I was reading the thread about Simon never doing Senortia With a necklace of tears live. How about coming up with a list of all the other songs,self written, that he has never been known to perform on stage?I am struggling already!!

Bodo had something similar to this on an older version of this site, it had many songs that hadn´t been played in the last ten years or so and you could vote for ehich you would most like to hear on the next tour.

I think the idea was to send it to Paul´s office becuase a similar one was sent asking him to play in Europe and he did! (how much was because of the petition I don´t know but some of the venues people suggested were played at... Like Miriam´s in Frankfurt was 1 and some suggested Edinburg Castle and someone the Liverpool pops fesival and so on)

I think the top 3 turned out ot be "All Around The World (Or the Myth of Fingerprints)", "Bernadette" and "Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War"

I think Paul could play at least one capeman song in his show!

Hm, - what did Miriam suggest in Frankfurt?I don´t understand that. The venue? My opinion is that even Paul hasn´t 100% input on the venues. For every country they have a concert management company which is searching for the best venue and I think they later sign a contract with Paul´s management. But I´m sure they can´t say "We want to play in Edinburgh, Kilkenny and Montreux and Lucca..."
The tour and venues are planed on "where is a free concert hall at this time/date"

I´ve sent the list to Paul´s office - we even send a fax LOL

But I never got an answer.
He didn´t play any of the top 3 songs so I would say they ignored it. However Joey Berger wrote me when I started this poll - and he wanted me to stop it. I never understood his reasons (he wrote something like that the people in Paul´s office know about our longins..and thats it), he later didn´t reply so I also didn´t stop it.


Paul is sometimes such a yellow and huffy person (while he pretends that he isn´t and he´s just doing only things he likes) - because he isn´t playing any Capeman songs live. The people would Love to hear it, but he is doing all the best to erase the time periode between 1994 - 1998. (and also the OTP album - he never plays any of these great songs except Late In The Evening)
Only because some critics said it was a flop.

Bodo, just curious: DID you stop the poll at Joey´s request?

And what is his relation to Paul Simon/ the paul Simon office?

No I didn´t stop it. He didn´t reply again.

I don´t have a clue what his realtion to the office is, I guess his relation is better than he let us know.

That´s what I think too!
Wasn´t it him when we talked about the location of Pauls house in Montauk ( you know, the satellite pics ) who reacted so angry about that?

Here´s a nice thought: "Joey"is in fact Paul....LOL

Well, returning to Bingfrisbys original theme for this tread:

Without doing any deep background search, I dont think he has ever played:

Learn How To Fall
Think too Much (b)
Stranded In A Limousine

- am I right?

All songs that I like very much and wouldn´t mind having in a live edition...

Night Game is one of my favourites. Is there a live version of this?
