Cohen at the Fox in Detroit
I have been a fan of Cohen's for over 50 years and I think I have seen the best concert ever, in Detroit at the old Fox Theatre, downtown. If there ever was a venue for a 78 year old balladeer it was this 84 year old theatre. It was intimate for us 5000 attendees. His performance, as always, was imp...

Re: How many years?
I have been listening to Leonard Cohen since 1969. My best friend, Doug Macbeth, now long dead, introduced me to his music in that year. We would, after a few drinks, or two, bellow out "So long Marianne" as his finance and first wife was so named. Oddly, my spouse was also so named. She t...

Re: Please, post the setlists...
We recently were at the Kitchener, Ontario concert and we are going to be at the Toronto one on 6 June. I feel the list of songs may not be too important, especially when the list may vary a bit for each performance. We were expecting So Long Marianne in one of the encores, as it is a song somewhat ...

Re: Kitchener Ontario June 2
We were disappointed that there were no T Shirts or posters available. There were some disks and books, all of which, most aficionados would already possess.

Re: Kitchener Ontario June 2
I agree with the commentary regarding the Kitchener concert--it was unbelievable! We gave Cohen a standing ovation as soon as he arrived on stage and at every opportunity thereafter. The musicians accompanying him were the best I have ever seen--and that covers everything from opera to folk--and I a...
