On Thursday, May 29, 2025, I attended the Paul Simon Concert. He performed at Massey Hall, part of the Massey Hall complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The first set was themed on reflection and spirituality. Seven new songs that were Simon's interpretation of these themes. This enabled me to enhance my thoughts on these themes. It was enlightening! The second set consisted of his usual hit songs that the audience, including me, were very familiar with. There was significant interaction from the audience during this set.
He told stories and sang. It was a wondrous two hours of listening and watching Simon perform.
No photographs were allowed, as requested by Paul Simon.
Below is a brief description of his career sourced from:
Paul Simon is a Songwriter, Recording Artist, and Philanthropist.
During his distinguished career spanning seven decades, musician Paul Simon has produced an unparalleled body of work, including timeless masterpieces such as Bridge Over Troubled Water, Sounds of Silence, and Graceland.
Venerated as one of the greatest songwriters of all time and “popular music’s premier poet of the human condition,” Simon has received 16 Grammy Awards. He has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. He is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honours, and was presented the Library of Congress’ inaugural Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, which recognizes the profound and positive effect of popular music on the world’s culture.
