Some friends and I went to see this Concert. It was so jammed packed and hotter than Hell. Held in August. It was worth the trip and then some. The Concert was given freely by Paul. Thank you Paul for one great night.
Though I'm from SriLanka I have made the USA my home for 29yrs and have made the pilgramage to Graceland like millions haved. I have heard of the king of rock & roll even in my country and I must say I concur w/the millions in calling Elvis Presley the King of Rock & Roll.
Okay, so this isn't important but I always wondered, is Paul wearing a toupee is he just have some kind of weird back-to-front combover? Great song either way
I like the way Paul scans the crowd with his eyes, Yes every musician does this, but Paul's eyes seam very different. I fist noticed this when watching the Paul Simon video taped in Zimbabwe

@717021 If this is a joke, its the funniest thing I've heard in my life to date. If this isn't a joke, it is the funniest thing I will have heard for the rest of my life.
I'm 30 and my Mum always played this when I was little! Graceland is my favorite album, and Paul Simon is my favorite male singer,along with Michael Jackson and John Lennon of course! :-)))
So ironic that african musicians lay the foundation for a song about graceland. And make it one the musically sophistacated songs ever performed on the subject.
42 dislikes are people who are young and don't realize Paul Simon's music was here long before youtube was for them to dislike this video. I'm only 24, but this still brings back family memories.
Thanks for your reply. The graceland album was released in 1986.
the DVD of the Concert in Central Park, which is with Art Garfunkel, was recorded in 1981, before Graceland. Is the DVD with Graceland on it have another name? I have the "Your'e the One" DVD, which also has Graceland on it. But it is not this band.
"The Missippi Delta shining like a National Guitar" The home of Elvis, and Sun Records which helped give rise to the birth of Rock & Roll (1952). " I'm following the river down the highway to the cradle of the Civil War. And I'm going to Graceland into Graceland Memphis Tennessee but, I'm going to Graceland. He is most definitely singing about Elvis home-Graceland in Memphis Tennessee. Poor boys and little girls of families and we are going to Graceland"
My traveling companion is 9yrs. old he is the child of my first marriage. I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland. Was most definitely going to do a concert with Willie Nelson down in Tennessee and was wondering how a New York City boy was going to be received by the folks down Graceland way. Now I might be wrong on this, I just see things in black and white and don't read much into nuance. Maybe someone can set me straight on this.
Paul is wearing "Flat Stanley." Elementary children send him on adventures around the world. Cool that he is with Paul Simon. Google his name if you've never heard of him.
This was a big concert in Central Park, New York about 1991. I wasn't there, but the concert was heavily publicized. Great song and probably the best rendition of it ever. Always remember the lyrics..."Calls herself the Human Trampoline", Too Funny! Thanks for posting!
What did I take? My mom BOUGHT it. On the back of the video it says that this was a free concert xD And 720,000 ppl attended. Wish I could have been one of them
There are lots of comments about the best singer/songwriter and many names are named. Paul Simon, John Lennon & Jim Croce, that would be my holy trinity. Best song written would be American Pie by Don McLean, and 2nd place goes to James Taylors You´ve got a friend. But tomorrow I might decide for another song. These I mentioned will however always be at the very top of my list.
If any of you guys are interested, I've written a song as a tribute to the king himself, so don't hessitate visiting my channel. Any comments are more than welcome,
I Thank my parents every day for raising me on this music. Every time I hear Paul Simon's voice it makes my hair stand up; man he's beyond gifted. Lets all go to graceland
