Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Paul Simon and Sting

Just got back, 1:00 in the morning, from the Paul Simon and Sting concert, 8,000 people in the audience.

I have just one word: FANTASTIC

If the tour is still to come your way try not to miss is, you will not regret it.

I will try to post a few photos tomorrow.

In the mean time here is something to get you interested. The final song of the concert.(13th Feb 2015, Sydney Australia)

They played at Perth recently - ticket prices were stupid so I did not go but heard great things about the night (and some good music from near by )

If you go to see Sting you should expect to get stung.

Peter - shouldn't have gotten on TM tonight.
Seeing this has led me to check tour dates, schedules and flights...thus I've bought tickets for my older sister(a huge Sting fan) to fly from Wash, DC to Paris(where she studied abroad for a few years) and see him on the 4th. Should be a spectacular surprise! Just wishing I could experience it with her!

As the NME so succinctly put it, "Sting, where is thy death?"

I missed it

That sounds like we are in for quite a treat, we have seats to see them in Manchester early April.
We have seen Paul Simon a couple of times and he was superb but I would give anything to see him and Art Garfunkel in concert.

Worthers +8

The two together are greater than the sum of their two parts, if that makes sense. To see them live from the sixth row centre was really such a privilege. They transport all their own equipment, backstage the electronics involved is just mind blowing, the huge directional speakers render a sound that is just right, not to loud.

Obviously the Simon and Sting are the stars and one has to envy their energy but they are accompanied by the most incredible group of multi talented musicians; a guitar play that plays a drum duel with another drummer (there are three drum kits on stage), The guy with the long hair that plays violin like the devil himself, and also plays brass and other instruments, fantastic guitarists, the support singer with voice that an angel would envy, and so on.

I asked if they were planing an album or a DVD and was told that it was not in consideration. What a shame! I would buy an official live recording as quick as a flash.

We were told that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are still friends but that Garfunkel has unfortunately voice problems and is unable to sing the way he used to.

Here are a couple of videos taken by other people.





There are plenty more from various concerts if you search on YouTube but it is not the same as being there, particularly the sound quality.

I did not take a lot of photos. I would rather watch and listen to the performance.
