'Today’s rehearsal is pretty laid back, spent on polishing a few numbers and having fun with some well practiced songs, ad-libbing. They played Passing Through, a song I haven’t heard since I don’t know when.'

'They played Passing Through'
Re: 'They played Passing Through'
I could have done without the opening comments - I wish Leif had kept the details to himself - but the news that they played Passing Through in rehearsals is interesting. Brings back memories of the final show in Las Vegas in December 2010 when we sang the chorus during the interval for what seemed like forever before Leonard ran on stage and sang the final line back to us.

Yes, a very emotional moment for all attending - ..... - wonderfully memorialized by Albert Noonan's video:Mabeanie1 wrote: the news that they played Passing Through in rehearsals is interesting.

Re: 'They played Passing Through'
Thanks Hartmut, for the idea!
I’ve recently posted a photo in the Picture Game with a line from Passing Through after reading this thread.
I had to do some research on the song to give a date clue and in the process, I found out a few things about it.
Seems that Leonard has sung this song in concert over 100 times. From Dublin 18th March 1972 to Victoria 30th July 1993. Now these statistics are from my own records and not official so there could be room for error. Please feel free anyone to adjust this if necessary.
.... and Wendy, maybe Leonard got the idea to possibly include this song in the coming concerts because of that moment in Vegas

Yes, Bev, I suspected you were talking about this song in the picture thread; but I wasn't sure about which line.
