Lyrics:
The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
It couldn't of been no more
Than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Coming from the room next door
And my mother laughed
The way some ladies do
When it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
One of the best song writers ever. Thank you Paul.
“And, my mother laughed the way some ladies do!” ❤️ that line!
I often think about how my mother laughs and whether that's the way some ladies do :)
I need this as my ring tone
My mother smiles but doesn't laugh, that's the first thing I remembered when I listened to this groovy tune :)
underage in a funk bar, step out and smoked myself a "J"
@@FloridaStairSupply “And when I come back to the room, Everybody just seemed to move, and I turned my amp up loud, and I began to play! And, it was late in the evening, and I blew that room away!”
This song makes me think about my grandma, who sadly has passed away on 20 March 2023 at only 72 years.
Her will to live was there, she wanted to see her grandchildren grew up.
She unfortunately didn’t, her body couldn’t handle.
This song was played at her funeral, I still miss her to this day.
I'm imagining your grandma banging away on lead guitar up on the stage, with a "cigarette" hanging from her mouth. She looks exactly like Tyne Daly :-) :-) :-)
@ she sure was the cool grandma, I’m still sad she isn’t there with me anymore :(
😢
😊
Who's listening to this in 2020? A real funky groove!
This is my ringtone! I love this song!
Always brother!!
Foreeevver
Plus 2 thumbs up for Pittsburgh Penguins great taste sir
@Anrcs Mxms Can you believe it has been----40 years?
When the horns come in, my musical soul takes wings!! Gracias Paul!!
Can you tell me if the music is Calypso, Salsa or Meringue?
@@billseibert7202Duke Ellington said “there’s only two kinds of music, good and bad”. This is definitely the former.
Oh yeah its heaven
@@billseibert7202 seems more like Samba or some type of Desi Arnaz Cuban afro beat possibly
It's late in the evening, January 2024.
This song is just over 40 years old, but seems to get better with age.
its like wine
Like a great Chianti!
Steve Gadd is the master Here. Mozambique rythym Lives Forever.🎉
Sing this song once in a while at karaoke. I like doing "something different". There's only so many times you can listen to "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Sweet Caroline".
Musicality is important, but Paul Simon without music is still one of the best poets America has ever produced.
Paul Simon rarely writes his lyrics
pomes are for potes poems are for poets ear aches are from simonspeaks
@@vincentbriegel7038 Wrong, Simon wrote the lyrics to his songs. Name one of his hits that he didn't write both word and Music to besides "Scarborough Fair and El Condor Pasa".
Ya I stepped outside 2 Smoke myself a J an well it's late in the evening ""Oh My""
@@vincentbriegel7038 please do your homework next time.
In high school, I was in the marching band. We played this song during our on field performance. I was a trumpet player and loved this song. The trumpet part was difficult to learn for the trumpet section (we had 23 trumpet players) but once we got it, it was the shit!!
What a great memory
You can bet the crowd loved it as well
2022
Mmlp
Yes, that brass run is the shit!!!
I remember being so upset when Simon & Garfunkel broke up. I was scared the great music would stop. Then Paul started releasing music like this and I was happy again.
The first time I heard this I spontaneously got up and started dancing - my mother laughed the way some ladies do”- Paul Simon is one of the greatest American storytellers.
Yes this is so Groovy that you can't help but move the body
You can't help but to get up and move to this song
It's infectious...
You just have to dance
I will never ever forget seeing him play this song in Central Park. Then the crowd wouldn't let Simon and Garfunkle go so they ripped into this a second time to the delight of the crowd.
Good memories ❤️
This kind of music just never ages. Paul Simon is a legend
So good. This is one of the first tunes I listened to as a young boy. I saved up to get a cheap vinyl player from Sears and placed this gem on the turntable and entered pure bliss.
Another drumming Master Class by Steve Gadd.
And Ralph Macdonald
C'mon Now......Who's Here In May Of 2024 ?? This Is Truly What Is Known As Music ! !
Absolutely 💯
I love this song!
Every single weekend of my life needs a brass fanfare.
Yep
Me
Gadd is a clock!!!!
before pro tools there were pros
Who's here in 2023 ?
What a groove, what a unique love song where Paul mixes his love of mother, music, and girlfriend.
If you are having a bad day, crank this gem up in your EARBUDS! The rest of your day will be beautiful!
F YES BUDDY!!!!!
A jay won't hurt either
He is one of the geniuses- up there with The Beatles & Bob Dylan. Great quality audio-thanks!
Dyan maybe, no one is on the Beatles level, except maybe bowie.
Bob Moslow 😂😂😂 he surpasses all of them!!! Maybe Dylan but even he would admit that Paul has reached so many different audiences and his historic value is beyond in my opinion.. just my opinion.. I was raised on th abestke and Dylan and saw Dylan live more times than I can count
no no boy, bob moslow
@@mfb5642 Joni Mitchell
@@mfb5642 He's a better writer than the Beatles, who at their best just copied Dylan. Mostly they wrote generic pop songs.
I'm willing to bet good money that Paul tore it up at the sock hops as a kid. You forget how insanely funky and danceable his music was, all the time sustaining the intricacies of his unique melodic gift. Boy, does he have a lot of brass, too! He keeps a lot of horn men employed, giving us some of the great brass lines ever. My vote as the greatest American composer of the last half of the 20th, not to mention the poetry. Were we lucky, or what?
HEY THE OINGO BOING MAN AIN'T SO BAD EITHER!
jackronner yes we are blessed absolutely 🌓✨💫🌟⚡️
I wish I was cool enough to know what 'tore it up at the sock hops' means. I absolutely love this song, love all of his music really. This was also the soundtrack to a particularly wonderful ice dance by the Duchesnays (sp?) quite a few years ago.
Susan Norton. Paul Simon was 18 in 1959. A sock hop was nothing more than a dance(maybe at school or some other community venue). From what I could read on Paul Simon, they didn't mention much garage band experience. That expression just means they did a good job(maybe excelled) as the band for the dance.
Susan Norton . In movie of same name
As a kid riding in the back of a wooden-sided station wagon with no seat belts and a big American V8, Mom would crank this on the AM Radio driving from San Jose, CA to Tulsa, OK. Liked the song then but absolutely LOVE it now because it makes me feel young again.
Your mom totally rocked. Maybe she still does. Lucky boy.
What a great memory. Some of my best memories of the 70s is riding in my grandparents’ station wagon - no seat belts of course - and them both smoking and the radio blaring. Also in NorCal lol.
awesome story!
Always thought this song was a masterpiece
agreed
And you sir are, obviously, correct.
it is!
Timeless masterpiece
You thought correct, sir
"When She came into my life I'm gonna get that Girl no matter what do" That's how I met my Wife 35 years ago! ❤
In an ever increasingly shitty world...this song gives me hope...
The multilayered percussion, massive and tight horn section and en pointe bassline alone is life itself! Absolutely flawless musicianship.
🥁🎸🎺🎶🔊👍
I can't get enough of this song
@@maryvaltierra3944 The many live versions are really fun to watch too..the entire band- excellent musicianship. 🎶🎺🎼
I agree with almost everything you say but the horn section isn't "huge" but may have been overdubbed once or twice.
Check out Edgar Winter's White Trash, "Road Work" live album
@@stratoflyer7685 'kay, will do! Only know his stuff a little, Rick Derringer/Frankenstein, and some Johnny Winter...
Happy New Year! 🎊
When my car was stolen, I lost a lot of great CD's..this was one of them....thanks for letting me listen to it again.
Oh my heart breaks for you. I would cry the BIGGEST cry if my cds were stolen. My love out to you for that sadness.
That's what you get for voting for leftists.
God Bless You...this song is beyond cool.
@peterg5383😂😂
That's Steve Gadd on drums,one of the best
Infectious. He was all over that set but completely in control the whole time. Watch him in the Central Park video. He's right up there with John Bonham.
Didn't know that was Gadd.
Nice info.
Love him on AJA.
One of the greatest drum solos I've ever heard.
Sheesus!!!
Yay!!!
Yep. His double-stick modified Mozambique groove. Really wonderful stuff.
When he knew he made it "It was late in the evening and I blew that room away" It must have been such an intoxicating feeling.
That line always leaves me exhilarated 😲😃🤓😎
I play music and I've been there and I can attest...for an entertainer there is no better feeling! It's a perfect, suspended moment in time with no past and no future. Only the now and doing what you were made to do with everybody digging it♥️
Every lead guitarist's dream.
You bet listening in 2024! Without a doubt, one of our generations greatest artists, still showing the world we did it and still many doing it in 2024, this stuff is timeless evermore!
Timeless
My dad (Paul) introduced me to Paul Simon when i was 8 years old and I've loved him and Simon & Garfunkel ever since!
Thanks Dad!
I HATE U!!!! 😊
This song makes my heart happy
This and mam a pajama
@@chazwittman5646
Yeah, lol...my mom used to sing that to me when I was little.
🎶🛏💃🏬🚨🚔🕺🗣💬🔎👋🌹👸👑
👨🏀👨🌳🏫🌳🌳🎶
This song makes me feel to ride down the Pacific coast.
Amen.
So much sadness in world right now PUT this on it'll make everything right ❤
Man, I love the horn section in this one!
Dave Grusin, one of the greatest arrangers of all time, did the horn arrangement here
@@jamesrawlins735 - Thanks for the info.
Jon Faddis on trumpet
2023 and he's still blowing that room away!
Yes he is! 🙌👏👍
Yes he is!!
Yes he is!!!
Ladies and gentlemen those are PROfessional musicians…..my goodness
His singing and songwriting was phenomenal. But his beats are on a completely different level.
I can remember driving my delivery van in East New York with this song on the radio. When I stopped at a red light all the pedestrians would walk by the Van bopping their heads
Same here, but Salem, MA in a craft beer truck a month or so ago...
💪👊👍😉
Of Paul Simon is from new York he knows how to make people dance! What a great song I think I'll listen to it again!
😎😎😎
i can just see my father as a young man in NYC enjoying the atmosphere
this one and "me and julio down by the schoolyard "
so many happy memories .
so glad i was born in 1971 and had an older brother who always had the best music.
The horn charts on this are, well...off the charts!
just my favorite Paul Simon song
I'm 74 and it still blows me away. Great everything. Horn section, rhythm section. Bad ass bass line. Takes me way back like time travel.
The mozanbiique backbeat on the cowbell and the ride cymble joining together with the alternating tom toms. Steve Gadd the natural drumming genius setting the perfect feel with his stalystics. Keeping it in the pocket as he would say.
And that brass! 🎺🎶
Gadd is so good. It's no wonder he played on some of the best albums ever.
Ohhhh it's Steve Gadd, that's right! I forgot! No wonder it's all so tight! Lotta Rio Carneval percussion styles in there too... 🥁🔔🛢️🛢️🎶
The arrangement and every part is *so* gorgeously perfect I can't even. The massive ultra-tight horns ugh. There's also a subtle lil chorded/octave picked end note in the bassline at end of each measure, on the intro too I'd forgotten about! (it repeats in the main song) 🎸🎶👂
That Mozambican rythym is Pure Magic 🪄
I lose count at around ten percussive instruments. I get lost because I constantly analyze *every* instrument and tablature- it's a maddening curse I never put to good use, sadly.
Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel were arguably single-handedly responsible for the surge in popularity of the so called "world beat' style music in the US in the 80's.
I muhself have been enjoying the original- Soweto Gospel Choir and such since forever...very uplifting when the chips are down...
🎤🎤🇿🇦🙏
I wish this were on the Radio more... Paul was never-better. Such a fun, gentle song
The groove on this tune is irresistable
Watching a movie and this song came on. I am Latina, and I couldn’t help to stand and start dancing 💃👍
I kind of hope you were at home and not a theater... ? But good for you!
@ 🤣🤣🤣, I was at home 😅😅
Paul Simon really hits you in the nostalgia of childhood and youth. I say that as a millennial who only heard of him as an adult.
Love this sing! Blown away!💨
Song..🙂
Dude,this is the stuff I grew up on !
Amo esta canción desde que tenía 8 años ....👏🙏❤️🇨🇱
Notice that the song got real funky after Paul mentioned that he took that smoke outside. 💨💨💨💨💨
Big time studio musician Steve Gadd is playing drums...........Going to see him tonight in NYC at the Iridium! He played on several hits for Steely Dan and Paul Simon.
I remember back in 1980 my brother bought this album .
And when it was late in the evening he'd crank this song up and bring the people to their feet.
Great memories brother RIP❤❤❤
The percussion in this this song just give a person no other choice but to move!
Steve Gadd. Accept no substitutes.
My favorite Paul Simon song.
ditto
✨🙌✨
I can't play favs, but one of them indeed.
Me luv Katz too!😻🐾
Hell yeah
One of the grestest lines in any song ever: "Well I guess I've been in love before, once or twice I've been on the floor, but I've never loved no one the way that I love you."
This is THEE song for a conga line at a party 🎉🎉🎉
Smoking a J , it's late in the evening, staring at the beautiful Texas sky hearing this tune. Life's simple pleasures. 👌💨
Wow...
What a song! Been listening to this guy since the 60's. Lord I remember my English teacher ask us the meaning of "Sounds of Silence". Us dumb kids couldn't come up with any answers. She was mad. She was a taskmaster and great teacher.
Steve Gadd and Tony Levin can be my rhythm section any day!
Absolutely!!!
Wow, didn't realize that was Tony Levin 😊
Starting off 2025 and the music is seeping through 🎺🎺🎺 1:58
This song is so New York City. Steve Gadd's drums add the extra dimension to this track. Cheers! ✌️
This is music!
Rediscovering music from my teens....used to listen to Paul Simon all the time in the 80s....I remember when this came out.
AMEN
I grew up with this stuff!!!!!! best time of my life
Yes it is. The kids as I call them nowadays will never know what they missed!
I love how the guitar raises its eyebrows and "laughs" when, after 1:30, Paul sings "I stepped outside and smoked myself a 'J'." Compare to "Show Biz Kids" by Steely Dan, right after Donald Fagen sings, of the title characters, "they got the Steely Dan T-shirts", to similar stringed smirking. Had the Four Seasons done likewise in "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)", they'd have made the guitar laugh right after the singer, recalling his first carnal encounter, notes in a comic aside that "as I recall, it ended much too soon ... (Oh, what a night ...)."
I remember the first time I ever heard this song. I was driving to work in the early morning. I think it was 1980. I couldn’t/t sit still and now its 40 years later and I still can’t sit still when i hear this song. Some songs last forever!
My exact reaction. Never been able to NOT shake my ass when I hear it.
The song was indeed first released as a single in July 1980.
Takes me back to a better time
Late in the Evening was released in July 1980 and became a hit on several charts worldwide.
That’s one of my most favorite songs of all times ❤
Had the "live from central park" cassette, me and my buddy smoked many "j's" to this jam!
"My mother laughed the way some ladies do." Brilliant imagery.
Thank you dad! For showing me all the beautiful colors in music! RIP. I want them to play this song at my wedding 😂😂😂😂
A One trick Pony or fly by night Cowboy, another great song by Paul Simon 🙂
I remember jammin to this for the first time with my mom in her 81 Buick, lol. Those horns blew my little mind!!!
When this track came out in the summer of 1980, I was sixteen. I used to hear this song all the time that summer, along with “Into The Night” by Benny Mardones, and “Emotional Rescue” by the Rolling Stones.
Music that summer was phenomenal; better yet, I used to get stoned and go see either “Airplane” (the original movie), and Cheech and Chong’s “Next Movie”. “Friday The 13th” (the original) came out around the end of that summer.
It took me 30+ years to understand this song....but now I get it. It's a great song!
Perfect song happy vibes❤
As a former trombone player, love the horns.
Peaking at number 6 for three weeks in early fall of 1980!
Magic groove by masterdrummer Steve Gadd. :)
What a great, underrated album. Great songs and musicians, and Paul's vocals never sounded better.
This album might have been critically underrated. The music press said that its quality was about average. It earned a B- grade from Robert Christgrau. But the album did chart infectiously the top 12 in at least five countries, including the US, France, and New Zealand. And "Late in the Evening" was a US Top 10 single, on both _BillBoard_ and _Cashbox._ So, if you think highly of _One Trick Pony_ your argument about the record being underrated is perhaps supported by the critics' assessment of it as being mediocre. But the public embraced it, and the album was certified Gold in America, and Silver in Britain.
Huge favorite with my AZ high school peers when it came out.
Paul Simon is always a good time jam.....especially this song & this LP....that's album/vinyl for you Gen Z'ers....❤❤❤
My God, remember this era, I was at my peak, I will never be a "cool" as I was in 1981, Then too, I don't wanna be "cool" in a world that's NOT 1981.
1981, my favorite year in music. Wish I could go back to that time...🎶
1981 rules!!
I was born 1981. So I’m cool with that year for sure.
This guy definitely deserves more credit than he has. He is simply great, one of the musicians who gave us all we need!
Paul Simon always surprises us!
@@thelakeman5207 Do you remember the clip with Chavy Chase? Surprisingly good and funny.
@peterg5383 Great point. Thank you for the reporting.
I love introducing Paul Simon to millennial musicians. They are always blown away. I was playing his greatest hits at my tent while at Bonnaroo. Sooooo many young cats were asking who it was again and again. Gathered a cool crowd just listening to Paul.
Here it is, October 2024!
Great music is great music, regardless of the year~~~
Luv this!
Enjoy!
❤️🎶🎶🎶💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Will never ever forget a hot summer night in NYC and Paul grooving this song.
Other than mccartney the best song writer I ever heard
Funky drum/trumpet happy Salsa rhythm break.😮
YEAH HAPPY SALSA FUNK!
DANCE MYSELF ALL AROUND 😮😅😊
A groovy Latin beat mixed with a little funky rock!
Listening and mourning the loss of a friend, Late In The Evening.
This man is a legend
This song is above all: a great dance song. Reminds me of Brazilian music
Paul's genius showing, as usual.
"I was underage in this funky bar and I stepped outside to smoke a j" LOL!! Every mother's nightmare... Glad you made it out ok ☺️
The drumming is magnificent. Gadd!
The most amazing time for music. Paul Simon amongst that era(too many good ones to try to list) one of the best. I'm a lucky S.O.B. 56 and still kicking.grew up during amazing times in music
"... I was underage in this funky bar and I stepped outside an smoked myself a jay!" (the way that guitar just gently ignites is perfect, like a quick hit ;P ) Also, press '4' to play that guitar!!!
The Line Gets Me Everytime Because Well.. I Mean You Can See Why, Let's Just Say Life Is Great 😌
Oh my God!
The fiesty, sassy Latino Salsa drum/trumpet break!
Come on everyone up and dance to the wicked Rhumba Flamenco Groove!
I CHE WA WA! ENDELI ENDELIE
One of my favorite drum pieces. A master class.
men pass the W
TBT next week , for shure. When ? Late in the Evening , of course.
came here while learning the awesome Mozambique drum beat which the great, great drummer Steve Gadd plays the living h*ll out of in this very cool song .. thanks for posting..
Did you know that Gadd copied it from Eddie Palmieri and Manny Oquendo? And they ripped it off from Pedro Izquierdo, who lived in Cuba. By the time it made its way to Manny and Eddie in New York City, it had morphed into more of what Steve Gadd copied. In Cuba, the groove consisted of 12 conga drums played by five conga drummers, two bass drums, three bells, a frying pan, four trumpets, and three trombones. (Why didn't Pedro throw in a car break drum?) It debuted on television in July of 1963. And the rest is history.
Anyone who can replicate Steve Gadd and this awesome drumming deserves PROPS-my fave 80’s Jam
It's July 9 2024 and Yes I am jamming on a Tuesday evening Paul is music i grew up on and it brings lots of good memories!
If you don't move to this song, you're dead! Awesome rhythm.
