A Quiet Celebration Tour

Don't miss your chance to witness this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

So amazing after all these years

The breadth of Paul Simon’s body of work beginning in the 1960s can take one’s breadth away. And Paul performed all of his great hits, and some less-we’ll-known tunes, last night in the Portland version of his Farewell Tour. Paul has played Portland in the past, to be sure, when his hair was fuller and his voice smoother. But even in his mid 70’s, his performance last night demonstrated again how amazing is his songwriting talent, his melodies, his rhymes, and his song construction. Paul and his band played his hits with a new twist, changing the presentations from the radio versions. And this is what one wants from a concert—something new, yet tethered to the original. Paul delivered, and he continues to be amazing, after all these years. ... Read more

Great Musicians

Paul SImon was beautiful and charming. All of the musicians were fabulous!!! A wonderful night of music and nostalgia!!! We were pleased with our sears, Sec 112. We do wish people would not stand up for so many of the songs. (Paul actually encouraged dancing. darn) We took Lyft and it was very timely. ... Read more

Homeward Bound Tour

Saw Simon and Garfunkel in 2003 here in Boston and thought that this performance couldn't match that one. Thinking that a 70+ singer couldn't hit the notes he once did, and also thinking it would be a short unenthusiastic Paul...I was wrong on all counts and very pleasantly surprised. Terrific show. Terrific back up musicians. I hope his last stop on his Homeward Bound Tour is his own New York, and that it is filmed and shown on PBS next year. ... Read more
