On August 12, 1980, Paul Simon released One Trick Pony, his 5th studio solo album, which equaled his output with former partner Art Garfunkel. The album is best known for the Grammy-nominated track "Late In The Evening" which was a hit for Simon in 1980, peaking at #6 in the U.S. The disc would go to #12 on the Bill board charts, but a bit disappointing compared to his previous solo releases which al cracked the top 5. Simon would have another commercial disappointment with Hearts & Bones in 1983, but would bounce back with Graceland in 1986, a disc that would go to #3 on the US charts, be nominated for 4 Grammy’s winning album of the year, and receive rave critical reviews. All that was in the future, however, when Simon played Philadelphia on October 7, 1980, 35 years ago today. This soundboard recording captures a portion of that show - if anyone knows where I can find the rest, please leave a comment below the post.
