On Saturday – April 18th – Paul Simon & Sting did the last show of their ” On Stage Together” tour.
After playing the US in 2014, Australia & NewZealand early this year, the European tour ended yesterday in Amsterdam. And what a treat it was to see those two artist play with the musicians they brought with them. A night full of musicality and respect for each others ” songbook “.

They even blended well in songs like ” Every breath you take ” and ” Mrs. Robinson “. A song like ” Bridge over troubled water ” sounded as if it was performed for the first time ever. Was it always Art Garfunkel’s angelic voice that carried the song, now the song was sung with the soul-full voices of both Sting and Paul. A new masterpiece.
On Youtube you will find enough examples to listen to it yourself.
All we can now say is ” Thank you Sting and Paul Simon ” for a wonderfull tour and show.
