Paul Simon

In 2018, Paul Simon was on his farewell tour, aptly titled "Homeward Bound," marking a significant chapter in his illustrious career. Just before this live performance in Pittsburgh, he had released "Stranger to Stranger" in 2016, an album that showcased his ever-evolving sound, blending elements of world music with pop. During the live recording of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Simon was accompanied by a New York City chamber ensemble, infusing a rich, orchestral depth to a song that's become a timeless classic. It's fascinating to think about how this song, originally performed in the early '70s with Art Garfunkel, still strikes a chord today. This Pittsburgh show, part of his final tour, brought nostalgic fans together, reminding everyone of the power of Simon's storytelling and musical innovation.
