Paul Simon

In September 2018, Paul Simon was well into his farewell tour, a bittersweet tour as he announced his retirement from touring after an illustrious career spanning decades. Just before this live performance of 'The Boxer' at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, he had released his album 'Stranger to Stranger' in 2016, which showcased his adventurous spirit, blending folk with world music influences. This album featured tracks that echoed both intimate storytelling and broader cultural narratives, making it a compelling addition to his vast discography. Interestingly, 'The Boxer' is one of his hallmark songs from his time with Simon & Garfunkel, serving as a reminder of his roots even while he explored new musical horizons. As he played this classic live, it wasn’t just nostalgia—it was also a testament to his enduring impact on the music landscape.
