 | Does anyone actually know what songs have been rehersed for the tour? Apart from the big hits and one of two numbers from Simons solocareer. |

| Jimmie, will you hear a concert live - because you ask? Are you flying to the states?
I don´t expect them to play unusual songs, guess their greatest hits and some nice songs like Kathy, For Emily...
My question is, how long will such a concert be? In 1 hour they can play around 22 S&G songs, so for a 2 hours concert 44 songs?? Never or?
The Paramount Shows in 1993 hat 34 songs, but half of the songs were Paul Simon solo songs. |

| I think it we´ll be around 90 minutes or so.. with all of the hits plus a couple of more unusual stuff.. and 2-3 simon solonumbers..
I won´t be going to the states but I´m very interested in what they will play anyway. |

| 90 minutes for 270$
That are 3$ / minute <g>
The solo numbers are American Tune, My Little Town and Slip Sliding Away, sung by both of them - so not really solo numbers.

| I know. I meant songs that Simon did on his solo albums.. I guess they will play longer than 90 minutes.. I don´t think they will dissapoint us actually.
Everybodys fave song will be included :-)
It´s gonna be interesting to see what kind of opening number they will have. |

| any ´real´ solo songs like ´Diamonds´ or ´Bright Eyes´
Actually Paul said that he always meant that Slip Sliding Away was a S&G song (hey, someone can change his mind all the time..also after 25 years)
I guess they open with a famous song, becaus Paul always want´s to open the show with a hit to ´get´ the audience.
So it could be The Boxer or Mrs. Robinson(think this will come later with the full band) or they simply open with Old Friends because that´s the name of the tour.

| Yeah, I was thinking of Old Friends too but maybe a bit too slow to open a show ! :-) Maybe they will finish with that song.

| I also don´t want a slow song at the End
:-)
For me The Boxer always was one of the best songs to end...when the audience sings the lie-la-lie´s

| The concert in CP was over with a slow song (well, at least on the CD because maybe it was different "live") :-)

I didn´t look up any english translation book´s :-)
I just thought it could be ´lamination´ , because in German we say ´laminieren´
