Uno de los grandes saimon. La leyenda de la buena música saludos
No light show, back up dancers, auto tune, computer generated lasers, costume changes or props. Just a fantastic artist performing for the pure joy of it- how refreshing.
So very true.
Exactly.
Yes! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@fastguitar Speak English
It's possible to enjoy all kinds of performances without sneering at others.
LOVE Sir so much
Special talent to write a song at 20 that sounds good when you are 80.
I couldn't agree more. So true
Exactly
Amen
Geniuses.
Ones in a generation.
( Maybe angels in disguise )
Magical songs stay magical.
Brilliant!!
The best singer-songwriter to ever exist. We will never see another one like Paul. This is as good as music gets.
Exactly the way I felt for a long time - but was afraid to say that I truly think he is better than them all - including Beethoven, Mozart, whoever. And if they had to award the Nobel Prize to a musician, it should have been Paul Simon, not Bob Dylan.
@@sbansban Paul Simon Great American Songwriter,Mozart a musical Genius.I like both ,Mozart different era.
@@sbansban Simon-- fantastic songwriter, love his music. Dylan--was given the Nobel for the profound effect he had on his chosen medium, which has been acknowledged by not only his peers (like, for instance, Paul Simon), but his elders, as well as poets and musicians across generations. Not simply because he wrote popular tunes that you happen to like, but because he forever altered what a popular song could be. Paul Simon, no matter how much you love his work, did not do that.
You're watching a master at his craft and once this legend is gone we'll never have anything like him again.
Fortunate to have listened to these two legends in my lifetime. Life is so enriched
I visit your home friend
But what about Snoop Doggy dog?😮
Bravo
Paul Simon, old and frail these days, is still amazing. And the author of those great songs.
Paul Simon my GOAT songwriter/poet
Guy is still rocking
To have been alive and attuned to the music of Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Dylan, and so many others is a special privilege. We will lose some of them quite soon but their songs and voices will outlast the wretched culture we've become.
We've always been a wretched culture...
@@paulluchter137 Culture is something that is always changing. I believe what you're referring to is HUMANS. And yes, we have always been horrible. Sometimes, though, one may encounter incredible humans and you'll KNOW they are/were the very best of humanity... because you will always remember them. Paul is one of those humans.
Desde chile.. Un saludo grande... La voz se va perdiendo con los años.. Como la vista.. Los reflejos... Pero la calidad.. La, escencia...la humanidad... Eso está ahi... En él... Valiente y valioso... Abrazo gigante sr paul simon❤❤
Mucha razón..... 👋👋👋👋🎵🎶💜🇨🇱🎶
all the legends are now ageing....with no one to replace them....no one.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My happytears are pouring, hello mr Simon my old friend through Your music. Thanks for making Young me a pasifist decades ago☮️🇫🇮
Only 1 Paul Simon, one of the greatest songwriters & musicians of all time, Total Respect from UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Amen.
I agree. Total respect from Spain.
@@roncaruso931 Goes without saying no one else comes anywhere near the Beatles or ever will but I do totally respect Paul Simon's songwriting and contribution to the world of music, I meant musician in the general sense as opposed to technical virtuoso's such as David Gilmour etc
Uk plus f and c.
@@druidswillow1052 I think Stevie Wonder was a great musician, he played son many instruments
Great. Thanks for posting
He has given so so much to all of us.He has touched us all with his music and his words.Any of us who were listening that is.Thank you Paul Simon.
"Any of us who were listening that is." ...I see what you did there (:
Let's also not forget Art Garfunkel, both of them were great.
I was fortunate to see him and Bob Dylan in concert on a tour in 96 I think.

HERE HERE.
For someone to walk onstage, play guitar & sing & hold a crowd at 80 years old is a victory!
Once upon a time there were lyrics and poetry and it makes me sad to think we might never say the likes of Paul Simon again. Genius seldom repeats itself.
"We"...I agree we may not. The world may..at some point if it can get it's act together and survive..statistically it'll possibly happen again. Just, not likely in my lifetime but at least I had it once and thankfully recordings to live it over and over. It's a sad sweetness every time we think of it as once upon a time isn't it!
You obviously haven’t heard WAP.
there have been better writers, both before and after him. Townes Van Zandt for one. A dozen or so country guys, and John Moreland currently. Open your ears.
It was a joke. Perhaps that song in contrast to this one is an example of how far we’ve fell in terms of music quality:/

ZEITGEIST:
The defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history.
Every epoch has some.
I think we are prone to nostalgia.
i love Simon Sound
Right there is what a living legend looks and sounds like!
Oh how you have inspired in my life
I think this may be my favourite version above every I've heard.
Agreed. It’s not just a performance. It’s life.
What is amazing is he makes no attempt to sing the song the way he did originally. Instead he uses the ravages of age that time has left on his voice to give us a beautiful, unique rendition full of the wisdon, love and pain of life. It’s beautiful. Definitely a touch of the divine.
I think his voice is astonishingly youthful, and has barely changed in the last few decades.
Initially I was disappointed that he didn't sound like he once did, but than I read your comment and you're absolutely right.
I'm so glad Paul's voice relaxed into it after the first few bars: so he as he wanted to could deliver his heart and soul felt performance. See and hear Joni Mitchell likewise, at the same Newport Festival.
You are absolutely correct!
I visit your home friend
All you kids out there this is music just sit down and shut up and listen to a musical genius at work. Thank you Paul
What a festival in 2022. Simon and Mitchell... two songwriters and acoustic guitarists for the ages.
quiet, finest, the silence at its very best....
I’ve listened to this song since he first released it. And it’s still growing on me 60 years later. That’s what art is about.
Thank you, Paul Simon, for all the moments of joy and peace of mind you have created and given to the world. It means more than you can imagine.
Wow..this song belongs to.Paul Simon..thankyou it is brilliant..than the rage added a sound..of this world into your song!! Wow..I love this so much
He never sings a song without getting inside it and loving it.
yes yes yes AND he never sings this song the same wsy twice.He never did.
@@Pwd-advocate It’d be nicer to hear it done more like the original.
Paul was the hero of my college years, his lyrics opening doors in my mind, opening my eyes to the conditions of the American people and the lives we lived back then. He is my hero still, all these years later. Paul Simon has a great soul and a tender heart.
Yes, he is mine too and always managed to catch him when he comes down to Australia. He epitomises the lost America of kindness and gentility as well as magnamity unlike the prevailing ethos in that country of causing wars, mayhem and death.
@@hangtuah888 Exactly right. My favorite is "A Dangling Conversation." Poetry.
@@robertodebeers2551 he has catchy tune & others with Deep meanings
This song will never grow old, remains forever in human beings.
Wow paul simon im bieng a fan of all the years.. i love you..❤❤❤❤
A tremendous songwriter.
He seems just overwhelmed by grief in this video.
Don't think he enjoys performing this particular song.
He should receive the Nobel prize for poetry. A genius.
Paul was, indeed, a genius. He was the Emily Dickenson of our green age.
This epic song is more important now than ever. Paul Simon, you are a gift to humankind.
Danke💞
You can be absolutely proud of what you have done, Mr. Simon.
Your voice is not anymore what it used to be, but this is even more intense that way. Please play play and play until the last song. The world need real artists more than ever.
"thank God for you Paul Simon" is just perfect
On his tombstone will be etched..."the Sound of Silence."
I'm crying just thinking about it.
It’s one of the songs I’ve chosen for my funeral, sounds morbid I know but I don’t want anyone else choosing the music which I want…
It’s beautiful
A treasure, a living treasure, a world heritage...
Paul keeping that lost art of entertainment alive...God Bless him.
Timeless. Always thought his guitar playing was underrated.
Beyond underrated. It always amazed me why he wasn't considered a " acoustic" guitar God. I know George Harrison admired his playing. Be safe fellow music man.
Scarborough Fair is a fine example of Paul’s underrated guitar skills.
In the world of musicians, he is very well respected as a great guitarist.
Mrs Robinson. Great opening riff and great fills throughout. Love ‘At The Zoo’! Hamsters turn on frequently.
He is definitely one of the best acoustic guitarists.
Incredible writer, composer, musician. Off the charts, great.
Unique in every way. People this intelligent don't come around often. Unbelievable talent.
I visit your home friend
🥰 Thank you Paul for beeing, playing and singing. V&Z from Czechia
Such a marvelous performance So natural and appealing. You are wonderful, Paul Simon. The best of all the rest. ❤💐⭐️
The world would not be the same without this song. Brilliant and forever the best melody ever! Thanks Paul and Art! This song will never die!
Great song, no doubt, but ? no fucking balls Paul Simon says dr Mengele Fauchi shiting in their vaccines and cia bioweapons covid 19
Top 3 45 record I played as a young kid
And the flip side was homeward bound
PAUL, sigue cantando Idolo - Abrazo - Angel - Argentina 🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐❤️
No words. Just deep gratitude for your music, accompanying me throughout my life, comforting, holding and loving me with all the gentle power and grace that emanates from your words and melodies. You have no idea how much the gift of your sacred presence in my life through your music has meant to me. What a soul! Namaste Paul Simon. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your authentic presence in this world.
Honest to God. There isn't a person in this world that doesn't like this this song at least once in their life.
A national treasure.
International too!
This is gold
Beautiful god bless him
80 years old. But it's still Paul Simon in all his brilliance. This performance was just breathtaking.
Those words.. sound of silence... still amazes after all the years. So much meaning and content in those three words.
Man that gave me chills. His voice has his unmistakeable quality, albeit aged. Yet not without a power undimmed by age.
it's such a big difference compared with Hyde park concert 4 yours later; covid'nightmare has olded and nearly killed old people and even youngest;-((
His fragility makes the impact of this song even more significant
My whole life from high school to being 68 passes before me.
Yes.
I know what you mean Iwas thinking the same thing.
Even a couple more years than that for me.
I'm 70 years old, I'm with you brother I have a tear in my eye. Don't know what you got till it's gone, Good memories though
Same.
Best Song Ever
Absolute legend it’s hard to believe that this song was not liked originally and caused them to split were people listening with deaf ears this song is up with the greatest ever written from a group that will forever be timeless
This song didn't cause them to split. Simon recorded a song on his own without Art knowing, and that caused the split.
I visit your home friend
I first heard Paul sing this in England in the sixties. Then I heard Paul sing this in the eighties and 2000s. I'm so pleased to hear it again
This song… this song….This Song!! …. has guided so many out of deep despair of ….. countless tragedies…. That Woman is so right: “Thank God for You Paul Simon!❤”….
My favorite song as a kid. Never realized at the time that music would not get any better. Nothing exceeds this.
Hello Caren how are you doing
Scientifically speaking, brains tend to 'freeze' around songs they love at about 11-14 years old. This effect fades slowly til the late 20s, after which most songs don't create near the same emotional effect of songs from previous decades. So the music of today is equally good. Your 'fossilized' brain just can't hear these songs objectively. Also, this particular rendition of Sound of Silence is pathetic. He'd barely get applause at a rural open mic. But that's a topic for another day....
Nathan, tell me why my 11-year-old daughter, a music loving piano player of some considerable talent, has zoomed in on old acts and finds nothing to like in modern pop music.
Great song but ruined by this rendition Paul is well out of tune, he has reached well past retirement age
One Man and one Gittar ! Thank you for all Mr. Simon !
Been a fan since the beginning, everything, everytime, all of it. Love this man and his amazing talent.
Nunca vai deixar de ser meu ídolo. Renato (Brasil).
Paul Simon is the absolute MASTER of songwriting, and his guitar playing is AWESOME. There is no one who wrote like he did, and he didn't need one or two themes like "war" or the "civil rights", he sang about everything and all of his songs have incredible meaning.... He is simply the MASTER. 💚💚
The beauty of life encapsulated in a soul stirring performance. What a gem.
Ahhhh... I don't think I'll ever know how not to love this person. I love to see him sing like this. It's like receiving happiness as a gift...🥺
This makes me proud to be a human.
What a treat to hear Paul Simon play again. Thank you Amy!!
I am always surprised at what an accomplished guitarist Simon is. At age 82!
like Joni's "Both Sides Now,'' this may be my favorite performance of the song...
One of the greatest songwriters and singers in this world. 👏👍❤️
Paul you are timeless..love the hair...love u doing this amazing song that keeps giving
.as u do..cahoots b7ddy
Paul is the absolute greatest songwriter to ever shine upon the universe. The 59th Street Bridge Song(Feeling Groovy) is my favorite.
A timeless minstrel. Travelled 1000 miles to Toronto to see him. Timeless...
The one and only. The ultimate songwriter and performer. One of the greatest musicians ever.
He wrote things that will likely live forever and stand the test of time.
And the world stands still, time suspends, until the last chord. Music is magic
I love how everyone is quiet and listening. We don't want to miss a thing.
Arguably the greatest songwriter of the 20th century
we all are so drawn to a Man that does everything from the heart especially when it comes so obvious and out in the open.
What a life!
The old man singing to all of us. The song was a tour de force with more meaning now than ever due to an aging voice.
I am old and understand that time decays us physically, however, the heart and soul remains strong.
God bless you, Paul Simon! ❤️
We slow down but our ailments and symptoms get faster
Since 1965 or so I have heard this song maybe a million times (more like a hundred thousand, I guess) from Mr. Simon (and others) in every version he has ever done. It has not gotten old yet.
stirs the soul. thank you for sharing this. wonderful to hear paul simon reinterpret this song today with his mature voice... after first hearing it back in the 1960's. a song that lives within all these years.
I am from India
I first heard this song , when I saw the movie " The Graduate " , in the sixties
Never knew the group
BUT THE SONG STUCK IN MY MIND , AND IN MY LIFE . I WAS A FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE
WHAT AN ARTIST
THANK YOU SIMON
THANK
I did not realize he was 80. It’s wonderful to see and hear the artists we grew up with.
How are you? so sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
Wonderful, just wonderful. I love this guy, he may not be be your typical fungi but he remains true to himself, even more so at the age of 82. God bless ya Paul.
My Mom had all the S and G albums and my sisters and I cut our teeth to the Sound of Silence. Thank you Paul and Art! The Mortons
Respect Sir.
How are you? so sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
I have grown up with Paul Simon. Gosh. I was at the Central Park (New York City) concert. People were in trees listening. There just are not words to describe his amazing music and poetry. He truly has a magic.
Still his guitar and this amazing song sound as brand new. Thank you lots Mr. Paul Simon. For the joy, Your voice always awesome.
Thank you Paul Simon. Thank you poster.
what a great musician 😌😌😌
it couldn't be more beautiful ,, lyrics written 60 odd years ago as a young man...................; the tune , voice & timing now sung by an elderly troubadour a whole lifetime producing the most beautiful melody's thank you Mr Simon
Thank you for all Paul Simon
Legend of an artist! The reason I finger pick when playing my guitar is because I heard his songs as a kid,so I learned a bunch of his songs,took me a while,but so rewarding!!! Thanks for your music Mr Simon! 👌May it continue go live on and inspire young and old musicians and people with great taste in music for ever!!❤🇬🇧
Wow! At 80 Paul is undiminished. That was a superlative performance.
You are the god of music to my soul....
Once he got his vocal relaxed the vocals were beautiful and perfect for Paul's age. Just beautiful
So polite, daisy
