Lyrics:
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
#PaulSimon #StillCrazyAfterAllTheseYears #Live - Hudba
I lived across the street on that nights concert. I bought a few bottles of delicous chilled red wine and grabbed my high power vinoculars and I heard and saw clearly and loudly this entire concert for free that night in 1991. I still get chills remembering each song he sang. How many of your favorite big singers will come to sing outside your window ???
Excellent version. Turning 72 next week- a lot of my Peers are gone now, but still " I would not be convicted by a jury of MY Peers. Still crazy.. stil crazy.. still crazy after all these years" ❤ 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
72 like you. Amen brother. Do we still have any peers left?
I just found out about this pearl while watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and I'm so glad I found it! Beautiful!
Me too 😅
Same here
A most beautiful song and one of the greatest ballads ever written. The saxophonist was incredible and the keyboardist is the Gospel Truth! Still an amazing song after all these years. Thank you, Paul Simon, for making real music.
I agree 100%. The genius of this man is so inspiring. I sit at my piano for hours just playing his songs and he touches my heart while he taps all the bases from jazz & blues to classical, folk, pop & world music and always with class and musical elegance. He's a giant and rarely understood and appreciated as much as he should be.
It's good but maybe not of the greatest
Yes my Brother. Especially live in Central Park concert from 80's too.
Michael Brecker on sax and Richard Tee on keys. RIP to both those giants.
@@ricardo_valadezare you sure Michael Brecker is not among the greatest?
Brecker's solo just hits me in the chest every time I hear it.
So true.
Yeah man. But also all the harmonization and embellishments thru the final verse. Spot on
More than eight years later, people are still finding this classic and commenting. This may be my favourite Paul Simon song. It has always allowed me to reach back and think today that I am that more free-thinking young person I was so many decades ago. I guess I would like to think that I am still crazy after all these years.
EIN GROßARTIGES LIED UND EIN GROSSARTIGER SÄNGERB DER PAUL. ❤❤❤
A great song! What a treasure to watch the great Michael Brecker perform the solo live like that! 😢. He is missed.
One of my favorite songs of all time. That album won the Grammy. Well deserved..
Best album ever. EVER
I loved the video of you on the Dick Cavett show with a partially written "Still Crazy...". Thanks for finishing it.
Michael Brecker was fantastic on the saxophone.
He was the best.
@@saxman7131 Ever
The GOAT
Absolutely AMAZING !!!!
Probably single-handedly the best tenor solo of any song ever. Just phenomenally executed.
Paul Simon - Absolute and total musical genius. Wow, the keyboard player is out of this world exceptionally talented. I've never heard anything as good as this.
Fender Rhodes piano has a such a beautiful sound to start with, and this guy is an absolute virtuoso.
@@bullwinkle428the talented Mr. Richard Tee (1943 - 1993)
He makes that Rhodes Piano sing. RIP.
"but i would not be convicted by a jury of my peers"...is still the greatest single line ever written in a song....
Equalled I suggest by “He puts on aftershave, to compensate for his ordinary shoes.”
Wonderful Song!
When I tell you I clap like I was in the audience every time I watch this video!
I love it so much! Ladies & Gentlemen, Mr Paul Simon!!!!
No one can say that Michael Brecker hasn’t invited pop saxophone / smooth jazz saxophone
I was there... you changed my life Paul, I became an eternal fan, and I'm still crazy. Happenstance that my host & I were in NYC that day. Couldn't have asked for a better day with my best friend.
This song seems so easy to you... but to so many it mean so much. I hope you know that.
Thank you for being there for us all. The memoriiiies🎵🎶
I met Michael Brecker in Tower Records in Glasgow in the 1990s . He signed a new CD for me. His solo here is too beautiful for words.
Outstanding!!! Still gives me chills after all these years!
Ditto JF. Peace & Love, JE
2019

Awesome band! All talented in their own way.
This is one of the best versions of this song! But the best one was the one i heard live a couple of years ago when i heard him live.. Ohh Mr Simon, you are truly a great musician!
62 and still crazy after all these years....
Seen you in London Paul........Brecker still kills me listening to his genius! RIP Big Man ....your solo beats Baker Street and any others....a musical talent that will not be matched ...ever!
I just realized this is your channel Paul. I just wanna say... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
One of most musical songs ever written...:-)
One of the greatest song writers in my life. A thinking man’s musician. Absolutely brilliant! The accompanying musicians are outstanding.
RIP Richard Tee on keyboards. He was amazing.
Saw it on SNL. Best SNL ever. Miss Gilda and some of the departed players.
When Simon dressed up as a Thanksgiving turkey LOL and sang this awesome tune = Still love it!
wow, that saxophonist is an absolute fucking beast
Michael Brecker.
No one could ever do justice to your comment about Michael Brecker. Greatest sax player that ever lived
@@DJM626 apart from Sonny Rollins...?
@@iainmasterton2While I like and respect Sonny Rollins, hands down Breaker was the most versatile saxophonist that ever lived. He's played and recorded all styles of music exceptionally well. Not just one genre
and Coltrane
This song was on my dad's funeral slideshow. It was perfect. ❤
I would have this song on repeat and I would lay in bed 🛏 thinking about the woman who I'd been longing for. I'm still crazy about her after all of these years .
I totally understand. I'm hear while thinking about a man I used to know, I'm still crazy about him after all these years
Always loved to hear the interlude on the old SNL shows. Timeless
Thought that was Every time you walk into the room. Maybe that was Letterman
Paul Simons top 3: Bridge over troubled water, Sound of silence and Still Crazy
Bridge, Love Me Like A Rock & You Can Call Me Al. :)
Could go forever with this, but that's as good as take as any.
Simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
1980 I was in New York, the New Trade Center was still there. It was a live performance at Central Park at that time.
😭💞 Nostalgic 😢...I Love this song and Paul 😘💝 greetings from New York 😘✌️🗽💞
Major chills at the brass/sax solo moment!
love Paul Simon music!!!
So many songs by Paul that are brilliant and beautiful!! Thanks Paul!!
*I'm still crazy after all these years Paul Simon (53 so far)!*
One of America's greatest. Just superb.
I always loved the lyric "i would not be convicted, by a jury of my peers'. I s'pose I'm still crazy, after all these years. Wooooh still crazy after all these years.
Best concert ever!
Brilliant artist!
Sanborn s effort is close and brilliant but doesn t Brecker just absolutely nail that. !!!!!! BOTH sadly have left us🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭
Another Paul Simon classic.
Still Crazy After All These Years echoes the lonely people in the world.
one of those sings that catches you in the throat ..
Damm Paul, Still crazy after all these years. AMEN...
Yes, this concert does scream
90's, but I love it.
Simply the best singing a timeless song - thank you, Paul.
Nice, I caught this concert on tv the other day.
Timeless are you Paul Simon! Great music ALWAYS! Central Park is beautiful. Rode around it in a horse drawn carriage with my Momma. Listening as well to street performers. Music always in our hearts.
that was Michael Brecker who recorded the solo sax in the record, and now he is in this video.rRIP Michael
The BEST lad in the band is Paul Simon though, he’s music will be classics in the future. Nowerdays he is writing more.. chambermusic. He’s a genious❣️
// Gundega 66
Gundega Vilemsons His music is classic BOW.
I was listening to Simon and Garfunkel in Vancouver Canada when I was 13, my friends were listening to Metallica. I listened to music that I liked, not what everyone else was doing, I still like simon and garfunkle and feeling old now at the age of 47 and having bipolar I really empathise and relate to this music, I dont think I understood the lyrics back then but I do now and the music I have always loved.
The Fabulous Richard Tee on keys....none better.
yeah, his fills are so warm and wonderful
His playing always seemed like flowers opening up to the time signature of any given song.
His playing always seemed like flowers opening up to the time signature of any given song.
Still one of my absolute favorites of Paul :D
When I heard Michael Brecker on this performance I just ran to listen! Amazing!
Still a great ballad.The Sax is amazing ❤
Incredible writing and singing Paul!
So cool to hear the audience singing along in the first verse!
I Love Paul Simon! That's all.
Michael Brecker was such a genius. He left us too soon.
As an instrumentalist, Brecker was as close to flawless as you can get. 😊
The whole band was. Steve Gadd was flawless, which is why I never really warmed up to him as a drummer. I assume that Tony Levin is on bass here, as in the original. I mean, how do you ever play better than that? But I found the performance (of maybe my favorite song ever) kinda static and lifeless. Paul's voice was providing the bare minimum energy for the song.
i think you'll find he was flawless
There's Michael Brecker, then there's everyone else. He invented that New York sound copying black gospel music; using overtones, bending altissimo notes, weaving in and out of the blues in pop music. Mike's hero was a harmonic master and technical genius, John Coltrane. I once heard Mike in an interview, and answering a question about the amount of time he spent practicing. Like Charlie Parker, and Coltrane- Mike said; he used to practice 12 HOURS per day. He then said he wasn't a very nice person during that time and cut back on his practice regimen. No surprise that Paul Simon would want him here, given Mike was on the original '75 recording. The late 70's early 80's time period happens to be my favorite of Mike's career. You can hear the energy, exploration, and fire in his playing during this time. I always felt he mastered playing funk, rock, pop, and fusion. Nobody else can touch him in those genres. Yes, the God given talent was there, but also was the discipline to spend thousands of hours mastering the instrument.
Speaking of gospel - you don't get much better than Richard Tee.
What are you talking about ..man this good music BTW..all lives matter not race or skin complex
Well said.
Have always loved this song, and album. I miss him as my neighbor. 😕 Lived nearby me for years. Don't know where he moved to.
This was over 30 years ago. A man can go insane wondering where all that time went...
I remember my brother and i was pregnant 7 . Months in concert with my sister for brother. He love your music that time
When I was young this was one of my favorite songs. I liked so much thinking it was about not worrying about getting older because a lot of good things come with it. About old lovers meeting and still having that spark and spirit of fun. Also as a Gen Xer I swear it feels like they played this song every other Saturday Night Live sometimes, LOL. No but really, now that I am 47 I have run into old lovers. I realized I was the one to grow up and change. Turns out I'm not so crazy after all these years in a lot of ways. I never would have guessed.
I was always the romantic when everyone else was the cynic, believing in true love, soul mates. I still do, am not cynical or bitter, but a lot wiser and happily deeper. I don't chase after some golden time with lovers. I cherish the time I live in now, instead. As in I don't need old days to make me feel alive again in that way. I do love reminiscing with friends, and family, about the childhood, teens, 20s, but not lovers I bump into. I think it's because I have a habit of tying everything up as much as possible so I can move on. I never liked loose ends in books or ambiguous endings. I leave those kinds of endings in real life for other people lol. I don't leave loose strings laying about. I cut threads and ties, though more subtle at it than Alexander and the Gordion Knot, I suppose. Interesting how old songs bring out all these thoughts and emotions.
such a great song
I met my old lover on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled
And we talked about some old times and drank ourselves some beers.
Still crazy after all these years.
Oh! Still crazy after all these years.
I\'m not the kind of man who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
And I ain\'t no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Oh! Still crazy after all these years.
Four in the morning
Cramped out, yawning
Longing my life away
I\'ve never worried, why should I?
It\'s all gonna fade.
Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars.
I fear I\'ll do some damage one fine day
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Woah! Still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years
Nice to hear how you finished the song Simon. 👍
Wow. Still crazy after these years indeed
Thanks, Paul. I shared this today. It suited my mood.
