Paul Simon and special guests, live from Rufaro Soccer Stadium, Harare on February 14th 1987

To promote his Graceland album (released in August 1986), Paul Simon embarked on a tour with some of South Africa's most prominent musicians, including Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Unable to perform in South Africa, the emotional concert presented here took place in Zimbabwe's Rufaro soccer stadium on February 14th 1987, in front of a delirious crowd of 20,000, simulcast on Syndicated US radio and the Showtime Network.

It's presented in full here together with background notes and images.
