Paul Simon at the 9:30 Club

“Simon packed his 2-hour set with lots of classics, a couple of new songs (which sounded great), and even a couple of covers. His voice still sounds beautiful and pure; his band is absolutely stellar, and their well-placed solos and occasional jams were spot on.

Simon had just played DC’s DAR Constitution Hall a few days ago to rave reviews. But the 9:30, which holds about 1,200 people, is one third the size of DAR. Seeing him in this intimate setting was quite an experience and the (over)sold-out crowd showed him much love throughout the night.” [club D]

Like he did in Chicago earlier in the month, and will do on June 6th at Webster hall in NYC, Paul Simon played a club show at the 9:30 Club in DC on Friday (5/27). He played the larger DAR Constitution Hall two nights earlier. He played The Borgata in Atlantic City last night (5/28).

A few more pictures from DC club show, the setlist, and the popular internet video of fan Paul Fournier singing with Paul Simon on stage at the bigger DC show, below…
