Recorded at McCaw Hall in Seattle during the Quiet Celebration tour in August 2025, it documents Simon’s return to the stage in small, acoustically minded venues after building new live arrangements for music that was first conceived as a continuous, contemplative work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat context gives this set its shape. The concert opens with the full \u003cem\u003eSeven Psalms\u003c\/em\u003e sequence, preserving the piece’s reflective, interconnected character, then widens into a carefully chosen survey of Simon’s catalogue. Rather than leaning only on obvious hits, he places songs such as “Graceland,” “The Late Great Johnny Ace” and “The Cool, Cool River” alongside deeper cuts, which makes the set feel less like a victory lap than a fresh reading of a long career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat comes through most strongly is the intimacy of the performance. Source material consistently points to new arrangements, attentive listening-room acoustics and a close-knit ensemble, all of which suit the quieter, more intricate writing of \u003cem\u003eSeven Psalms\u003c\/em\u003e while also casting familiar songs in a warmer, more conversational light. For anyone curious about how Simon translated one of his most meditative late-period works to the stage, this is the useful part of the story: it is both a live premiere and a broad, thoughtfully sequenced portrait of his songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3xLP, Stereo, Black Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded live at McCaw Hall in Seattle in August 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the first complete live performance of \u003cem\u003eSeven Psalms\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003ea surprise and a revelation\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2023\/may\/21\/paul-simon-seven-psalms-review-five-stars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classical\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP 1 Side A                       \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
