Helen, that was an excellent translation on your part. I do German to English translation for a living and I am impressed with your "college German". :) The "es geht um" verb phrasing - in the last sentence - can be tricky. Thanks for posting, Tina. This was a welcome distraction...

I prefered the old style of reporting: first post is about the venue (who needs O2 London being introduced, that's another question ;-) ), then everything else. But those days are gone (as far as I remember, there were voices against those venue-related posts too). Yes Roman – that was Linda (sturg...

Apparently a woman having a Leonard Cohen tattoo is equivalent to a man having a puppy.

I don't get it. What does that mean?

16 months until Leonard Cohen turns 80, we must commence construction of the large wicker Cohen I intend to self-immolate in on that date.

I think Leonard might appreciate it more if the guy just sends a birthday card...

Oh. My. That was good. Too good. Kind of needing a cigarette myself now (or an IV) after watching that...

Great idea Scott! I'll start it with the obvious:
Lana Del Rey - Chelsea Hotel no. 2

Roscoe Beck flat on the deck with what appears to be a nasty bit of stomach flu. The band is going to have to scramble to keep the encores coming.

So did the encores happen without Roscoe?? Looking forward to reports.

I like it.

Also have to say no. The new arrangement of Lover, Lover, Lover is worth the price of admission alone. As is Anyhow. We have been getting up to 5 of the new songs (though I wish they would bring back Lullaby) and they are very well-received by audiences (especially Anyhow!) :) Things are sliding in ...

The spring North American tour starts in just a few hours at the beautiful Paramount Theatre! Leonard and band played here in April 2009 and December 2010 as well. I won't be at tonight's show but I will be there tomorrow night and CAN'T WAIT!! :) Joey Carenza posted this today: http://instagram.com...

I'd give anything to hear Memories. I hope he brings back Light As the breeze, since he wasn't doing it anymore by the time I saw him on the last leg. I'm also currently obsessed with the idea of him covering this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGUP8oc9Bgs It would be a good replacement for Sa...

I love that one Abby! In fact -it's so weird - I was actually looking for it recently, and all my searches were fruitless. As you can imagine, googling "Leonard Cohen" and "road" brings up about a billion links and pics. :roll: Going to post another pair since I'm here. :) Like: ...

What are yours? Post them here (or post links).
My favorite, though it's extremely hard to choose: Not a favorite:

Well, shucks. I'm not giving up hope though. After all, he denied music-making for a decade, and looked what happened on Jan. 8. Maybe a tour will be another surprise...

Thanks Mary! I love that!
