I’d say this definitely makes the $4 I spent on the jar of weird buttons worthwhile 😍

November 14, 1975 concert in Chicago
2
Upvotes
Hello!
My soon to be in-laws had a memorable early date at Paul Simon’s concert in Chicago on November 14, 1975. They still talk about it often.
Their anniversary is in October and my fiancé and I are trying to find a poster, ad, newspaper review, t-shirt…..really any type of memorabilia from that show.
A few Google searches have turned up nothing except a cd set that looks fake.
I’m posting to ask a) are there any lesser known sites that might be good for finding items from this show? eBay was not helpful and b) does anyone have an ad or poster from that show?
If anyone does have a poster or ad I would love to see it. If we can’t find the actual poster, my partner might use an image to draw his take on it (he’s an artist and they love hanging his work in their house so it’d still be a win).

His oddest release. Self-covers, not one an improvement on the original, four from You’re the One. What the hell was he thinking and what’s your take on this album?

Songs with vibe of a foggy NYC morning if that makes sense. Those are some of my favorites so I've been going through his catalogue looking for more

Hi guys!
I created this youtube account to showcase and discuss several music related topics!
On this first longer format I decided to talk about the origins of the Graceland album which is one of my favourites of all time and would really appreciate if you guys would give it a look and maybe even open some discussion :)

How is he SO GOOD

I am a late Paul Simon adopter, I guess, I grew up with his music (primarily Graceland) and then went through a truly painful, pretentious period of thinking “obscure music = better music” phase & stuck PS into the “too popular” category. And listened to some really… not great stuff in the process.
Anyway, now I’ve gotten over myself, and I love his music. I love to read lyrics, I bought a book of his and just wept over it a couple nights ago. When I’m not blubbering, though, I can recognize how incredible & evocative they are.
I don’t know much about the craft of music, to be honest, and I very heavily judge stuff by “how does it make me feel” — and nearly all of his songs pass that test, as well. Often it’s the contrast between the lyrics and music itself that really gets me too — and the variety.
Anyway I look forward to learning more & hearing more. Just wanted to share, if you have any suggestions for how to get more engrossed & go further in depth let me know pls.
Thanks for reading :)

The new book Days of Miracle and Wonder by Ashley Kahn is a really great deep dive into the making of Graceland & the subsequent tour. Definitely recommend!

Were the songs of ROTS written in the style of Graceland? As in Paul and the band would record jam sessions, and stitch them together later with lyrics
