Paul Simon<\/a> v Praze uk\u00e1zal velice sympatick\u00e9, a\u017e staromilsk\u00e9 p\u0159edveden\u00ed sv\u00fdch skladeb. P\u00edsni\u010dk\u00e1\u0159 spolu se svou po\u010detnou doprovodnou kapelou \u010d\u00edtaj\u00edc\u00ed v\u011bt\u0161inou dev\u011bt, ale m\u00edsty i deset dal\u0161\u00edch \u010dlen\u016f p\u0159ipomn\u011bl, \u017ee d\u0159\u00edve se na koncerty chodilo jen a pouze kv\u016fli hudb\u011b. Ne \u017ee bychom u\u017e dnes podobn\u00e1 vystoupen\u00ed neza\u017e\u00edvali, ale ve\u010der v jeho re\u017eii uk\u00e1zal, \u017ee v pokro\u010dil\u00e9m v\u011bku opravdu nen\u00ed t\u0159eba konfet, oh\u0148\u016f nebo stroboskop\u016f, abyste se do\u010dkali ovac\u00ed vestoje. <\/p>\n

Rozm\u011brn\u00e9 p\u00f3dium Kongresov\u00e9ho centra tak z velk\u00e9 \u010d\u00e1sti zaplnila hradba \u017eiv\u00fdch n\u00e1stroj\u016f, k jejich\u017e plnohodnotn\u00e9 identifikaci kolikr\u00e1t nemus\u00ed sta\u010dit ani absolvov\u00e1n\u00ed hudebn\u00ed \u0161koly.

To v\u0161e, v kombinaci s vesm\u011bs statick\u00fdmi muzikanty, zap\u0159\u00ed\u010dinilo, \u017ee z vizu\u00e1ln\u00edho pohledu to – zvl\u00e1\u0161t\u011b ze zadn\u00edch \u0159ad – moc velk\u00e1 pod\u00edvan\u00e1 nebyla. Ale jen bl\u00e1zen by \u010dekal n\u011bco jin\u00e9ho. Podobn\u011b ostatn\u011b vypadala i Simonova posledn\u00ed n\u00e1v\u0161t\u011bva<\/a> v O2 aren\u011b a nen\u00ed pochyb o tom, \u017ee st\u0159\u00eddmost byla p\u00edsni\u010dk\u00e1\u0159ov\u00fdm z\u00e1m\u011brem.<\/p>\n

„D\u00edky moc za ovace vestoje!“ prohl\u00e1sil vtipn\u011b hudebn\u00edk v\u016f\u010di sed\u00edc\u00edmu publiku, kdy\u017e prvn\u011b p\u0159i\u0161el na sc\u00e9nu. \u00davodn\u00ed, asi \u0161estiminutov\u00e9 zpo\u017ed\u011bn\u00ed nakonec vy\u0161lo kr\u00e1sn\u011b, proto\u017ee jakmile kapela dohr\u00e1la album „Seven Psalms“ z roku 2023, kter\u00e9 tvo\u0159ilo kompletn\u00ed a slovy nijak nep\u0159eru\u0161ovanou \u010d\u00e1st programu, na hodink\u00e1ch sv\u00edtila p\u0159esn\u011b jedenadvac\u00e1t\u00e1 hodina. Skoro jako by to takto muzikant od za\u010d\u00e1tku zam\u00fd\u0161lel. <\/p>\n

Patn\u00e1ctou a zat\u00edm posledn\u00ed s\u00f3lovou studiovku dle sv\u00fdch vlastn\u00edch slov napsal o Bohu a nahr\u00e1l coby koncep\u010dn\u00ed album, kter\u00e9 by poslucha\u010di m\u011bli vn\u00edmat chronologicky jako p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh a poslouchat ji nep\u0159eru\u0161ovan\u011b od za\u010d\u00e1tku do konce. P\u0159esn\u011b takto ji Simon v Praze i p\u0159edstavil, a kdy\u017e dokon\u010dil sv\u016fj \u00favodn\u00ed monolog, v n\u011bm\u017e zavzpom\u00ednal na svou prvn\u00ed n\u00e1v\u0161t\u011bvu v roce 1990, kdy se setkal s V\u00e1clavem Havlem, u\u017e jen hr\u00e1l a hr\u00e1l.<\/p>\n

Slovo p\u016flka dostalo kurz\u00edvu z toho d\u016fvodu, \u017ee po p\u0159est\u00e1vce nep\u0159i\u0161la dal\u0161\u00ed p\u0159ibli\u017en\u011b t\u0159i\u010dtvrt\u011bhodinka hudby, jak by mo\u017en\u00e1 leckdo o\u010dek\u00e1val, n\u00fdbr\u017e v\u00edce ne\u017e dvojn\u00e1sobek.

Druh\u00e1 \u010d\u00e1st programu tak nab\u00eddla tak\u0159ka plnohodnotn\u00fd koncertn\u00ed set, v n\u011bm\u017e do\u0161lo jak na ob\u010dasn\u00e9 hity nejen z reperto\u00e1ru dua Simon & Garfunkel<\/a>, tak i na r\u016fzn\u00e9 raritky a dlouho nehran\u00e9 p\u00edsn\u011b. „N\u00e1sleduj\u00edc\u00ed skladba pat\u0159\u00ed k m\u00fdm nejobl\u00edben\u011bj\u0161\u00edm, je ale tak\u00e9 dost dlouh\u00e1.

P\u0159esto se v\u0161ak po prvn\u00edm ze t\u0159\u00ed koncert\u016f nebude mluvit o nich, n\u00fdbr\u017e o kapodastru.
