THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACTIONS dives into this incredible live performance of one of Paul Simon’s most recognizable solo songs, performed during his massive 2012 Hyde Park concert in London. From that instantly recognizable drum groove to Simon’s unmistakable songwriting style, this is a classic that has remained part of the soundtrack of generations. Originally released on Paul Simon’s 1975 album Still Crazy After All These Years, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” became one of the defining songs of Simon’s solo career. The combination of clever songwriting, conversational lyrics, jazz-influenced musicianship, and Steve Gadd’s legendary drum pattern helped make the track instantly recognizable. Paul Simon was born in Newark, New Jersey, USA, and grew up in Queens, New York. Before establishing his hugely successful solo career, Simon became internationally famous alongside Art Garfunkel as Simon & Garfunkel. Together they created classics including “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Boxer,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Simon’s solo career would take his music even further, incorporating folk, rock, pop, gospel, jazz, reggae, and musical traditions from around the world. For this reaction, we’re watching “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” from Paul Simon’s The Concert in Hyde Park. The performance was recorded at London’s Hyde Park on July 15, 2012, during the Hard Rock Calling Festival and became part of a huge career-spanning celebration of Simon’s music. The Hyde Park concert was especially significant because it also celebrated the legacy of Graceland. Simon was joined during the show by musicians and special guests including Hugh Masekela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. The concert moved through decades of music, including “Kodachrome,” “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard,” “Graceland,” “You Can Call Me Al,” “The Boxer,” “The Sound of Silence,” and, of course, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” What makes this performance especially fun to watch is how naturally the song still works in a huge live setting. There’s no need for over-the-top production—the groove, musicianship, songwriting, and personality of the song do the work. That famous rhythmic opening immediately tells you what song is coming before Paul Simon even begins singing. We’re listening closely to the live band, arrangement, vocals, groove, instrumentation, and the way this version compares to the classic studio recording. Songs like this are also a great reminder of just how diverse Paul Simon’s catalog became after Simon & Garfunkel.
