if someone from the board wants to meet me in front of the Colosseum tonight, I can give them a USB drive with last nights show on it. I haven't burned it to cd, and really have no idea when that will be as I'm busy with school and such. But if someone wants the raw files on a thumb drive I can give it to them tonight. Maybe you can get it to other board members. Let me know. I'm taping tonights show as well. I got lucky last night, I was in the 2nd level mezzanine and was around a quiet group. I'm hoping for the same tonight. I'm on facebook-luke freteluco, i'm the only one in existence, so I'm easy to find.

Thanks for the pictures Maarten.

And thanks for the videos Albert.

And - has anyone yet figured out what Leonard is saying/yelling - off mic - at 4:27 in Albert's video?
I know he has been doing this regularly in this song for a while now - but so far "nobody knows?"
Well - except Leonard and UHTC - both Roscoe and Rafael seem to be laughing in the video.

Here we are, ready to go. The city is jammed. HIgh energy in our group. Time is relative, moving slowly now, but I'm sure all to fast after 8 PM.

Tour Merchandise: Bringing The Vegas Experience To The World

Sadly, I am not in Vegas.

I'm in Adelaide.

But ... at least while I am stuck here, far away from where it's all happening ... I can at least *dress* the part (while I read all your upcoming detailed forum and blog reports about the final concert).



Thank you, merch.

Now if only there had been a commemorative Leonard Cohen World Tour 2010 Elvis-Style White Jumpsuit, my Vegas wardrobe would be complete

Sorry, this is not really a concert report as such but I wanted to share this with someone. My husband just sent me the following e-mail:

This came to me during the RR* show. In many ways I wish it hadn't, and i hope this sort of thing doesn't happen again. But as it has made an appearance, I thought I would share it with you for a laugh. Please feel free to nudge it gently into the delete box.

And so to Las Vegas, a celebration, not a wake;
Three great years of music you never thought he'd make.
You said you'd cross the world for him; and no one's had your sweep
Be glad for all the times you've had, a thousand kisses deep!

Enjoy the show as best you can, and i'll be here afterwards if you need me. (forget the phone bill)!!!

OMG - I'm already in tears already and I haven't even left my room for the show yet.

Wendy


*Runrig - a Scottish Celtic Rock band & where I was due to be tonight until Leonard interfered with my plans ... hopefully not for the last time.

I want to see how far Wendy's jaw drops when LC uses these lines as part of his poetry recital tonight (replacing "he" with "I" obviously)
