Paul Simon and George Harrison Perform Homeward Bound Live on SNL

Venue: Saturday Night Live Location: New York, New York, United States Date: November 20, 1976

In November 1976, Paul Simon graced the iconic 'Saturday Night Live' stage with a stunning live performance of 'Homeward Bound,' featuring the legendary George Harrison. Just prior to this, Simon released his highly acclaimed album 'Still Crazy After All These Years' in 1975, which marked a pivotal point in his career, showcasing mature songwriting and introspective themes. During this period, the depth of Simon's craft was evident, as he blended personal narratives with universal truths, keeping listeners deeply engaged. It’s also fascinating to note that this collaboration with Harrison came during a time when both artists were navigating their post-Beatles identities, creating a rich tapestry of musical history right in that moment. The performance remains a cherished slice of nostalgia and showcases how the friendship between these two rock icons brought out a unique blend of talent and emotion.
