This was my fifth Paul Simon concert (including a Simon and Garfunkel reunion
concert).
The venue was the Hollywood Bowl, and I was a little concerned because the last time I
saw him there, he seemed a little lackluster; perhaps he was no longer "still crazy after
all these years." But how could I miss his farewell tour? So I went. I was not
disappointed. Paul Simon peppered the concert with anecdotal stories about his
songwriting process, and conducted his superb cast of musicians with aplomb. The
result was a series of curated selections that well represented his vast repertoire of
songs. His diction was so clear, and that allowed me to be wowed - yet again - at the
genius of his lyrics. The music itself was well executed by all the musicians, and really
beautiful. I would highly recommend this concert for the new Paul Simon listener as
well as for the aficionado. So very worth it.

AMAZING TALENT
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!!

SO AMAZING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
The breadth of Paul Simon’s body of work beginning in the 1960s can
take one’s breadth away. And Paul performed all of his great hits, and
some less-we’ll-known tunes, last night in the Portland version of his
Farewell Tour. Paul has played Portland in the past, to be sure, when
his hair was fuller and his voice smoother. But even in his mid 70’s, his
performance last night demonstrated again how amazing is his
songwriting talent, his melodies, his rhymes, and his song
construction. Paul and his band played his hits with a new twist,
changing the presentations from the radio versions. And this is what
one wants from a concert—something new, yet tethered to the
original. Paul delivered, and he continues to be amazing, after all these
years.

THANK YOU PAUL!! A CONCERT TO REMEMBER.
We knew going into the concert that we would not be able to
hear all of his greatest songs, just hoping to hear as many
songs from Bridge Over Troubled Waters and secretly hoping
for specific songs like Frank Lloyd Wright, Cecilia, I am a Rock
among others while knowing that I would hear The Sounds of
Silence, Graceland and The Boxer.
The musicians were tight and right on beat, always watching
the expert directions to further enhance the music.
My only regret is that it took over 53 years to see and hear
the talent of Paul Simon.
I figure that if your biggest regret about going to a concert
is/was that you wish it could be longer or see them perform
again and again then you have nothing to complain about,
only praise to be given to the talent, the skills, the humanity
and all around good people/ person.
Thank you again, Paul for an unforgetable evening!

PAUL SIMON AT PRUDENTIAL CENTER NEWARK, NJ
Paul Simon sounded better than ever and his back up band and singers were excellent. The concert went on for about 2.5 hours. It was a mixture of songs from him solo albums as well as his S&G days. Based on the age of the crowd, I think many of us would have liked a few more oldes. There was no Mrs. Robinson, no Cecelia, no I Am a Rock, no 59th St Bridge Song,. (just to name a few)
The venue was packed. All employees are super friendly. The Prudential Center is so much easier to get in and out of than MSG.
Great night.

UNINSPIRED :|
Too bad. Paul put on an amazing show during his SO BEAUTIFUL SO WHAT tour a few
years ago; his May 2018 Seattle concert was not that. The lack of energy at this show was
a major disappointment. While there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house at Key
Arena, it didn't seem like anybody was having much fun. Perhaps his concerts later in the
tour will be more festive and lively.
