3 Paul Simon BBC TV (I Do IT For Your Love)

[@mickthenick1]

Toots Thielemans died today, at the blessed age of 94. He gave the world some wonderful music, as this performance testifies.

[@gmayster01]

Bless his heart

[@hminkema]

Toots was so lucky to have this wonderful talent - and so happy to have the world listening to it. Piano players have a whole kind of mechanics in between their fingers and their sound. Violin players have a bow in between their musical desires and their audience. Harmonica players only have their tongue in between us and them. Toots was the greatest.

My brother turned me onto this wonderful version in the '70's, when it first came out. Last summer, I found this and shared it with him. "Remember this?" I asked him. He liked it so much, remembered it so well, he re-shared it with me and friends. It was our last Facebook/KZbin conversation. My brother died on August 26. I'm so glad we had this, this moment of remembrance of a great song. Thank you for posting it.

[@JoeyWeissgerber]

I was just remembering 50 ways to leave your lover as I learned it when it came out in1976...I then remembered my favorite song on the album was this one and this is the first time i heard the live version...I'm happy that you have something so beautiful to remember your brother by...

[@jeanhartely]

I remember, this was the flip side of the 45.

[@EdjKent]

What a wonderful artist Toots Thielemans was. He has left us, but the music will never die.

[@insightsmagazine5272]

brings me to tears, lost love captured in colors, sounds, words...Wonderfull sound quality, musicians in total harmony

[@MOOSEHEADstadia2024]

1970's, sun warming my face, Paul Simon and a cold beer. Nothin but the dead and dyin back in my little town.

[@nickcarmona988]

Beautiful tune. tattooed "the orange bled the blue" on my arm. brings up so much vivd imagery in my head. colors/scenes/feels

[@jessiefogarty8119]

I've considered a similar tattoo which seems like it would be a very exclusive club. Glad to know you're out there, existing.

[@johandol1885]

beautiful

[@ivyzhao3869]

hi, have you got the tattoo yet? I am also thinking of this tattoo.

[@hihosilverlining]

This still makes me cry.....in a happy sad way. This is still wonderful and moving... Youth gone...still waiting for the wisdom thing....fortunately!

[@andretremblay5344]

Beautiful version of one of his great songs.

[@marcbouille5846]

Such a wonderful song! Paul Simon, Steve Gadd, Tony Levin and Toots the magician... Speechless...♥

[@roberttemple2521]

Thank you, Toots, your shining light and music will live on forever. No thank you, Simon, you bore me to tears.

[@nancywarren7331]

It sounds like a blues number! Love the background music and the words of love. Beautiful.

[@shelleybobelly1]

play with watercolor imagery and gorgeous feeling...knocks me out every time I listen to it.

[@jimoncken6936]

Dear God in Heaven that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!

[@nicomichel2427]

Hermosamente sutil. Cada nota es un puente al cielo. Su voz es perfectamente suave. Precioso! De mis cantautores favoritos. La original del disco, y el álbum entero es muy bueno también

[@iplaybaritone]

hehe...you can see Paul smile a little whenever Toots begins playing

[@mcouzijn]

THis song coloured my first acquaintance with the songs of Paul Simon. So I was lucky. The whole 'Still Crazy' album contains perfect music for a rainy summer night.

[@blachubear]

One of Simon's best tunes and a favorite of mine.

[@dilkashahmed2466]

mine too

[@Keedeeg]

I love this song with a passion. So sweet was this performance!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@attybong]

this sure is a rare one, i love this song!!!

[@wijsman12]

Two of the worlds best musicians with one of the most beautiful love songs I know, wow.

[@参河屋喜三郎]

It was good that the Japanese TV station recorded it!

[@waeckebern5324]

Simon, prachtig… Toots : hemels !!! Ik heb ervan genoten ! 👍🔝

[@wonderlandstop007]

beautiful Paul .... one of our very best songwriters .... and in my lifetime ! ....who better to capture matters of the heart .... also in the running; Joni, Stevie, of course the Beatles, Joan Armatrading, James T ... I wonder if anyone knows if Paul ever expressed who (if anyone) this song is about ? (Carrie?) .....whenever I get to the line .... love emerges then it disappears ..... omg, what a beautiful way to reveal the song's essence ...... harmonica player thank you !

[@faustus999]

agreed this is just a beautiful song. thanks for posting this iv'e waited so long to see paul sing it live.

[@murphstrings]

Love this!!!!!!! Took years but I finally got the live single of this, from this very visit to London....it's the b side of the American single of 'still crazy'. Totally worth hunting for if you love Paul simon!

[@Paulinajtking]

This is beautiful

[@JAGUITARPLAYER]

Great, wonderful guitar work

[@Oidegger]

Could someone who has it within their means/powers finally upload the whole broadcast? It's not for me - I watched it on TV from beginning to end at the time - it's for the next generation. The entire event was almost (bloopers 'n all) too beautiful to believe.

[@RaysTrack]

Phenomenal songwriting and musicianship. And yet, I'm mainly amazed to see one of my heroes, the cool, smooth-scalped and muscular Tony Levin of Peter Gabriel and Crimson / Chapman Stick fame, in costume as Mister Rogers 🙂

[@jennyrobinson8973]

What a song - gotta love toots!

[@Doginthefog]

what an amazing album...

[@ciaranflynn1397]

A little forgotten gem of Pauls

[@tuxedo0730]

この曲聴いたの?何年前だろう？ 初めて聴いたときからずうっと 大好きな曲です。 泣いちゃいますよ、ほんと

[@shelleybobelly1]

I want to cry

[@jamminsensu]

Great video and great performance.

[@JSQband]

Amazing version. Toots - forEVER!

[@aarongoldstein7614]

Got to see Toots Thielemans play a couple of times at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston & spoke with him after the show.

[@MsSneetches]

I just got the studio version from itunes, but this is heaps better. Love the harmonica.

[@bernardfox9078]

What a superb group of songs on this show. Everything a masterpiece. PS was at his song writing peak in the 70's. Bridge gets all the acclaim but better quality songs in this period.

[@moshezarviv1252]

Totally agree .

[@anitadavideduo]

Wonderful!!

[@podfunaug30]

this is the sound of beauty

[@barrywatson5038]

Magic music. RIP Toots.

[@Doginthefog]

really thanks!!!! :)

[@samuelshepard]

him and herbie hancock did an amazing job on this one, too

[@ivanartesi5255]

love emerges and it disappears..

[@gatsbyKLoGGitz]

sa recording si toots din ng harmonica sa kanya. kasama yan sa album ng still crazy sideB.

[@Fuzzyrush27]

everything about this song is beautiful but it song reminds me of my mum and dad does anyone know where I can find a live version of night game ? :)

[@hminkema]

'Steven Gadd', 'Tony Levin' (without the moustache), and 'Toots (incomprehensible)'. Did Paul ever recognize the greatness of this song as being due to Toots' contribution?

[@DropTheHate]

In fact it's Thielemans, with an H :) My mother has te same name, hooray for Belgium!

[@nancywarren7331]

This is the saddest love song

[@mashcot]

Does he say "Tony Levin on bass"? I can't recognize him without moustache and... with hair !!

[@gargamosch]

That's good ol' bueautiful handmade music, not some shitty out of the jukebox Bieber crap. Simon and Thielemans two of my favorite musicians. Hope they'll do something together again. Garga

[@lestermann]

GREAT song, and wonderful version, jesus... where can I get the whole video???

[@laurensdeprez]

available in mp3 format anywhere please???

[@shelleybobelly1]

@shelleybobelly1 not anymore..I just listen & sing this beauty

[@tp92]

Toots Thielemans for life!!!!

[@juliodicarlo5313]

Benny Hill on harmonica.

[@Doginthefog]

what's the name of the harp man!?! i can't understand it.. :(

[@jiyujizai]

🌱😃💛🥀

[@Doginthefog]

His particular style reminds me to Pat Metheny's.. :)

[@MaxDevereauxArchive]

I hope you guys realize how fucking sick this song is

[@sam-no5qb]

Kadafi on the harmonica ladies and gentlemen
