Share This:

Legacy Recordings will release Paul Simon—The Concert in Hyde Park—available in a physical 2-CD/DVD or Blu-ray package as well as digital audio and video formats, plus audio streaming—on June 9. (Pre-order here.)

The release coincides with Simon’s summer tour launching June 1 in St. Petersburg, Florida. The full itinerary is below.

On July 15, 2012, Simon and his band were joined by the original Graceland musicians and special guests to headline the closing night of the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London with a three-hour set.

Available for the first time ever, Paul Simon—The Concert in Hyde Park chronicles the artist’s concert at the festival with a career-spanning set including Simon’s solo hits (“Kodachrome,” “Graceland,” “Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard,” “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”), fan favorites and two Simon & Garfunkel classics. The concert features a reunion with the original Graceland musicians on the Grammy-winning album’s 25th anniversary, including Hugh Masekela and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as well as a surprise appearance from reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, performing his original songs “The Harder They Come” and “Many Rivers to Cross,” and a duet with Cliff and Simon on “Vietnam” and “Mother and Child Reunion.”

A broadcast version of Paul Simon – The Concert in Hyde Park is slated to air on PBS during the June 2017 Pledge Drive.
