You're the Oneis a recording of Paul Simon's intimate and critically acclaimed Paris concerts. Filmed at two informal venues in the city during October 2000, this live recording features songs stretching from his Simon and Garfunkel days (“Bridge Over Troubled Water”), to tracks such as “That's Where I Belong” from his more recent You're the Onealbum. Containing footage shot at two venues on different days the recording is predominantly focused on the stage action. Adding a claustrophobic edge to the show, but reflecting his omnivorous musical tastes and influences, Simon gathers together a diverse array of his multi-cultural musical pals. At times, particularly when the songs are less familiar, the show does drag. Sporting a red baseball cap, and not moving from the same spot on stage for two hours, Simon's demeanour and vocals do become rather irritating. Perhaps only true fans will appreciate such moments, but as his substantial back-catalogue demonstrates, the real magic resides in his intricate lyrics and rhythm.

On the DVD:although the concert footage is particularly colourful and of excellent quality there are no substantial extras. The audio content is equally outstanding, with the soundtrack available in 5.1 and DTS Surround Sound, and PCM Linear PCM Stereo. Subtitles of the English song lyrics are also available on the disc. --John Galilee
