By December 2011, Paul Simon was riding on the success of his 2011 album "So Beautiful or So What," which highlighted his enduring lyrical prowess and ability to blend diverse musical elements. This live performance, recorded at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, showcases Simon's masterful storytelling seen in classics like "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."
