(More customer reviews)Paul Simon "Live At The Tower Theatre", may be the finest solo Paul Simon concert ever filmed. This is bare bones Simon, with a four piece band, that starred with him in the movie "One Trick Pony". It is actually nice to hear the songs, without the different world music arrangements and caribbean orchestras, that plagued his live shows during the nineties. The band is made up of ex Stuff members Steve Gadd[drums],The late Richard Tee[keyboards and vocals], The late Eric Gale[guitar], and Tony Levin[bass]. These guys crank, and may well have been Paul Simons best band ever assembled. The rockin "Ace In The Hole", is one of several cuts from the much overlooked album 'One Trick Pony", and features Richard Tee sharing vocals with Simon, while pounding his gospel tinged keyboards. Other favorites include, "Late In The Evening", "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover", "Me And Julio", and "One Trick Pony", to name a few. The sound and picture quality is very good, considering that the show was recorded in 1980. The only negative, is that the concert is a tad short at 55 minutes, but this is all quality, and Paul Simon never sounded better in concert. Paul Simon along with top session men, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Richard Tee and Tony Levin, is not to be missed, if you are a fan of vintage Paul Simon.

In 1980, after several years of absence, Paul Simon returned to the concert stage on a triumphant swing through the United States and Europe. Touring with him were some of the best in the business:Steve Gadd on drums, Tony Levin on bass, the late Richard Tee on piano, and the late Erie Gale on guitar. The performance of October 7, 1980 at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia was one of the focal points on the tour and included an unsurpassed ensemble of musicians. This DVD contains special features such as a biography, discography, photo gallery, motion manuscript gallery and motion menus.
