thank you so much, brenda!
how did you find out? i looked everywhere - without success.
yes, he should introduce his band or at least post the names on his official website.
is there anyone we could suggest this to?

A few people (including me ) have commented about it on Paul's Official FB page but the people who run it rarely react or reply to any comments. There sadly have been some reviewers too who have mentioned it. I really do not know why Paul stopped doing it. I just know the band members from following Paul for a long time. Last time they were listed was on the booklet you could purchase at the Simon / Sting concerts. though Joel Gomez replaced Bruce Sunpie Barnes on this tour.

It's Joel Guzmán by the way who plays the squeezebox - mightily well!

Love it Brenda.

Since Paul stopped introducing the band names I could not find out who the 2 new guys are.

Still miss Tony :-( Yeah, the new guy on accordeon is good, very good and a funny person, dancing around more.


I think at the moment the only person to be introduced is Vincent, right? A little bit unfair.
I would assume that some, like Andy Snitzer, also have a big fan-base in the Paul Simon community.
I really wonder why he just stopped introducing them. Everyone has their solo, so there is time to say the name.

I also miss Tony, however the version of Still Crazy with Mick Rossi on keys is much better.

Fantastic performance of Proof from the band in Paris. Paul certainly appreciated their performance.
