Iconic singer-songwriter Paul Simon continued a tour in support of Stranger To Stranger at Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday night. The 30-song performance included Paul and his band’s first version of the Simon & Garfunkel smash “Mrs. Robinson” as part of the evening’s final encore.

Simon reportedly dedicated the bust-out to the U.S. Election. Otherwise, the show featured a similar mix of career-spanning material and choice covers found at other Paul Simon performances in 2016. Paul had last played “Mrs. Robinson” last year during his tour with Sting.

Here’s the first video of last night’s “Mrs. Robinson” to surface, which was captured by Sofie Gustafsson:
