Citizen Of The Planet (1982 Work In Progress) - Paul Simon

[FallenSparrow]

Hey, do you know where I can get my hands on this song (the recent version)? I've been looking all over but I can't find any place that offers just this song and I'm reluctant to dish out for the entire live cd.

@FallenSparrow As far as I know, the only way it's available is through buying the whole "Old Friends Live On Stage" album. The album has its highlights, such as a very expressive "I Am A Rock," the only official live recording of "The Only Living Boy In New York," and for some reason their older voices work perfectly on ballads such as "The Boxer" and "Leaves That Are Green." The DVD is very emotionally expressive as well, all in all a good experience. Good luck searching, and happy listening!

This song is amazing !!!

Someone knows when Paul and Art record this song ? Because he's only on " Old Friends Live On Stage "'s album, and no more about it :)

@mwebber69 I misspoke earlier, the S&G version of "Citizen Of The Planet" (featured as a bonus track on the "Old Friends Live On Stage" album) was actually recorded in 2003 before embarking on their American tour. As far as I can tell, it was a project that had been scrapped but Art was really fond of the song and the two eventually made the recording two decades later. The version really gives off an under-produced demo sound, which is probably why I like the collaboration.
