Fans who attended this show

My first visit to the Ryman, and Paul Simon performed in a concert I´ll never forget. One of the best I have attended in my 60-year young life. The accoustics at the Ryman are phenomenal; the music reverberated around the auditorium like it was playing through a set of Bose headphones.

Paul Simon is a Rock and Roll hall of fame songwriter/poet/performer. His bandmates are world-class musicians--many of whom have been playing with him for years. Anyone who is a fan of ´our generation´s´ music should jump at the opportunity to watch and hear Paul Simon in the ´So Beautiful, So What´ tour of 2011--an awesome performance by a legend and icon in American music.
