Truly an amazing show.
Me and friends arrived all the way from Israel to attend it, and it was definitely worth it.
Here's a video of "In My Secret Life" performed in this show:

CONCERT REPORT: Prague, September 27
Re: Praha, Sept.27-2008
I remember now another little story from the concert. The show almost over, Leonard said: "They told us Prague was a beautiful city, but we didn't know HOW beautiful it was. We won't forget this evening." Of course, the hall went crazy at that.
I know, it may look as just a phrase, a term of endearment towards his audience, but there was such an electricity in the hall that evening, such a rapture, that I still tend to believe he meant it and that the concert was somehow memorable for him, too. Probably he didn't have a clue how many ardent fans he had here

Hi,
I wouldn`t like to be so meticulous but Leonard said:
"We heard it was a beautiful city but we didn`t know how
beautiful it was ...."

Yes,after my first visit in Praha I must agree with him completely.
I bought tickets for Praha when there was news that Leonard
wouldn`t play here in Poland. And later when concerts in my
country were confirmed at last I wanted to sell those tickets.
Happily there was noone who wanted to buy them and I went
to Praha. This way it was the best concert and the most beautiful
city I have ever seen.
Sometimes the fate is the best director , but only sometimes.
Kaz,
PS. The beautiful performance of Hey,That`s No Way To Say Goodbye.
