Paul Simon
The Boxer Live Performance by Paul Simon and Sting from Together North American Tour
In June 2014, during their Together North American Tour, Paul Simon shared the stage with Sting for a live rendition of "The Boxer." At that time, Simon's most recent album was "So Beautiful or So What," released in 2011, which was well-received and showcased his continued evolution as a songwriter, blending pop, folk, and world music influences. Interestingly, Simon's career has been marked by landmark collaborations and a knack for storytelling that resonates with audiences — evident in the heartfelt nature of "The Boxer." This performance served not only as a highlight of the tour but also as a testament to Simon's enduring relevance in the music world decades after his initial rise to fame, having previously captivated listeners both as a solo artist and as part of Simon & Garfunkel.
