The tour will support Simon’s new album “So Beautiful or So What” – his first album in over 5 years. The concert is promised to include many of Simon’s favorite songs from all time. With Simon’s rich career and huge number of top ten hits and all time favorites, I think show will be a blast! Perhaps as great as this one:
