Paul Simon made an improbable return to a Milwaukee stage May 17 for the first of two concerts after retiring from touring in 2018 due to hearing loss. Simon performed with up to 13 musicians in Milwaukee, including his wife Edie Brickell, with perhaps three times as many instruments, but the band was restrained in volume, the sound mix immaculate.
