Visiting a friend for a few days in Berlin in July, and I saw a poster up for Paul Simon concert. We went and it was great! The show was a really small venue inside an old star-shaped fort on the edge of the city; standing room in front of the stage and a small set of bleachers behind. Simon seemed much younger than he must be - his voice is unchanged. He had a great band of multi-instrumentalists and they did songs from across his career/records. He came out solo in the middle and did 'Sounds of Silence' and then was joined by one of the guitarists for 'Here Comes the Sun' - beautiful. I never would have seen him in the States I don't think, cause I dislike huge venues. This was a great unexpected treat.
