This a 1975 performance by Paul Simon, appearing on Parkinson on British tv.
A great song, well performed by the gifted but in this video rather odd looking Simon. His guitar playing is top drawer he hardly ever looks at his left hand, and is master of fitting an encyclopedia of chords in where two would [...]
