Dug out my Graceland tour tshirt and heading in to the concert now. So excited! Hope everyone has a great time!

Weird post, but I’ve been following the shows Setlist’s for a while now and every so often I see that Paul will play a song from an audience request. Last night he did Hearts and Bones, I’ve seen that he’s done Cecelia and obviously the $20 Kodachrome request which went viral last year. I’m seeing him at Red Rocks this summer and would love for him to play a snippet of “America”. I don’t want to be rude however.

Reunited with Art Garfunkel on 'My Little Town' rarely has rock sounded so sophisticated and yet so sumptuous at the same time.

Seeing Paul in Cleveland on June 15th. Looking through his setlists, they seem kinda of rough for the casual fan. It’s rare artists of this stature don’t play atleast their big hits like Boy in the Bubble, Mrs Robinson, and Call me Al. I know they get old but still feel chipped that I won’t get to hear them live.

Anyone have any insight? Thanks!

A bit of fun. Art Garfunkel lead vocals on just one PS song from every solo album he's ever done, if they were S&G albums. Which song would fit AG the most?

- Paul Simon - I think 'Armistice Day' could work.

- There Goes the Rhymin' Simon - 'American Tune' probably the obvious one here considering he has done it before.

- Still Crazy After All These Years - Going to take 'My Little Town' out of the equation here. So I think it'd probably be the title track.

- One Trick Pony - This ones a tricky one. 'Jonah'?

- Hearts and Bones - Obviously this was originally an S&G album. I'd have liked to have heard a version when Art does all the vocals on 'Rene & Georgette'. So probably that's the pick here.

- Graceland - 'Under African Skies' the obvious choice here.

- Rhythm of the Saints - A tricky one. Lots of words in this album, Paul's talky type of singing. I think probably 'Born at the Right Time' or 'Spirit Voices'

- Songs From The Capeman - 'Bernadette'?

- You're the One - 'Quiet'?

- Surprise - I could see 'Father and Daughter' here.

- *So Beautiful or So What - 'Love and Hard Times'?

- Stranger to Stranger - I'm struggling here

- Seven Psalms - The Edie tracks

I'm kind of perplexed by all the great reviews of his concert in Liverpool; I'm not a cynical person whatsoever when it comes to gigs but I really wasn't blown away by the Liverpool show. obviously he's doing great for his age, but I could genuinely barely hear anything for the entire concert, the sound levels were so low, which I know isn't his fault but it kind of ruined the whole show for me. and it wasn't just me who thought this too, I heard someone behind me say the exact same thing. I thought it was okay besides that but I just wish he would've done more s&g songs considering they were really what made his career what it is and enabled him to continue on to become a successful solo artist. just my thoughts really, but I wasn't blown away. I got the tickets as a Christmas gift and when I was told how much they were I was shocked, really wasn't worth the price imo

Anyone have any intel as to the rough stage times for Paul's shows at the moment? I am seeing him at the Palladium next week.

Saw a post on Instagram saying the Liverpool show tonight is 'no phones' with them locked away in a 'Yondr pouch' but isn't that normally advertised when tickets go on sale ??

Going to Dublin in a few weeks and seen nothing on the Arena and Promoters websites about 'no phones allowed etc

Not a fan of it, feel if you're paying that much for a ticket you have a right to be allowed take a short video/photo. Personally responsibility etc

Is anyone heading over to the playback in Glasgow tomorrow and received their e-tickets yet?
