcends time, place, medium... When he performs, his soul is wide open.
This was so special, remembering the story Stephen shared about hearing this with his mother in the car when he was ~10 years old ❤️ Happiest birthday Stephen Colbert!!
One of his most soulful songs performed with wisdom, confidence and maturity. He’s my father’s age and I am 63. I got emotional watching this.
This song hits harder and harder as I get older (45 now). Lovely performance. So blessed to have Simon as the musical soundtrack to our lives.
I LOVE how he recognizes that his voice isn’t the same as when he was young, doesn’t try to recreate that young cover, but uses it to introduce even more soul. It reminds me of Johnny Cash’s later work, some of which is heavily used in tv and movie scenes to emphasize the heavy. I hope we continue to hear this Paul Simon version.
He and Cash both made some of their very best work at the end of life as well. There are artists who have one or two incredible peaks in their career and then sort of fade creatively, and then there are those like Simon or Cash who just seem to have an endless supply of creativity. They just do what they’re born to do 👍
Man... my dog wouldn't even sing at my last birthday. This guy gets Paul Simon!
Stephen must have loved this! Last time Paul was on, Stephen told him a story about his mother. She had gone into a store while he listened to the car radio, and she got in just as Paul was singing,
"I know a woman - became a wife,
These are the very words she uses to describe her life,
She said a good day, ain't got no rain,
A bad day's when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been."
And Stephen's mother just said - "That's so true." In that moment he saw how profoundly that simple verse touched her, and saw a side of her he had never thought about. You could tell it affected him.
What an absolute treat! The line that says "a bad day's when l lie in bed and think of things that might have been..." has always seemed such a perfect description of what it can be like if you suffer from depression. THANK YOU! ❤
I am enjoying reading the comments and reading people’s appreciation and memories. We will never have such an abundance of prophetic and insightful singer songwriters like we had in the 60’s.
I'm pretty sure, going by the crowd's reaction, that they were fully aware of what they were witnessing.
MANY years ago I was 14 year old runaway that snuck into a concert of Simon and Garfunkel in Eugene Oregon. Loved them then. Still loving him now Thank You for all of the great music🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🙏🏽❤️
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
Aldous Huxley
At 83, I discover that his voice drops me back to those years-you know, the ones we supposedly don’t really remember because we were stoned, but in fact live deeper within than most of us anticipated. Thank you, Paul.
And he's 83, too. Be well. May Paul Simon and yourself live on.
💗 what a nice birthday present for Stephen.
The years have certainly slip slided away. Grateful to have grown up with Simon's music in the background since it was him and Garfunkel.
It's never been in the background for me. Great music always takes center stage.
Paul Simon is brave to come out and sing with just an acoustic guitar. So authentic after all the glitz and voice falsifying machinations that musicians surround themselves with now. Thank you!
It's been my dream for a long time to have Paul Simon come to my birthday party. Stephen has all the luck!
Diamonds on the souls of her shoes is my favourite song of all time. What a poet, what an icon...
Oh man I saw the Graceland tour 2x every song etched in my memory. Paul Simon, no words. Great comment.
Treasured threads in the tapestry of lives.
And "Homeless"
Too many great ones for me to have a sure favorite, but if I had to pick, I would likely choose "The Boxer". but two other underrated oldies also are "Richard Cory" and "Hazy Shade of Winter".
A great album!
Iconic. Wonderful performance. You could hear a pin drop.
He's one of a very small group (including Dylan and Joni Mitchell) of top-level song writers/story tellers. One of my very first record albums bought in the '60s was "The Sounds of Silence."
Such an iconic man and song! Thank you Paul!
Spruced it up a bit as if to say I ain't done yet. Love you Paul!
Man so masterful on the acoustic guitar. No one come close to his finger style.
Sad + beautiful.
Superb and very poignant. Thank you Paul.
Classic. So glad to see him out there.
J'adore, guitare 1voix cela suffit. Un grand artiste. Aujourd'hui il n'y en a plus 😍👍👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ bravo Paul
In his mature years, he sings it so differently than back in the early years. He has certainly been an artist of merit.
He's like a fine wine or cheese-better and better as he ages❤ Happy 60th Stephen!!🥰
Absolutely beautiful !
The man, the legend! So many iconic songs with Garfunkel and solo! Always loved ‘Still Crazy After All These Years’
If I had a theme song, it would definitely be 'Still Crazy After All These Years'.
I'm almost 60. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. It has a gospel quality to it NO gospel song has. It probably is one of the best songs ever. He is probably one of the top 5 songwriters and voices of any generation. Kudos!
I've always thought Paul Simon songs have a spiritual overtone...
It's a great song. Mom loved it but she always thought about it as sliding on the ice.
I’m half your age and feel the same!
How beautiful, and how different with the perspective of age. He is a treasure.
My dad went to high school with Simon & Garfunkel in the late 50’s… the stories are wild 😮
What an absolute legend.
Better than a birthday song from Marilyn ❤ so soulful and heartfelt .. never felt that line “when you’re old you hear the words more”, than with this performance .
The GOAT
One of the greats. An underrated musician and genius wordsmith. Timeless.
Great choice of song. I remember Stephen telling the story of how his Mum reacted when she heard this song on the car radio when it was new, a meaningful choice for him. ❤
Great Paul Simon! I'm lucky to have seen him in a concert.
Happy birthday Stephen 🎉🎊🎁
Paul Simon's music enchanted me since I was 13 years old. I have many of his solo albums.
Bravo, Mr Simon. Sheesh I wish my fingers still worked that well. One of my favorite songs of yours. I'm singing along.
Thank you Paul! Thank you Stephen Colbert! Real music, real tune, written and performed by a real person... still, you just can't beat it!
'Rhymin Simon' was one of the best albums ever recorded. Every track is seared into my brain.
Planted in your brain? Does it still remain?
Agreed
the greatest recording artist of all time
Beautiful lyrics. This song always brings tears to my eyes. Paul Simon is such a legend! 💚🩵💜
His voice is still beautiful for his age. Amazing!!!!👏
Awesome 😎👍
The absolute master
My very Roman Catholic mother and sister were appalled with 'Celia'....I, however, loved it!!
That’s on them I’m afraid. Celia is the patron saint of music and musicians. It’s a double entendre about how fickle and fleeting artistic inspiration can be.
Angel of music! (and thank you Art for the lovely harmonies) but we know who was the foundation ❤
Simply one of the greatest songwriters and performers ever. I think it must be about 55 years now I been a huge admirer and fan. Lucky to have seen him with Art at Wembley Stadium many years ago. In my humble opinion he’s up there with George Gershwin and Ivor Novello. (And the Beatles and The Floyd obviously, given my age!)
I love him so much. An American Icon and Treasure for all of history.
Paul Simon turns his classic into an Epic . Truly amazing performance.
The man is a gift to humanity.
Arguably the best songwriter of all time.
yes of course, beside of Bob Dylan , Thom York , Roger Waters ....and so many others
Yes of course, plus Gordon Lightfoot🇨🇦
@@Plus_Minus_Null yeah yeah we know. But brilliant, admit that?
Kanye west
@@AllmenshouldrespectallwomenNah
One in a billion this man is.
The Greatest American Musician of all Time.
He’s still fantastic!
Lovely version of a great song. I think this is the best rendition EVER. Thanks PS 💗 Happy Birthday SC
Paul Simon remains a music legend. Great ending to one of the very best The Late Shows in recent memory 🩷☮️
We all got old. I am still a fan of Simon and Garfunkel. And I am going to be 78 in Oct too.
Paul Simon is the GOAT when it comes to music.
I've heard him sing this many times. This was the most beautiful and poignant. ❤
THE MAN, THE LEDGEND! Thank you for that. that was really the lovliness i needed to top off an already lovely day.
We believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away.
The true definition of an icon and a national treasure.
Paul Simon, I love you and your artistry so much.
You made an indelible impression on my younger self.
These days I find myself playing & singing your songs more and more with my old ‘55 Martin gut string.
Thank you.
Paul is like a conduit of music from some other realm.
Paul Simon has my heart forever
Happy Birthday Mr. Colbert… what a birthday gift you shared with all of us…. THANK-YOU!
When he had Paul Simon on as a guest recently and interviewed him, Stephen talked about hearing this song as a kid, and the impact it made to hear his mom's reaction to the lyrics. 💕💝
Just…exceptional
An American treasure.
Love this song. Love Paul Simon's work. Still have my Bridge Over troubled waters album I got in 1970. He's a treasure. Cool that he came back and did this song for Stephen.
I adore his music!!!
When I see him perform now, it makes me wonder what John Denver would be like now if he had lived 😢
We all got this wonderful gift for Stephen’s birthday. Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤
it’s been a gift to grow up and be influenced by many great musicians emerging from the 60s- Paul has always been a muse of our times❤
One of my first memories of music was hearing 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. I was five years old. I couldn’t get enough of it, to the point that if it came on the radio I screamed until my mother turned it up and I refused to leave the room or car until it was over. I didn’t know in 1975 that I would be a lifelong Paul Simon fan, but here we are, nearly 50 years later.
When music makes you cry ❤
Saw Simon & Garfunkel live in Osaka years ago, 3rd row center. Such a great concert and such great memories.
Sheer Musical Genius!
GOAT
Outstanding 5+ minutes of network TV! What an incredible and simple performance.
At 82 he's still got it! Amazing Creative...
HE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE NOBEL FOR POETRY. EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE.
Appreciate him now.
I will echo all that has been commented.....and just add.....musical genius......thanks Paul
It is so beautiful to hear what can be done with only the human voice and a single accompanying instrument. So beautiful. Thank you, Paul Simon!
I listened to this on his album countless times in college. Many years in between. Now hearing it again this time when we are both much older… a whole different message and layers of feeling.
Thanks to Paul Simon for his genius and artistry.
The music of my childhood.
Whoa. Was just listening to this driving through Yellowstone two days ago and had to hear it again. Who knew.
