Paul Simon Live in Taipei Performing Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Venue: International Convention Center Location: Taipei, T'ai-pei, Taiwan Date: March 20, 2013

In March 2013, Paul Simon performed live in Taipei, showcasing his iconic track 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard' at the International Convention Center. By this time, Simon had released 'So Beautiful or So What' in 2011, an album rich with a blend of folk, rock, and world influences, which many hailed as a return to form. This live performance came at a stage where Simon was reestablishing his solo career following a period of reflection and experimentation. Interestingly, Simon's music often draws on personal storytelling and social issues, and this song wonderfully encapsulates that feel. It’s also a testament to his enduring appeal; after more than five decades in the biz, Simon continues to captivate audiences with his lyrical depth and musical mastery.
