Paul Simon

In 2001, Paul Simon was at a fascinating point in his career. Having just released "You're the One" in 2000, he was reestablishing himself as a solo artist while still riding the wave of his legendary collaboration with Art Garfunkel. The live performance of "I Am A Rock" from November 30, 2001, showcases Simon's enduring lyrical depth and emotive vocal delivery, even after decades in the industry. Interestingly, this song originally appeared on his 1966 album "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" and speaks to themes of isolation and introspection—ideas that resonate universally. The Liverpool concert encapsulates not just Simon's artistry but also the strong connection he had with fans, blending nostalgia with contemporary energy, a hallmark of his live performances.
