[themangonemad]

can't stop boppin to this!!!!

[youvebeenthunderstru]

It's so fucking stupid how you can't find the studio version, thanks to wondeful youtube insisting on taking it down. Fuck you.

[Lachlant1984]

@youvebeenthunderstru The Rhythm Of The Saints album was published by Worner Music Group who don't like people posting there songs on YouTube at all, that's why you won't find the original version on YouTube, I was somewhat surprised to find this and other live versions of this song.

[crvh71]

Cool! Haven´t heard this in years!!!

Where´s the original video with Olodum?

Don´t like everything that comes from Bahia, but Olodum is PERFECTION!!!

[pkenes]

O Olodum é nosso... BRASIL

[onceadad]

The first time I heard this song, Simon commented on it...He was looking for some "Crazy Drummers."

He sure found them. My favorite song by him...Second place is...It Was Late In The Eviening.

[duncanrs]

still looking for the original video

ho hum

[johnandhisdog]

I hear you- this is a good version but the one with the Brazillian drummers is FANTASTIC!

[Fernandoandretn]

[vincendtj]

[victorlyrio]

[rabelloerick]

Great song! He recorded the original song with a musical group from my hometown - Olodum.

[kirbywordy]

@rabelloerick AWESUM!!

[novakaine12]

this is my favorite paul simon song and that's saying a lot! his music is an absolute pleasure to listen to.

[jcandy79]

I have loved this song ever since I first heard it. Incredible.

[laustererk]

I have loved this song for years even though I never had a clue as to what it was really about.

[xxrosietxx]

Did Paul sing "The Cool, Cool River" in the concert? If so could you uplaod it? please and thanks!

[GeorgiaTheJellyhead]

[cgigot]

[shutdown06]

LOL so thats where Toronto police took the intro from

[kiev2]

Muito pobre - Very poor

O Olodum é incomparavel - The Olodum is incomparable

Onde está o original? - Where is the original?

[coconut878]

You can find it at dailymotion.

Its FAB!!

[maxwellsgoldenhammer]

thanks for the tip that is truly amazing

[laflogin]

Good version but... that one with Olodum drum´s is awesome... i can´t find it in youtube

[maxwellsgoldenhammer]

omg those drums

where is the original video ?

[BrokenneckYgor]

it's obvious, child! PS's lyrics seldom make a lot of sense, but that's OK

[1goodvibrations]

does anyone have the original video with all those drums?

[Aristodama]

Love those drums!

[Drrummer]

"All those drums" are Olodum. They are a very famous Samba band. Check out some of their own videos. If you want more stuff like them mail me for suggestions.

[1goodvibrations]

great, thanks, i'll let you know!

[cindyshealed]

Contact me, I'll send it to you.

[igglezphan]

Great soul, great artist, and great song. Maybe he could get a few more percussionists in there next time! :-)

[BrokenneckYgor]

Sonny Liston loved the lyrics

[JohannaEm]

One of the best songs to listen when driving on a sunny day...windows down volume WAY UP!!!!

[BrokenneckYgor]

Reminds me of the Inquisition

[cindyshealed]

The greatest short man in the world.

[Drrummer]

better than Danny De Vito or Wee Man from Jackass ?

[cindyshealed]

I love Danny DeVito very much. Don't know Wee Man, though I saw a few installments of Jackass. But, Paul Simon has written a number of masterpieces and enchanted me from age 7 forward.

[misbfra]

Paul e' demais!!!!!!!!!!

Olodun, nem se fala!!!!!!!!

So' podia mesmo ter saido essa musica fantastica.

[tiffanycameille]

Oh yes! There're playing my song!

[marrocd]

no tiene ma.......gracias paul

[wolfwing1]

this is by far one of my favorite songs :> Especially the bongo drums....:>  Really great in the MV.

[mincklem]

i thought beating drums was...kind the point...

[Thealchemist44]

I love drums, You can't beat them

[Rasputiy]

mongo say need more drums!

[meedermaid]

amazing CD...it's hard to follow up GRACELAND, but he did it beautifully. I think it's more poetic than GRACELAND

[majadahonda]

Looks (& sounds) like a pro recording was this ever out on VHS, DVD or any other far east format?

[jonahlevin67]

Fantastic!! Was this an open air show? Any idea of the audience size at this gig?

[AdrianSuh]

I'm not sure where/how I got these videos, but it(Tokyo Dome Show) was aired to public in Japan, other "Osaka" show also aired through radio. I have no idea for audience size, but officially Tokyo Dome can seat more than 50,000. And it might be sold out concert.

[youstink239]

nice drumming m8 u rock

[AdrianSuh]

I agree, although there's only few drummings compare with Central Park concert, it's very amazing sounds effect.

[slightlygrouchy]

You ROCK, dude! This song has so much to say. It centers me. And it gives me strength. Thanks a million for posting this.

[AdrianSuh]

Dude, thanks for your comments.

[thenoseymethod]

I'm a Paul Simon devotee, and I think his album Rhythm of the Saints is his most perfect.  Great video too!

[AdrianSuh]

I agree with you. This tour is pretty much perfect, in terms of sound arrange and performance.

[cindyshealed]

Oh, yes. My Rock and Roll friends ridicule me for loving that side of Paul, but it's as natural as breathing for me.

[maxwellsgoldenhammer]

paul is much like mark knopfler for his collaborations , nothing ridculous about either of them

[cindyshealed]

I was only saying I have Rock and Roll friends who like only rock and roll....no world music vibe about them. Thus, they don't always understand my other leanings...

[maxwellsgoldenhammer]

I got what you were saying , you should try living in toronto we have the united nations of music here you can get almost any world influence you want

[cindyshealed]

It's everywhere....duh. Thanks for telling me where to live.

[jaitenmaini]

awesome................all the way

[AdrianSuh]

Me too. Thanks.

[wmddn]

everything about this video is awesome i come on every now and then listen to the videos

[AdrianSuh]

Thanks, wmddn. I don't gonna delete this.

[wmddn]

good music love this song anyway dont remove it

[AdrianSuh]

Thanks, wmddn.

[briggaplease]

dude! I love this song!  the CP version hits harder, but it's gone so this'll do. thanks for posting it.

[aerodinamicista]

fucking youtube copyright overlords!!... but yes.... this will do :-)

[AdrianSuh]

Thanks for your comments, but please don't say F-words. ;-)

[julierand1]

i love this song the percussion is awesome

[AdrianSuh]

Thanks for your comment.

[KillMeNow1990]

Thanks for putting this up. It was annoying that they took down the legendary Central Park version.

On another note, it's funny that they zoom in on Gadd at the beginning. He seemed to be having fun playing with that drumline. Gadd doesn't smile much, it's cool they caught him.

[TheBobcatChannel]

Fuckin amazin! Thanx, dude. I'm a fan of Paul Simon.

[AdrianSuh]

Thank you dude.

[wmddn]
