I agree with Todd Fraise’s comment above: the range or key might be lower here than the original studio. I get it, but his voice has gotten stronger with time and smoother like Todd said. Summon was not out of tone here, different key, but solid. As Vocal cords age, they can’t vibrate as high pitch as before. And you know that. I was taking that into consideration when I made my comment. You’re a hard critic. Great performance in general 🙂

This is an extremely special version of 'The Chauffeur'... perhaps their best live version. One of the reasons for this is how tight the band is while playing it but I definitely think it is the way Simon plays the ocarina and how he improvises it (few of these extra passages/extemporisations are not even there on the actual record) and that adds to the overall beauty. 'The Chauffeur' is one of those few songs where technology meets the natural sounds in such a beautiful way.
