    After seeing this concert again, timeless and human in the best possible meaning of the word, restores a bit of my faith that we humans ARE capable of saving the planet and all who sail in her. Paul Simon and a few other musicians of the 60s and 70s make me feel alive again.

      That line "Some have died, some have fled from themselves and struggled to get from here to there." is just so recognizable, I lost so much of my old high school buddies that way.

However, in the end, it will always be the stupendous artistry of Paul Simon, a musical treasure, who makes it all go! He is a tour de force for all time.

  • @marcocalado412

    I always loved Paul Simon (Graceland is one of the top ten albums from the 80's in my book) but for the past 5 years( i'm 50 now) all of his musics are really starting to take a deeper meaning - to become more real in the flesh. Either i'm getting older or just receding into a "obvious child".

  • @sure5871

    • @gerrycoogan6544

      I agree. I've seen him six times (including this gig) and every time, I've thought to myself that if I had the resources, I'd follow every gig he ever does.
      As an artist, he's out on his own.
