Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (from The Concert in Hyde Park) 

Those chords are just flawless.

Paul's the best song writer since Bob Dylan.

The man is unbelievable!

I see Paul Simon completely different as an adult!!! 😍

I’ve never heard the organ being played that well.

What???!!! I really remember this song . A masterpiece .STOP Dissecting it , “this and that”!!! This performance was PERFECT👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Loved this song as s kid.

Hot Hammond !!

one of the best songs of all time.

Every time I hear this (and I make sure it happens a lot), I have this wtf feeling. How come he could come up with this? But then I always remember, it's Paul Simon, the one and only, we are talking about. He already had a more than great drum intro, then an amazing chord progression combined with his excellent voice and lyrics and then add to this a huge twist (a shift from minor to major). It's not often that I can witness such awesomeness, musical excellence, and even less so in a song. Now that's exactly what he did. This song always reminds me why it's important to keep an open mind about music and to know your roots. Thank you Paul for this.

Rhymin' Simon is a treasure

This song always make me laugh 😂😂😂

When this song was topping the charts the radio station used to play it roughly about the same time everyday. Between 11-11:15 everyday in the cafeteria at school you could hear this song. Great memories. ❤

I remember this from high school! I'm gonna leave it out back, Jack! !

Some awesome live music right there !

QUEL TALENT !!!!! J'ai envie de pleurer j'aurai rêvé de les voir en concert 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

So smooth how the players keeps playing the chorus at 3:50 instead of the outro - fantastic band

Paul ANOTHER MASTERPIECE I’m just rediscovering your music and I just keep wanting more I think your brilliant much love ❤️

This is my childhood, in the back seat of our car singing away in the 70’s😁😁😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That direction at the end was epic.

Great job on the drums without Steve Gadd playing his classic groove. Wow--that was awesome

Best song for ever great

Paul Simon is DA Best!

Wow!! What an awesome job the drummer did! Steve gadd would probably approve 100 % ! Did him proud! Very, very nice! He must feel great performing that well at this level! Well done brother 🥁😎

Admired you for years. Dangling conversation shaped my poetic destiny.

I always loved that song.

Watching this video immediately after finding his performance from ‘82... No loss in vocal quality 😱😳🔥 Congrats to Paul for investing in his voice 👏🏼

This is so perfect!

This Groooove is so groovy... Steve Gadd, amazing. Thank you

Parabéns cada som melhor que o outro eu piro nas músicas deste cara 👏👏👏👏

...this song is sadder than I realized...as a youth, I only have memories of the choruses...but, after hearing the verses - this song, literally, made my eyes water

Well done❤❤❤❤❤

La batería es una joya ♥️🔥👏👏👏

Paul Simon = never ending songs

HUGE hit in the 70s and my friends & I memorized it which was tough to do. Something w the words changing slightly in the chorus. Can’t really remember. I like this jazzy live version.

still love your music

Just like that!!!!😎😎😎

Fly out of the way, Ray. Missed that.

Way too cool for school xxx

Drummer absolutely scuffed the groove on this one

Wish I had been at the concert 😢

Ready? Seygo!

😎😎😎😎😎

3:47 Sounds like the band wanted to quit early! Look at Paul pointing at them to keep going at 3:50!

Get Yourself Free!

50 ways to love your leaver!

Always reminded me of a sleepover at my White friend's home (I'm Black by the way) where we shared a bedroom and sang along to AM radio all night. Then in the daytime I wore her older sister's clothes and we rode bikes around town dressed like twins. We rode to the police station to get license plates for the bicycles like you had to do back then. We were like sisters and had so much fun every time!!! 50 ways was like a rock Dr. Suess song, and we couldn't get enough. Memories!

‘Down Under’ is very similar 🦘

The problem is all inside your head, she said to me The answer is easy if you take it logically I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free There must be fifty ways to leave your lover She said, it's really not my habit to intrude Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude There must be fifty ways to leave your lover Fifty ways to leave your lover You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free Ooh, slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy You just listen to me Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again I said I appreciate that and would you please explain About the fifty ways She said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight? And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right There must be fifty ways to leave your lover Fifty ways to leave your lover You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free Oh, you hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free Slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy You just listen to me Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free

One of greatest songwriters in history of mankind ...the Jewish people intelligent? ...yes they are ...it's okay to be intelligent ...and cool too 🎤🎶🎸🎺 ...the drumroll is ice-ning, on the cake 🎂

Gestal Couples Therapy can show you ways to make it work !

I love this track so much. Nothing will ever beat it, but, I would really love to hear a cover of it by jamiroquai or sting just for fun, you know, just to see how it would turn out.

I hate this song with a passion!!!! I was in junior high when this song came out. My name is Gus. Can you imagine how many times I heard , “hop on the bus, Gus” after the bell rang and I was walking past the line of school buses to get to my bus?

To all you young folk viewing this in 2090 - this is how real popular music is crafted, we hope you are keeping it alive & well!

I think the drummer did amazing playing this classic Steve Gadd song. You can tell he might have been the sub drummer or on the first gig of their tour because of the slight mistake at 3:42 but the recovery was flawless and most people missed it completely! Does anyone know who the drummer was because I really enjoyed his take on this song! 👍🏻🥁

Only

Sting would murder this

my ears are looking for to hear STEVE GADD in this song... Who are with me... Hope on the bus gus..

Ia that Jerry Rivera playing the trumpet?

I love this song . Thank you , Paul. But way 50 ways. Why should there be one if they are decent!

I'd liké to do liké this concert in m'y vêlage Ouarzazate because liké Paul Simone thiri'snt a loot. And aour responsabilité is to gaeve to thé future génération good culture.

Much like the Beatles melded then tore apart genre conventions (blues, rock n roll, psychedelia) and laid the groundwork for the birth of metal and AOR, Paul effortlessly blends folk and rock'n'roll with gospel and minstrelesque balladeering and is the model SINGER SONGWRITER to which every modern representative can trace their lineage. As important as Bob Dylan? Perhaps not, but almost unbelievably consistent over more than fifty years and able to experiment with form and expression without ever tipping over into 'artsy nonsense' and with an incredible arsenal of songs that are both eternally listenable and utterly relatable. He wrote a song about a comet that makes me cry, and the single best song ever written about a type of celluloid. That's genius. To avoid ambiguity, I am saying he's better than Dylan.... come at me (politely). Edit: I forgot to mention Reggae, and Isicathamiya/Mbube among Paul's influences. Ironic, given this show.

This is one of those song where the message of the song is lost to the rhythm.

Drummer looks like the Drummer brother from Stepbrothers

Dieses Lied ist ein Art der und auch Geistern

The guy calling for an extra chorus and the band accomplishing readily enough.....

I was at the Hyde Park concert in 2018 and this isn't it. No banner over the stage and Paul wore a red tee shirt throughout.
