During the first leg of Paul Simon’s 2011 U.S. tour, he thrilled hometown fans with a special club performance at New York City’s historic Webster Hall. The show was captured on film for PAUL SIMON LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY and presents this iconic artist in an unusually intimate setting. The show was recorded in high-definition by director Martyn Atkins along with audio mixed by Phil Ramone and Andy Smith and is available in three formats: 2-CD/1-DVD special package, Blu-Ray and Standard DVD.
The 20-song, 90–minute set list was drawn from his legendary career and includes several songs that haven’t been performed live in many years. “Kodachrome,” “Mother and Child Reunion,” “Gone At Last” and “The Obvious Child” are just some of the highlights as well as songs from Simon’s most recent album, 2011’s So Beautiful or So What (Hear Music/Concord Music Group) including “Dazzling Blue,” “Rewrite,” “The Afterlife” and the album’s propulsive title track. Joining Paul on the show is a stellar band of musicians including Cameroonian guitarist Vincent Nguini, guitarist/drummer Jim Oblon, pianist Mick Rossi, saxophonist/ keyboardist Andrew Snitzer, bassist Bakithi Kumalo, guitarist Mark Stewart, master percussionist Jamey Haddad and multi-instrumentalist Tony Cedras.

I love “The Sound of Silence”. I just paints such a great visual and really makes you think.
Sounds of Silence – oldie, but goodie! Love the words and the music.
Oh this would make great Christmas gift. I hope I win
I have always loved “Sounds of Silence”. The harmonics and mood created by both lyrics and music are unsurpassed.
Kodachrome
gonna be a great show
Kodachrome!
I like the Boxer because the syncopation matches the story it tells
Kodachrome makes me smile
sound of silence
Kodachrome
I want my Kodachrome!
I have always enjoyed Kodachrome and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover from hearing them so much on the radio and in movies.
Kodachrome!
SLIP SLIDING AWAY
