We’ll write more later about the preternatural Paul Simon<\/strong> and his (and his phenomenal 9-piece band’s) powerful show at the Santa Barbara Bowl last night.\u00a0 We can tell you (based on a straw poll) that the highlight for many was Simon’s acoustic covering of George Harrison’s, Here Comes the Sun. <\/em><\/strong>It was pitch and picture perfect.\u00a0 At the end of the song, Simon looked to the heavens and voiced thanks to George (Harrison).<\/p>\n

Check out last night’s rendering of Here Comes the Sun<\/strong> <\/em>below (courtesy of Tad Wagner<\/a>)<\/strong>, followed by the show’s setlist<\/strong>.\u00a0 Other massive highlights for us were Sounds of Silence, Peace Like A River, Hearts and Bones,<\/strong><\/em> and The Only Living Boy in New York<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
