Paul Simon

In the summer of 2006, Paul Simon's career was pulsating with renewed energy, just after the release of his critically acclaimed album 'Surprise' in 2006. This live performance of 'Duncan' at the Pacific Amphitheatre beautifully encapsulates Simon's mastery in blending lyrical depth with captivating melodies, showcasing the enduring appeal that first emerged in his musical journey.

This concert, recorded on July 28, 2006, highlights not just the nostalgia of Simon's longstanding career, but his ability to capture a new audience while staying true to the poetic roots that define him. It’s a moment where past and present harmoniously collide on stage, drawing fans old and new alike into his timeless narrative.
