Review by:

This concert was truly amazing and wonderful to get to see Paul Simon back! Interesting that he used no back up singers or women on stage. It certainly worked. I loved that he had the lights go up on the crowd. I loved that the light reflected from his guitar fell on my face. I loved that he was gesturing to us with gentle graceful hands. I loved that he sang softly the songs from the past. They were the lullabys that I crave. I loved that he came back on stage three times and wished us ´sweet dreams´ at the end of the night. I wished I had met him. Iwas but several steps behind him outside the stage door (quite by accident-we were lucky to get a parking spot on the street and had to walk amongst the trucks). I loved his trucks! I love that I am on this planet at the same time as his grace and genius and that I get to absorb the truths that come thru him to us with his music. Perhaps some day our journeys will follow the same road for a time. NAMASTE - I honor the light within myself and the light within all others.
