From what we´ve read and heard, it would say it´s likely that these songs will be played on the tour:

The Afterlife
Rewrite
Questions For The Angels
Love in Hard Times
Love is Eternal Sacred Light
Crazy Love Vol. II
Peace Like A River
Vietnam
Mother And Child Reunion
Here Comes The Sun

Make of that what you will.

Paul has mentioned in an interview that he won´t be performing You Can Call Me Al or Me and Julio Down By The School Yard on this tour.

I´m not sure which other songs might be dropped. I hope Kodachrome is, I don´t think it has ever sounded good live.

Will he play something from S+G also ? It will be our first Paul Simon concert and without any "Hits" it would be dissapointing for my father coming with me....are there any informations ?

Greetings

Hello Christian,
I´m sure he´s going to play "The Sound of Silence" and "The Boxer". In 2008, he stood alone on the stage and played "The Sound of Silence" - he seemed to enjoy that; and he knows that the people like the Boxer, so you surely won´t be dissapointed!

Just out of curiousity (and because I must have missed it): Where and when did he say he won´t perform YCCMA and Me & Julio?

Nick from Widnes England writes:

I would include in the set list

Cuba Si- Nixon No
Mother And Child Reunion
Duncan
The Late Great Johny Ace
My Little Town
Citizen Of the Planet

I hope a DVD will Be produced as tickets seem to be expensive and these smaller venues sell out too quick and what´s left are expensive seats.

As far as I remember his interview, he didn´t say that he won´t play Al and Julio. But He said, that he is going to play songs he either never performed live so far, or in a long time. So this years tour won´t be a best of show like the ones in 2006 and 2008 where he only played 3 or 4 songs from the Surprise album. Remeber 2000, there he played seven songs from YTO. So I´m sure he will play more songs from SBOSW which I would appreciate. Bernadette would be on my wish list, like many other songs as well of course.

He said in Uncut magazine that he won´t be playing You Can Call Me Al or me and julio but will be playing most of his new album, Peace Like A River and Kodachrome.

I just re-read the Uncut interview and couldn´t find the mention of not playing Julio or Al, but he definitely did say that a while back in some interview somewhere. The mentions of playing Crazy Love and Peace Like A River are easily found, but I just can´t find the article where he excluded those two.

Wherever it was, I remember him saying he would prefer not to play "You Can Call Me Al" so really anything is up for grabs. He also said he could even just play whatever song he feels like at times. With such a talented band, I´m sure he´ll be doing this a few times.
