[TwoTankAmin]

It was a lousy week capped by a very long Sunday. So, this is a tad late. This weekend features four entirely different acts which all have one thing in common despite this covering 19570 to 20114 . What that have in common is that they are all playing the same song.

"Not Fade Away" is a song credited to Buddy Holly (originally under his first and middle names, Charles Hardin) and Norman Petty (although Petty's co-writing credit is likely to have been a formality[3]) and first recorded by Holly and his band, the Crickets.
Can be played as high as 1080.)

Paul Simon's 1987 African concert in Harare, Zimbabwe, was attended by an estimated 14,000 people. Many attendees had traveled from South Africa to witness the performance, which was part of Simon's "Graceland" tour, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

Some 25 years later,

The Paul Simon concert in Hyde Park in July 2012 was attended by approximately 60,000 people. The event celebrated the 25th anniversary of Paul Simon's album Graceland. The concert also featured Simon's Graceland collaborators and many of the album's songs.

So what follows are a series of the same song played at both concerts. many of the musisans and guest stars played at both events.
