Review : Last Saturday June 3 BBC Radio 2 aired a 58 minutes program with the concert that Paul Simon actually recorded at Bloomsbury Theatre, London last May 25, named Live & Exclusive for BBC. Paul and his band did a really great performance, utterly perfect, including new versions of some old hits like Diamonds and especially You're The One. He sang 4 songs from his new album, Surprise, being remarkable his singing of Outrageous, Father & Daughter and Wartime Prayers, that closed the show.

Review : Paul Simon wowed fans with a secret show before delighted fans in London last May 25 night. The star premiered his new album 'Surprise' at The Bloomsbury Theatre in the West End. He played four tracks from the Brian Eno-produced record - 'Outrageous', 'How Can You Live In The Northeast?', 'Father And Daughter' and set closer 'Wartime Prayers'. And Simon, backed by a four-piece band, treated the lucky punters to a host of hits from his entire career, including the Simon And Garfunkel classic 'The Boxer'. There were also three cuts from his Grammy-winning 1986 album 'Graceland' - set opener 'Diamonds On The Soles Of her Shoes', 'The Boy In The Bubble' and the title track 'Graceland'. The show was recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 2. It will be aired at 9pm on Saturday June 3.
