Paul Simon's July 15, 2012 Hyde Park concert, closing night of the Hard Rock Calling Festival, is coming on 2CD/1DVD and 2CD/1BD editions. The performance spanned the entirety of Simon's career through his 2011 album So Beautiful or So What.  He welcomed to the stage original Graceland musicians including Hugh Masekela and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as well as special guests Jimmy Cliff and Jerry Douglas.  The troubadour's setlist featured many of his solo classics ("Kodachrome," "Graceland," "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard," "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"), a pair of Simon and Garfunkel favorites ("The Boxer" with Douglas, "The Sound of Silence"), plus a mini-set with reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, who performed his original songs "The Harder They Come" and "Many Rivers to Cross", and duetted with his host on "Vietnam" and "Mother and Child Reunion."  (Note that Cliff's two originals are only included on the DVD/BD, not the CD.)
