Paul Simon

Before his performance at Yankee Stadium on November 30, 1998, Paul Simon had just released the album "Songs from The Capeman" in 1997, which was inspired by the Broadway musical he wrote. This album marked a significant moment in Simon's career as it delved into themes of ethnic identity and personal reflection, showcasing his evolution as a songwriter well beyond his earlier days with Simon & Garfunkel. The live recording of "Mrs. Robinson" captures not just Simon’s iconic melodies, but also his continued relevance in the music world, resonating with fans old and new. Interestingly, this concert demonstrated Simon's enduring skill in weaving storytelling into his performances, reminding audiences of his profound ability to connect with emotions and shared experiences.
