|  I was so free to glue together all the peaces I could find from the short October 8 concert at the Town Hall in New York. Paul played 4 fabulous songs, only companied by Mark Stewart. Also including the new version of Mrs. Robinson with the Mystery Train intro. So you hear this song now as a guitar duet without a backing band.
I have found 3 videos on the web - thanks to Paul Fournier btw - and all 3 videos having recorded different parts of the song. So you might hear some changes in the sound, and I guess somewhere a few lines are lost (tell me if you find the position ;-)
Here is the song:

| Excellent editing Bodo. I think the missing line is ´Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon´. Apart from that,it´s a truncated version,or the whole performance was not recorded. I´m probably the only person on this site never to have heard any of the existing ´boots´ of Paul´s 84 solo concerts,but this acoustic version of Mrs Robinson [with Mark] is very exciting to hear. I´d Love to see him do another tour like that,with just Mark as backup! |

| Indeed - such a tour would be fun. Or a full TV concert. You remember when that MTV unplugged thing became important in the early 90´s everyone was adapting his songs to just 2-3 accoustic guitars. But Paul came with his 12-men band. Although I like the MTV unplugged show very much, I think he could have made it better.
This Mrs.Robinson version would have fit much better to the unplugged ambient.

| Yeah,I agree Bodo. The ´unplugged´ concert Paul did was/is great,but the arrangements were really just those he had used on the BART tour. If anyone could have done justice to the SOLO ´unplugged´ principle, Paul Simon would´ve been a good bet, and would be still today. |
