Paul Simon - America Live Performance at Rogers Arena in Vancouver
In the performance captured in the video "America (Live) - Paul Simon," recorded at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on May 16, 2018, Simon was deep into his farewell concert tour, aptly named the "Homeward Bound Tour." Just prior to this, he released the album "Stranger to Stranger" in 2016, which showcased his continual evolution as an artist, blending elements of world music and innovative sounds. It's interesting to note that Simon's career spans decades, and during these live shows, he often reflects on his vast catalog, bringing a mix of nostalgia and fresh interpretation to his classics. The live rendition of "America" is particularly poignant as it resonates with themes of longing and identity that have been central to his work. Simon's ability to connect emotionally with his audience, even during this stage of his career, speaks volumes about his craft.
