Thank you very much... if you anyone has a good better link, would you please post it. [wxrt.radio.com]

I just read a review of this tour last week, and it said he is playing a great show, at 70 years young. Here is the review link. [backtorockville.typepad.com] I would copy/paste it, but it contains too many spoilers through out, and I know some folks dont like that.

Thank you very much

There's some really great stuff on Youtube from the iTunes festival - here's just a sample:

Reminder 9pm EST today.

I saw Paul Simon in Toronto this year. It was an honor. The show was great.

This is just one of the many great things about this site - the sharing of information that normally many of us would not have known. Thank you so much Lynd8 for giving us the scoop!

exactly, thanks again Lynd8.

I hope whatever technology they are using for this streaming tonight works on my computer without much hassles or signup nonsense. e.g. I am still delighted to have heard Paul McCrartney at Wrigley Field a couple of months ago using a street camera with sound that an IORRer tipped us off to. That was fun... and it worked without downloading anything or signing up for anything.

I was lucky enough to see him last Sunday night here in OKC. There was an issue where the soundboard die din transport from Austin so, they had to change it out. To make up for the delay, he did a four song concert in the lobby beforehand of things he hasn't been playing lately. Me and Julio, Mrs. Robinson, The Boxer and Cecilia. Look up Paul Simon Lobby Concert on Youtube and you will see. I got a hand shake and a pick from him! Great night!

Not to mention that they absolutely rocked the house for the main show.About 30 of us had a conga line going during Late in the Evening... We got a rare You Can Call Me Al(he has only played it once, from what I can find, since the tour started last month) before Still Crazy After All These Years. It wasn't on the setlist, So Beautiful of So What is a great album, for those who haven't heard it, check it out!

Lynd8, than you, it's on now, WXRT, live from Chicago.
Started with an interesting interview about his songwriting before the curtain opened.
He's in good voice and mood.

That is so awesome he did that lobby concert! Very special indeed and you were lucky to see that!
