Paul Simon

In the captivating live recording from August 9, 2019, at the Fox Theater in Oakland, Paul Simon performed 'René and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog after the War' during a special Outside Lands Pop-Up event. This performance came in the wake of his 2016 album, 'Stranger to Stranger,' which showcased Simon's innovative sound, blending folk, world music, and complex rhythms. It's interesting to note that this song is a gem from his 1983 album, 'Hearts and Bones,' reflecting his penchant for poetic storytelling. By 2019, Simon had already announced his farewell tour, making every live performance a meaningful celebration of his decades-long career. The concert not only highlighted his significant contribution to music but also created a nostalgic atmosphere, where audiences could relish the depth of his discography one last time.
