Can't imagine the thrill to be on stage performing The Boxer with Paul Simon. Bucket list musician item.

I was there. They played Me & Julio after they went off air just for the folks in the theater, with Andrew Bird whistling away of course. What a treat

That is very cool. I saw Paul Simon at what was supposed to be his last big concert in Hyde Park a couple of years ago. It was unforgettable - as was a 2002 concert in Edinburgh which, with the Castle and the Scottish landscape all around was epic in a real sense. But in a way I envy you being there in a more intimate space. All good though, all very good. Keep safe!

I saw him in 1999, right before he went on tour with Dylan. He was testing he new band, Just him & his band in a tiny club in Philadelphia. Only 900 lucky people. $25 ticket. All ages, all sining along. Effing amazing

They say it was the best thing ever heard by a man’s ear

This group of musicians on stage here just overflow with talent.....and then, oh by the way, you throw in PAUL SIMON.... one of the most talented singer-songwriters EVER....and WOW!!! I feel this is the best arrangement of this song I have ever heard.

Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest .....that really true.

The chorus sounded beautiful and the violin playing the solo was sublime

Holy sweet baby Jesus the talent on this stage playing on of the most beautiful songs of the 20'th century, No only Paul Simon, but also Sarah Jarosz and Chris Thile. Did I mention holy sweet baby Jesus?

Chris Thile and Paul Simon are two of my favorite musicians, playing one of my favorite songs of all time.

A brilliant rendition of a brilliant song.

Is that Andrew Bird as well? What an incredible group of musicians

Yep. and nevertheless all of them much more tense then the habit

Chills... wow. Just wow. I started listening to this guys magic as far back as I can remember (prob between 1968-70). This arrangement and lineup really brings out the true essence of this song. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Truly humbled. Love, love, love this!! ✌️💞

So moving to see the young and the old working together.

@@markhelm7426 Well, I'm 64 so when I get there I'll let you know but so far it's better to be old now than young.

No words are adequate. Sublime comes close.

Beautiful. And as Janet Davis said, moving to see young and old working together with such grace.

Never seen the boys so reverent and afraid to overplay before.

Sign of excellent musicianship when they can step back from the spotlight when it's the right thing to do. Reverence indeed.

Such a wonderful Poet / Storyteller

Thanks for sharing . The words are contagious and arresting.

This was recorded in the Fitzgerald theatre

Ain't nobody better than Mr. Paul Simon, Mr. Smooth. Probably one of my top 10 faves.

Great performance. Thank you for posting !

I'm so happy to see this right now.

What an incredible ensemble!

Oh my that was wonderful!!

Very nice . Makes me smile as I listen.

Love the harmonies

My goodness :) this is so wonderful

Sweet!

Wow! This was great. Wish I could have been there...

Sublime

Magic

First heard this song on what is called a 45 RPM record (with the word 'whore' bleeped by the way). It has never gotten old.

Wow.

Sarah is the best of the best!

Camera seems to cut Sarah out of most of the wide shots.

👍💜🧡💛💚🎵🎶

Well that must have made Sarah's day...working with Paul Simon. :-)

He recovered so beautifully that it sounds intentional.

Was the hat that Paul was wearing a tribute to Leonard Cohen ?

Bob dylan the boxer😊

I missed the deep percussion hits

Nice for live, BUT....you know

I'm a huge fan of everyone on that stage and close to worship Paul Simon, however, that was without a doubt the worst live rendition of this song by Paul ever!! Sorry.

PAUL WE ARE MANY NOW LOOKING FOR JOBS! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG i WOULD SING TO HILLARY CLINTON AND HER LIES LIES LIES....
