Paul Simon

Before this live recording in June 2018, Paul Simon released "Stranger to Stranger" in 2016. This album, filled with eclectic sounds, showcased Simon's continued evolution as an artist while incorporating diverse elements like electronic music. By 2018, Simon was well into his farewell tour, aptly named "Homeward Bound," which reflected not only a retirement from extensive touring but also a deeply reflective phase in his career. Fun fact: the song 'Rene and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War' itself is a whimsical nod to the surrealist painter, showcasing Simon's love for art and his ability to weave storytelling into his music. This live performance at the RDS in Dublin was steeped in nostalgia, reminding fans of Simon's profound impact on folk and rock music over the decades.
