Don't want to add something that already has been said - to be honest, I still need time to realize what happened last friday. But two aspects caught my thinking since. The first is, that I understood some certain lines now completely different as before on the records. I don't mean, that he was singing different words. No. the words were the same, but the meaning ... I've been to many concerts, but that experience was new to me. Second is the applause to the musicians. I always did not like this kind of announcing, but this time to me it made complete sense, that Leonard showed his respect so often (as he did for the audience as well). How easy it could have been a mess, if he had stand always in the middle. Because he is so important to us, it was very bright of him to step back a little. Maybe I sound obscure, but in this way, at least for me, he made possible to understand how important his music is to me. Maybe it is not so complicated to understand, only the gifted ones can be so generous. Thanks to anyone who made it possible.
