Paul Simon Live Performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water in Oslo
In the live recording from Oslo in 2016, Paul Simon was deep into his career, having just released his album 'Stranger to Stranger' in 2016, which showcases his continual evolution as an artist. This album received praise for its unique blend of genres, including folk, world music, and modern sounds—proof that Simon keeps pushing creative boundaries. Notably, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' which he performs here, was originally made famous by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970. By 2016, Simon’s live performances had become a canvas for both nostalgia and exploration, with a setlist that often reflected his expansive catalog. The Oslo concert was part of his farewell tour, adding an emotional layer to the experience for fans as he connected intimately with his audience, leaving a lasting impression of his incredible journey.
