 | honestly I think when you are there, in front of the stage everything is different and more exiting (this is in my opinion what live music should be). It´s true, You can´t judge it from that video but is also true that in this particular period of my life, just in this time, I feel myself closer to the world and ethnic sound. This does not mean that I don´t like or hate the new sound, it would only mean that I don´t fit perfectly with it NOW. Once I loved the sound of S&G, I like alot today too, but if yestarday I couldn´t stand songs like Can´t Run But, nowadays I can´t stop listen to it. Tomorrow I´m sure I will listen to Surprise and the new bootleg from morning to evening. We change and try to find music much closer as possible to our feelings, and I´m sure this is what Paul is constantly doing. (Of course, he is always ahead of us..) |

 | Lara, I understand it when people don´t like a new version, that´s their own taste but you cannot judge Boy In The Bubble in this bad cell-phone quality, like Bodo mentioned earlier.
Did anayone listen to the new versions of YTO on BBC and Diamonds on NOjazz, I think they sound great. |

| Surely Ans, this cell-phone quality can´t give me an idea of what Paul has really played. |

 | Diamonds is really great (and I imagine the cellphone versions sounds extreme horrible)
You should never judge a music track when you only have it in bad quality - to me that happened with YTO when the album first came out on the website. All these tracks had a very low quality (6 years back the soundquality of internet streams was not really good), and so I thought this album sounds not really good. I was very wrong. |

 | Paul Simon went 40 years picking up differnt sounds(Steve Gadd-Vincint N. Etc.) and tweaking his music until it almost became its own category.. It was rythmic and a smart kind of live music. Now I think he doesnt want to feel stupid at 65 so hes turned everything down a notch... |

| Have you read the latest interview BTW - he now has a 2nd drummer in the band. I´m sure the sound will be different again...and great. |

 | If he didn´t change his songs then he would like all the stale performers from that era doing their endless comeback tours and ´taking that one final bow´ without anything new to offer.
Innovation and change is why Paul Simon is the only artist from his generation with an album in the top 5 of the album charts!
No-one complains if he sings an extra verse in The Boxer!

| If you don´t change songs a little bit, You get a bit bored of them, On the OF tour the songs were changed a little bit, And it took me a while getting used to it and I like it better than before. But now I can´t really listen to Old S&G songs without comparing them with the OF songs. I can´t sing alogn as easily, There are disadvantages. |

 | The new version is not as good as the original, but it is not bad, it´s bluesy and mean, which is interesting. It´s just disappointing when you´re expecting what you already know and Love. |
