Backstage Pass, Paul Simon, Graceland Tour, After Show, Radio City Music Hall, Satin, NOS, 1986

Five sold-out nights at Radio City Music Hall. Twenty-four South African singers and musicians performing together on a concert stage for the very first time. Paul Simon believing that music could bring people together across racial lines — and being right.
This is an original After Show backstage pass from Paul Simon's 1986 Graceland Concert Tour. Found at the Otto warehouse, very uncommon. New Old Stock, never used, pristine condition. Thin synthetic satin cloth with sticky backside, suitable for framing.
The Graceland tour was unlike anything before it. Simon's twenty-four-member group of black South African singers and musicians had never performed in a concert. They had little rehearsal. The music — mbaqanga, the swinging Soweto sound Simon had fallen in love with — was new to American audiences. And yet the audience loved it.
Graceland was Paul Simon's seventh solo studio album, released August 25, 1986. It won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1987 and has sold an estimated 16 million copies worldwide — his most successful album to date. Simon was later invited by Nelson Mandela to perform in post-apartheid South Africa, the first American artist to do so.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel met in Queens, NY in 1953 and became one of the best-selling musical acts of the 1960s before splitting in 1970. Simon went on to a distinguished solo career, earning 12 Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a solo artist and as part of Simon & Garfunkel.
