Paul Simon singing "The Boxer"

[RealMusicLover63]

Not one of the best performances, but quite nice

[LelouchLamperouge019]

Paul still has a lot of his voice left! It's just that those harder-to-reach high notes are gone :(

[elodie3740]

un grand chanteur paul simon

[ivanhoedrive]

the only song that i know all the words to. Sung it a million times. cant wait to see him in glasgow this June. After changes upon changes we are still the same................

[nfldman1976]

Living Legend...play on Paul, play on!

[wilburpipin]

a poet he is, a performer he is not...

[TrippingTheTube]

Paul Simon campaigning for Chris Dodd? Pretty sad. What a fool.

[rawdog42]

wtf? this is terrible.

[mark26099]

he was on holiday then and still you wankers armicanos still bothered him you tossos

[nipzilla]

This is the direct result of spending too much time with the whores on 7th Avenue...

[nathan99118]

Shut up and enjoy the bloody song

[HardRokMiner]

One of the greatest song writers that will ever cast a shadow on the planet. He is an amazing human being. Sadly, as with many like Mr.Simon he will not be truly appreciated until he is gone from us. Thanks for your great gift sir, some of us know what a great talent you truly are.

[FICHFRY]

Sorry, late to the conversation here, but The Boxer is a great AMERICAN song and to all you AMERICA haters you can KISS OUR CAPITALISTIC ASSES!

I don't piss in your goat and noodle dishes so stay the hell out of AMERICAS Apple pie.

[TheOrgoneWarrior]

@FICHFRY

If anybody on this comment is a REAL PATRIOT THAT LOVES AMERICA

Youtube: FEMA CAMPS, New World Order.

GOD Bless Everyone!

[brotherWes]

You mean the same Chris Dodd who out to be in jail with Barney Frank for destroying the housing markets?

[Chrometourm]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disreguards the rest......how true is that!!

[mattkingnz]

is that an american flag in the background??

[TVZ1]

I'm not sure. Can't quite count the number or stars on it :-p

[boxwolf1]

Why is Paul Simon supporting a Democrat?

[viharsarok]

Because Democrats rule.

[thishereguitar]

my advice to paul simon is, don't wear sunglasses on stage, ever.

[DAGSTERZ26]

Don't give Paul Simon advice. He'll be fine without you...

[jy768]

One would hope that one day great musicians like Paul Simon will realize these politician scum really don't deserve such adulation.

[cindyshealed]

Perhaps it isn't adulation, could be he's looked into the platform issues.

[indietone14]

your german right? that makes your ass NAZI

[KadaverKurt]

They must re-open the KZs for American bastards like you!

[indietone14]

ok.

[KadaverKurt]

I hate this fucking awkward flag in the background! Hate Americans!

[KadaverKurt]

Boring! Next time please write it in German if you can!

[indietone14]

bumsen Sie Sie Arschloch

[KadaverKurt]

Hahahaha! Very bad! You have to say: Fick dich, du Arschloch! Stupid Americans!!!! H2-Bomb for you!!!

[cindyshealed]

Ah, come on. I'm really a nice girl.

[KadaverKurt]

Sure? Vielleicht bist du auch einfach ein dummer Hippie...?!

[viharsarok]

Lmao, are you a reatarded American piece of crap?

[indietone14]

@viharsarok wtf the fuck are you talking about? i posted that shit fucking years ago you stupid cunt

[viharsarok]

Answer the question, tard. Are (were) you an American load of crap?

[indietone14]

@viharsarok why dont you suck my cock?

[viharsarok]

Because it's too small. I can't find it.

[indietone14]

Fick dich, du Arschloch!

[KadaverKurt]

Yeah!!! Shall I teach you more German sentences, stupid American bastard?

[indietone14]

sure nazi.

[KadaverKurt]

You American call me Nazi??? Hahahaha, that must be a joke! I was born 1982 ... Hahahaha, you're a fucking moron!

Du bist ein kleiner patriotischer Dreckswichser, der auf so eine Hippiescheiße von Simon und Garfunkel steht. Halt einfach dein dummes Schandmaul und geh mir nicht weiter auf die Nerven!

[virchysusi]

vuile kut duitser

[osembrtlt]

if this song were an object, I'd fuck it.

[osembrtlt]

lame

[dougiedoors]

after changes we are more or less the same...yes simon...and america isn't going to change.

[BleedForTheWorld]

things don't change; it's people that change. when the people change, even countries change believe it or not. unfortunately, no one really changes...

[mugsey1629]

I love Paul Simon but think Chris Dodd is a crook! I also hated George Bush. I wish I could afford Barrack, but I can't!

[blueticecho]

This SUCKS...... This guy needs to go to the home with Abe Simpson!!!!!

[Kelvini1337]

stfu you shitfuck

[pamlico140]

LOL... Are you kidding me dude?? I bet you don't even know who Paul Simon is... You probally think he's some ameuture singer... Huh?? Well, he's not. How many Grammies does your favorite artist have?? Paul simon- he has 13. Paul Simon is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer... He is the first musical Artist of Saturday Night Live... He has written nearly 170 songs... he wrote Bridge over troubled waters!! The boxer is rated as the 105th best song ever made according the rolling stones magazine...

[blueticecho]

Yes Sir you are right!! But did you know that if their was not a JOE SOUTH . I doubt if Mr. Simon would have made it as quickly as he did?? Im just saying this show was NOT one of his BEST......

[anythingfinn]

Paul Simon is a ledgend!

[marcejoss]

Paul Simon - songwriting genius!

[provideness]

I'am so high.....Don't bouge my high

.

[scottmeyersmusic]

Paul traveled with Sen. Chris Dodd in support of his campaign for the presidency. This video was shot at one of the campaign rallies.

[STREETLON]

amazing interpretation paul!

you got it man...

cheers

[69MC97gc]

Paul Simon singing "The Boxer" in NY,Yankee Stadium,when the one and only was honored...

[69MC97gc]

I´m talking about the firemen and firewoman,the firebrigades,the men and woman who were so brave to risk their lives.

[gmtobehere]

that was on saturday night live

[uncledave53]

That was Paul Simon. sure. and I'm John Lennon.

[itanimullitenretni]

That is paul you jackass! XD

[pamlico140]

Wow, you must really know what Paul Simon looks like!!

[lupenzo71]

god bless the american people dio benedica l'america e la sua gente from italy goodbye.

[lupenzo71]

thanks paul i love you

[woelie1900]

what is that flag doing there? how patriotic...

proud to be an american, uhummm not.

[thirteen45]

If tou don't like it here GET THE FUCK OUT!. ya damn imagrant!!!!!!

[woelie1900]

whahaha, you think i live in that beautiful country????

i come from holland, europe. I just think american government is f*cked up :D

good you have obama now, that bush has been the worst thing in history.

imagrant xD whahaha, first learn how to spell

[Daltome]

Owned.

[shirinnn2008]

I think he may be singing for the troops here. That's my explanation for the flag. I could be wrong.

[dfurno2003]

well, Paul Simon is from Newark, New Jersey. So i can see why he would choose to fly an American Flag. Besides you do not have to support a political party (even the one in power) to be a Patriot.

[itanimullitenretni]

You have to support a political party to be a patriot? That's a pretty stupid comment don't you think?

[Biorgh]

'^-^' snif..., this is you, Paul the legend

[FranklinPatriot]

11 months ago - a very very hot 100 degree day in sioux city...

[rosieprospects]

@FranklinPatriot Love this video - very real - I think he added a new verse

[IrishDaddi]

when was this?

[thevintagecloth]

playing/singing/writing...he is maybe the greatest american singer song-writer?

[Gruftputze]

Don't forget Bob Dylan ;)

But Mr. Simon is really, really great! I saw him on Saturday - the concert was perfect and he was so kind as to sign some things for us after the sound check. I'd love to go to Italy to see him again, but I haven't got the time...

[JettRink50]

Come On Paul you can do better than that?

Is this the free versian? Artie G.

[Pan3405]

JetRink50.. I totally agree. He sounds bored by the song (that he probably sang way too long!!!)..

[roseofaberdeen]

@Pan3405 and JetRink50 this is a whole other location than any other live performance with a band or an indoors live performance. This version fits the scenery perfectly, it's intimate and performed to support a dear old friend.

[Pan3405]

@roseofaberdeen ok.. i understand sorry..

[bsc349]

I wish I'd have known he was in Sioux City cuz I would have gone & seen him!!!!

[eurasianchica]

wow... I would like to see my grandpa sing like this ;-)

[tdah58]

Paul is a living legend. We are fortunate to still have him around, so enjoy his renditions on his own work however he choose.

[thurintheelf]

reminds me of America and the great country it is... this story wouldnt have happend elsewhere

[TheRehm]

Idiot.

[Nickdude6]

hey, the dude is like 65 he's is a Fuc&ng awesome poet, sing/songwriter. don;t you dare talk down on him

[RTH615]

That's strained...

[ROBERTTHESCEPTIC]

doesn't sound too pleased tbh.

[NadiaFranke]

" I do declare" ...I was a little disappointed with him singing in this video !!!

[pamlico140]

Dude, hes in his 60s, his voice shurley will not be as good as it was in the 1970s. Its strained from so much signing but that doesnt change the fact that he won 13 grammies, The boxer is the 105th best song ever made-rolling stones mag, clay aiken sang his song in the American idol final, and the same song played in idol gives back '07. Very talented!! This is my favorite song ever.

[NadiaFranke]

OK ... OK... I love him anyway !! I'm grateful for everything. It doesnt change all the facts you've mentioned above! Still I wish he could be the same forever.. that's all! Hugs from Brazil

[commanderpolska]

OK, admitted it's not his best day. But his voice is still alright. Watch his latest tour with Garfunkel. If he's got enough prep he's still rockin' pretty darn good.

[tube1827]

This song is also a reminder that not everyone's life is just bright and shining.

So it also touches issues which should be of

political interest, like poverty in a rich country.

But I must admit that it was quite strange

to see Paul Simon on a political campaign.

[gmtobehere]

it wasn't much of a campaign, dodd was out before it began

[RTH615]

My life is Bright and Shining. Your's isn't?

To bad Tube. Your life sucks?

[stuffus07]

Paul Simon is a great composer and poet.

But Art Garfunkel sings better.

[duncycnud]

no he doesn't

[jayjay100000]

Not his best performance; he almost sounds bored singing this.

[hz6761]

梗係啦, 唱左卅幾年

He sang this song for thirty years

[FranklinPatriot]

yeah, well....he was singing to 100 people. Probably a huge let down for him...plus he wasn't getting paid.

[duncycnud]

but he tooks the extra verse within

[FloBlues]

he was better with art garfunkel

[brighteyes249]

I tend to agree

[sk8rsam88]

I like to make decisons for myself but ill let Paul Simon decide who I vote for

[FranklinPatriot]

Chris Dodd...ugh....so not going to win.
