Leonard Cohen In Concert--WOW


Leonard Cohen is one of my favorite artists and my wife got us tickets for my birthday present. The concert was at the WAMU Theater in Seattle. The acoustics were great and the lighting was spectacular. Mr. Cohen was in fine voice (OK I know its all relative). The arrangements were wonderful featuring the bandura, a mandolin type instrument which really complimented the tunes. He sang all the greatest hits and has incredible stage presence, literally skipping on stage to start the show. We attend many live shows a year, but I think this was the best concert I've ever attended. If you get the chance don't miss this one. The man is 74 years old, so this may well be his final tour.

I saw an interview with Leonard Cohen once. The interviewer asked him why he always looks so serene and somewhat stiff when he sings. He said: "I can't dance". Hilarious.
