Paul Simon - 'Slip Slidin' Away' Live Performance from The Concert in Hyde Park

Venue: Palau Sant Jordi Location: Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain Date: July 15, 1991

In July 1991, Paul Simon performed “Slip Slidin' Away” during a notable live concert at Hyde Park in London, which showcased his remarkable stage presence and connection with audiences. This performance came shortly after the release of his album "The Rhythm of the Saints" in 1990, which marked a significant exploration of world music influences and cemented his reputation as an innovative solo artist following his success with Simon & Garfunkel. The live recording captures a moment in Simon's career when he was actively engaged in blending different musical styles and reflecting on themes of nostalgia and loss—central to "Slip Slidin' Away." Furthermore, the Hyde Park concert was part of a larger tour, highlighting Simon's enduring popularity and influence, as well as his ability to attract large crowds even years after his initial breakthrough in the 1960s.
