Paul Simon Live at Yankee Stadium performing Mrs. Robinson
Date: March 6, 1999
In March of 1999, Paul Simon took the stage at Yankee Stadium, bringing his classic hit "Mrs. Robinson" to life for a sold-out crowd. This performance came after the release of his album "Songs from The Capeman" in 1997, which, while not a massive commercial success, showcased Simon's continued experimentation with eclectic sounds and storytelling. It’s interesting to note that Simon had previously found immense success as part of Simon & Garfunkel, and by this point in his career, he was fully embracing his solo artistry. This live rendition reflects not just nostalgia but also Simon's ability to connect with audiences through timeless themes, all set against the backdrop of one of baseball's most iconic venues.
