Paul Simon “A Quiet Celebration Tour” at Beacon Theater NYC – Concert Photo Gallery

Paul Simon brought his A Quiet Celebration Tour to New York City’s Beacon Theater on June 20, 2025. The first half of the show featured a full live rendition of Seven Psalms, his 2023 album, performed with the original ensemble and his wife, Edie Brickell. The soft tone of the set perfectly matched the intimate acoustics of the Beacon.

The second set brought out classics like “Graceland,” “Slip Slidin’ Away,” “Homeward Bound,” and “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard,” with audience members singing along and rising to their feet. Backed by an impressive band that included Gyan Riley, Bakithi Kumalo, and Matt Chamberlain, Simon closed the night with powerful encores of “The Boxer” and a solo rendition of “The Sound of Silence.”

Below are select images from this remarkable evening.
