Paul Simon initially announced his farewell tour in 2018, marking what many believed to be his final performances. However, in 2023 he released a new album titled "Seven Psalms" and launched a new tour, including multiple nights at the Disney Concert Hall. This tour provided fans a chance to reconnect with Simon, featuring both new material and classic songs from his extensive career. The final show highlighted his skillful performance, opening with a series of songs from "Seven Psalms," which presents a thoughtful reflection on late life.
"Seven Psalms" belongs alongside David Bowie's "Blackstar" or Johnny Cash's "American Recordings" albums in the canon of wide-lens looks at the mystery of late life.
The set opened with a full run of "Seven Psalms," a short yet profound song cycle in which a dense, ornamental acoustic guitar figure recurs over several songs in an intimate valediction.
