The many lives of Leonard





I just saw Leonard Cohen play live with his amazing band last night. If he is touring anywhere near you GO.
It will be one of the most rewarding experiences you have ever had. At 75, he is at the top of his craft and form. He has so much energy and life in him!
And he's funny too!
What shows have you seen lately?
Did you have a live music experience that you will never forget?

This was probably the best show I have ever seen.

    i have heard some live parts from Cohen`s concerts from the radio. he really sounds a very humoristic guy:)
    and he is already 75?? a real rolling stone:)

    my music experience was a jam session some days ago, i enjoyed it a lot. there was an electric cello, a hang, a dijerideou...
    very experimental!

    I saw him live many years ago at a music festival. His lyrics are great, aren't they? Hey, that's no way to say goodbye!

    Do you also like Joni Mitchell and Al Stewart?

    I saw him at The Orpheum, Vancouver, in the early 90s. He's so tall. Women were throwing their underwear onto the stage. It was the best show I've ever attended, out of many, many excellent shows. "I was born with the gift of a golden voice"... and a dry sense of humour, too. It may not be a golden but any master can make beautiful sounds on a cheap instrument.

    Bob Dylan three years ago at our county fair. Oh, that crowd became rowdy. I think we stood up the whole time, the whole two thousand of us, in the presence of the master!

    I saw him in Antwerp, He was so inspiring, even doing a little dance at the end, which was so wonderful to see.

    when i first moved to montreal, i took myself out for breakfast. i ended up in a booth across from leonard cohen. he has a really intense presence, even when he is just eating eggs.
