This beautiful 33 minute continuous piece of music was heralded by the press worldwide - the Guardian called it “a masterful suite” and Times of London “a remarkable album.”  After a brief intermission, the show continues with many of Simon’s classic hits and some rarely, if ever, performed pieces, all lovingly and newly arranged specifically for this tour.Seven Psalms was recorded on entirely acoustic instruments and performed predominantly by Paul.  Simon often says the listener completes the song, and he was eager to expand the experience into the live forum by performing this intricately layered work in intimate rooms with pristine acoustics.
