[Yaanon]

Leonard looks very suave in that hat. Guess they don't call him the Ladies' Man for nothin'!

[NewZealander]

whoohoo. ....he surely does look very nice!!!.......come on July hurry up!!....

Let's hope he doesn't spend too much time behind that keyboard. In 1988 and 1993 'Tower of Song' was the only song performed on keyboards, the rest were all on guitar. I suspect that advancing age makes playing the guitar more difficult - this has certainly happened to Dylan, who plays keyboards more than guitar onstage these days. A Cohen show performed mainly on keyboards, drawing heavily on songs from the last few albums, would be something of a disappointment to me.

One hand in the pocket, one hand playing a little solo on keyboard. Looking into the distance.

It has to be Tower of Song. Maybe Dance me to the End of Love

i hope he will keep that hat;) Anyhow, it's an open-air tour.

Hey, I have a hat exactly like that.... definitely wearing it to Manchester now (apologies in advance to whoever is sitting behind me )

[Paula]

Some people look really good in a hat Leonard certainly does. Very suave. I like the complete look it is perfect for him.

Why does never wear a tie (personally I hate ties) but I keep having an overwhelming complusion to undo the top button of the shirt.

Damellon I think we have been here before

[Remigius]

Refresh my memory - which song requires a gong!? "All my friends are gong and my hair . . ."? This could get interesting.

Jon

It's seems many people would agree with you there, but personally I'd love such a show. Not necessarily keyboard based, but drawing heavily from the last couple of albums (particularly Ten New Songs) would be great. If I'm honest I would be disappointed if the new songs were ignored in favour of older material. Obviously there are a couple of older songs I'd love to hear (such as Famous Blue Raincoat & Avalanche) but am I alone in wanted to hear a lot of the newer material instead of older songs?




ps - The Hat is awesome, makes me very tempted to put my suit and hat on for the special occasion (in London) too!

[Henning]

Very elegant - this man has style and grace.

[Paula]

Nick I have a preference for the older material. I suppose it depends when you came to his work and for me the older stuff is the best. Anything up to Ten New songs is my preferred choice.
