Description:

The Concert in Hyde Park," which is being released commercially for the first time, documents the band's historic concert at the 2012 Hard Rock Calling Festival. The setlist features songs from the Grammy-winning masterpiece "Graceland," which celebrated its 25th anniversary, as well as Paul Simon's enduring hits and fan favorites such as "My Kodachrome," "Me and Julio in the Schoolyard," "50 Ways to Break Up with Your Lover," and two songs from his Simon & Garfunkel days. The lineup included songs from his entire career, including two songs from his Simon & Garfunkel days. Lining up on stage were the original Graceland musicians (Hugh Masakera, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, etc.) who had participated in "Graceland" and were reunited, as well as a surprise guest appearance by reggae god Jimmy Cliff. Jimmy Cliff performed his original songs "Harder Than I've Ever Heard" and "Far Far Away River" (these two songs are included only on the DVD), and he was joined by Paul Simon for "Vietnam". One of the highlights of the film is a duet on the following song, "Mother and Child," which is accompanied by a reggae rhythm.
