Notes:
Paul Simon's 2011 tour featured the maestro himself, backed by one of the best bands in the business, performing a wide range of songs from almost every part of Simon's illustrious career. The tour changed a lot as it rolled along and you never really knew what you were going to hear each night because he tended to avoid familiar favorites like "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "The Boxer" "Me And Julio" and "You Can Call Me Al". When the power went out in Oklahoma City, Simon and band performed an acoustic set in the lobby of the theater. In Memphis, he performed "My Little Town." at the Vic Theater in Chicago he performed "The Cool Cool River," in Nashville he brought Don Everly on stage to sing "Bye Bye Love." On this night at Indiana University, he brought opening act The Punch Brothers on stage for acoustic versions of "The Boxer" and "Cecilia," two Simon & Garfunkel classics that were largely missing in action on this tour. The covers are fascinating: George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun," Chet Atkins' "Wheels," Junior Parker's (and Elvis and The Band) "Mystery Train," and Bo Diddley's "Pretty Thing." What you won't realize from just listening to the broadcast is that the musicians frequently picked up other instruments and the drummer, Jim Oblon, played guitar on many of the songs (while drumming!) including on the instrumental "Wheels."
