I've got 'em too. Never saw them live, but it seems so. As with all tours by folks at their level, too much $.

Paul Simon's recent albums are just as fine as ever - and clever. Worth the purchase.

I did see Paul Simon solo (w/ about 20 others on stage and all kinds of percussion. He did stuff from Graceland, Saints, and prior heavy-on-the-percussion tunes (Late in the Evening, Me & julio, etc.)

After the series of encore's, the lights stayed down. He came back, w/ only guitar, and did another hour of gentle S&G tunes alone. Serenade.

Just a few short yrs ago The Everly Bros. played the Orange County Fair. Free w/ admission kinda thing. Sit on the grass.

S&G, the E Bros - ah, the blend. The Kingston Trio (w/ John Stewart) could achieve that blend (3 as 1) Other than going back to the Ink Spots and Southern Gospel, such things are rarely heard.

The Hearing was good.
