This is a long concert, almost two hours, but it's an excellent one filled with a lot of very good songs. Paul Simon's post-Simon & Garfunkel sound is a little different: a mellow sound but still with a beat. Some songs feature a quiet guitar, some have drums and other percussion instruments you wouldn't normally associate with the old Simon & Garfunkel sound.
For me, the best part of this concert are the first eight songs, most of which I was not familiar with before this concert. The best of those eight, to me, was "Train In The Distance" with some wonderful solo guitar work by Vincent Nguini. The latter is just one of many African musicians who back up Simon. In fact, most of the band is from somewhere in Africa. There also is a pretty darn good jazz saxophonist named Michael Brecker. Anyway, with a pro like Simon you're going to get top-flight musicians.
There are 22 songs in this concert and only three I didn't care for: "The Cool, Cool River," "Proof" and a horrible version of a great song "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." Hey, 19 good songs out of 22 is still a good percentage of winners!
