Four encores, the voice of a teen angel and the charm of a Cape Clear storyteller, can someone please talk Paul Simon out of his decision to stop touring.
Though 75, this final world tour is on the back of Stranger to Stranger, Simon`s best Album since Graceland. This spine-tingling Dublin Show also featured gems like Rewrite and Dazzling Blue from his masterful Album SBOSW.
Simon maybe saying farewell, but this tour is no nostalgia trip. He is an Artist still at the height of his creative powers and his bandmates are so good they defy logic.
It is such an honour for us to be in this band, playing this deep, deep music, said guitarist Vincent Nguini....
This supernatural nine piece band, directed by Simon...delivers this unique music without missing a beat and they do it with a smile and with the oak-smoked, bourbon-soaked charme of a Vegas Showband.
Introducing Spirit Voices Simon recalls being brought to meet a brujo (Witchdoctor) in the Amazon Jungle. When he gets to the part about mind-altering root medicines, he gets a roar of approval from the front row.
Oh, you`ve been obviously been to Amazon, says Simon, then pauses. It`s funny we didn`t meet....
Long before the fourth encore, the aisles were jigging....
Simon was in jovial mood all night long...
Let`s hope that while here, he has met an Irish brujo who will draw him back here again soon. We live in hope.
