Paul Simon Live in NYC in stores Sept. 18th!


Paul Simon News!

Paul is releasing the Webster Hall show on CD/DVD and Blu-Ray on September 18th.  The only problem is that I already own this DVD.  I got it from PBS for a hefty donation to Channel 13 for 100+ bucks.  While it’s nice to support public television, I really didn’t think Paul would ever release this as an official release, hence my splurging on the “gift.”  I am on the DVD, so now you can watch me in HD!  Read my review of this show here. 


My other problem is that this was not the best show.  There were a few flubs, and Paul Simon has done better, but if we look at the glass half full, at least we have a live release with the new band.  Now if we can only get a couple US Tour dates for Graceland??  Paul or Eddie, can you work on that please???

Here is the set list (from the internet).  While it looks like most all the songs are here, they are in a weird order.  The last final thing that makes me mad is, why can’t the distributors put together a DVD/CD and a Blu-Ray/CD package.  CSN’s Blu-Ray had a special Best Buy version that had just that, it’s great.  People want the HD video and a CD.  Don’t make us buy duplicate packages to get a CD, and the industry wonders why people pirate?  Don’t piss off your consumers!
