Nick from Widnes England Writes:

What if Paul and Harper where to tour together. Is this a fantasy dream or a possible reality.

Do you think this would be a good idea, if Harper opened for his famous Dad solo or for Simon and Garfunkel. I am sure that it would boost the awarness of Harper as a musician stepping out of his Dad´s shadow.

Your opinions please over to you guys!!!

I think Harper does like to perform with his Dad once in a while but not tour with him. I think he wants to follow his own route to success. And I think he is realistic enough to see he doesn´t have to compete with his dad. He can have a fine music career of his own. Harper can be more than satisfied with who he is a good musician, songwriter and a good person with his own place in life.

I like the idea of family members touring together but a lot of others do not. As far as an opening act, I do not think Paul/Art has ever had an opening act for solo or S&G. I consider Art´s appearances with Paul more in line of a guest appearance and their solos just as that, a solo performance during a joint show. I have been sad that James G. did not like music as at one point I thought Harper, James & Adrian could be together for fundraisers etc.

Paul had an opening act for his performance at Liverpool Pops in 2002.

Brian Wilson opened for Paul on one tour. And then there was that Robert Zimmerman guy, the one some people call Bob Dylan, whoever he was...

I think Brian Wilson don´t might be happy about that statement. :)
I would say it was a double-concert. Wilson played really a lot of songs.

Matthew is right, Melno Park, the London based band harper was in, opened for Paul at Summer Pops 2002... then Harper popped up on stage for The Boxer... I remember spotting him and telling my Wife ´That´s Harper!´. Then Paul introduced him part way into the song. The whole show is available in DIME:
