{"product_id":"paul-simon-the-quiet-celebration-concert-3lp","title":"Paul Simon - The Quiet Celebration Concert [3LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaul Simon stepped off the road in 2018, and The Quiet Celebration Concert documents his unhurried return across three LPs recorded live at McCaw Hall in Seattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tour deliberately favoured smaller rooms chosen for their acoustics, and that intimacy shapes everything here. The first two sides are given over to Seven Psalms, his GRAMMY-nominated 2023 suite, performed live in full for the first time. Heard in one uninterrupted sweep, it plays like a long, searching meditation on faith and mortality, delivered with remarkable calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe remaining four sides turn to the songbook, in reworked arrangements that suit the hushed setting. Graceland opens the second half with a gentle lilt, and Edie Brickell joins him for Under African Skies. The Boxer arrives as a singalong in waiting, and The Sound of Silence brings the evening to a fittingly quiet close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon's phrasing remains as precise as ever, and the stripped-back approach gives songs written decades apart a shared sense of perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a late-career statement from one of the great American songwriters, presented with the patience it deserves. For listeners who have followed him from Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkel onwards, it is a moving document of an artist still finding new light in his own catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763416989986,"sku":"198029812619","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Paul_Simon-The_Quiet_Celebration_Concert_3LP.jpg?v=1794324604","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/paul-simon-the-quiet-celebration-concert-3lp","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
