Ha, that's gas.

Got a warning from Kym Marsh's security.

:-D:-D:-D

This Paul Simon has been on before - disappointing live performance TBH...needs more Chevy Chase!

Outta here!

Nos da!

The Emperor himself! Never trust that lad.

Anyway, brilliant love these tunes. Really love 'em!

Everything needs more Chevy Chase.

Party on WMM!

Ol' Donie

Actually, this is on the list of tunes guaranteed to cheer me up.

Yeah, the voice is a bit weak. Pity.

He has a fine back catalogue to choose from.

Saw a documentary about Graceland on TG4 a while back. It's just magic.

(Especially when it's followed by Guitar Heroes :-D)

Ol' Donie

Never liked the sound of that electric piano. Just play a normal piano, bejaney.

Edit: Sax can do one, too!

Ol' Donie

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes is a fantastic song.

I must watch out for that one ... TG4 don't repeats shows quite as much as BBC4 but I'm sure it'll be coming around again, as they say.

I bought my first Paul Simon music on cassette in Golden Discs Stillorgan, when I was about 6 years old. An uncle of mine had played Bridge Over Troubled Water on vinyl one day to keep me occupied and I became oddly obsessed by the sound of it. I'd sit up beside his record player when visiting and insist he play it repeatedly.

As I grew a little older (and clearly weirder), I used re-enact the concert in Central Park, using my Star Wars action figures to represent Paul & Artie.

I suppose the main question is...how much older!? :-D

Say it ain't so :eek:

Is this it?

Ol' Donie

Never trusted Art Garfunkel after that Bright Eyes - Watership Down episode.

Hated that black rabbit. Still do. Scared the hell out of me.

I think so, it was an anniversary special, I think.

Sorry, got distracted for a minute by the Don Johnson - Whoppi Goldberg double act for a minute.

Was of course joking about our Messer in Chief!

Ol' Donie

Didn't dig that, to be honest.

Woo, nearly guitar hero time. Think it's a good one tonight.

HeidiHeidi

Hah, came home from a frankly quite dismal night out, to find Paul Simon playing Late in the Evening.

Result!!!



(shame it's not the Central Park concert version, but hey, beggars can't be choosers)

Skid X

He's not a great man for the banter between songs. Or maybe they edited it down.

Nothing crazy, early 30's, a few years before Mum & Dad insisted I haul ass!

This was it.

Not on Youtube in its entirety methinks.

Can't beat a bit of albatross.

Oh, hang on!

Ah, you missed most of it.

Stick on one of those Graceland Youtube videos instead!

Ol' Donie

Ed Byrne on bass!

Skid X

Ah, you can't beat Hendrix.

Here comes the song change - the face on Lulu!

Crap, I did, didn't I!

Thought it was an hour earlier and I still had an hour to go :mad:

In the absence of my Central Park CD, which has completely disappeared into thin air, I've stuck on Billy Joel.... Piano Man et al will do for this hour of night

You'll miss the good stuff on here!

Albatross. Couldn't beat it. :-D

Pet peev of mine - not trimming the ends off guitar strings.

That's twice already tonight.

Twas all a bit whiny guitar for my liking when I turned it off

Is that Fleetwood Mac Albatross, or something else entirely? Should I turn it back on???

Do you?
