Earlier this week Paul Simon kicked off the Graceland 25th Anniversay Tour in Dublin. For this tour Simon combines both his current touring band with nearly every living member of the group that went on the road with him for the famed Graceland World Tour in 1987. Each performance starts with Paul and his current band tackling songs from throughout his solo career before Ladysmith Black Mambazo comes out to sing a few of their songs. Then, after Homeless, Paul returns with the Graceland band, accompanied by LBM, to play a selection of tunes from the classic album.
For a taste of the Graceland 25th Anniversary Tour, here’s Paul Simon, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the original Graceland Tour Band’s version of Diamonds On The Soles of Her Shoes…
