AFAIK the tour is over now... :-)
We got a lot of things this year, the NOJazz video, the BBCOne video, the Philadelphia radio broadcast. Much more than from 1999 - 2002.

There has been no official release like the You´re The One video. That would be nice for Christmas!

Shame the tour is over - I went to the last concert! Do you think he´ll return to do mainland European dates in 2007?

I haven´t heard that any show has been filmed - beside the BBCOne show (which IMO does not reall count as a live show, the audience does not fit....)

Yes the audience looked more like a bunch of people sat in a Starbucks. A few people tapping their feet was about the sum total of the response.

It would have been better to have filmed one of the main arena gigs where there was a good reaction. The crowd were very vocal at the NEC even if he did not sing Wartime Prayers.

At home we joked that they´d been handed vallium on entry...lol

A chosen few who don´t really care THAT much...even Paul seemed bored with the whole thing...

Yes the Bloobsbury Theatre audience, though small too, sounded more lively. People were calling out requests and cheering loudly.

That´s because there was a whole group of ampsters down on the front row !

It could have been (my really bad thoughts appear now) that it was Pauls decission to do not have any fans in that audience. No one who is clapping, cheering or singin with him - just to get a good sound. I believe that this could be the real reson.

But I personaly think this destroys the whole thing of a live performance.

Maybe that´s what the BBC wanted, Paul did a few waver attemps to fire the audience up. BTW did anyone see the man with the beard in the audience, could it be Yusuf (Cat Stevens)?

No Jocke, you did not hear that Paul will come to Austria or Hungary in 2007.

It was either a joke, or it was your misinterpretation of a message that I and a Hungarian fan will buy the tickets for the people we have met in London IF Paul will come to our country one day. (and the chance that he will come to Austria or Hungary is near to zero...)

Why would Paul say such a thing...I find that very unlikely Bodo.

Well, he asked us to sit down in London..so why not Micky?

This was the first concert of Paul Simon I have seen where the audience had to sit on tables, ordered drinks... I can not believe that he has such less influence on these things. Could you imagine this would happen to a band like U2 just because the BBC planed it? I can´t :-)
