Re: Dino Soldo not in the tour band

Sax intros are very powerful and have a way of really defining the song, IMO. (e.g. Dire Straits's "Your Latest Trick")

Re: Dino Soldo not in the tour band

Just heard the first 2012 performance of 'Ain't no cure for love' from Seattle http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=33049 Great performance even though the intro sounds very different without Dino's sax I agree, "No Cure" without a sax is like "Dance Me" wit...

Re: Meet Up in Boston

Hello everyone, I do have a bit of an update. After speaking with the rep at the Revere, we do have a couple of options. First of all, to reserve a private room is very expensive. They would require a minimum $750 food order so I think that is out. Next option is for $250 plus a flat fee gratuity w...

Re: Where will our 2014 Event be?

I must say, it's much harder to get an Irish visa than to visit Schengen countries for the Russians (and I'm afraid, for citizens of some other countries too). Personally I will not make a journey to Ireland, although will perhaps attend the Event held in Belgium or Croatia (not in Schengen, but na...

Re: Where will our 2014 Event be?

Well as I said, I'm really happy to have everyone over to Cork, and I've now got the support of Albert (IrishAl) Marie (IrishMar) Bernadine (tinderella) and Paula (Aloe Vera) in Dublin, and Gwen (Musicmania) in Kildare to form a core organisation group within the country plus Ruth (Somewhat_Nifty) ...

Re: Meet Up in Boston

Catherine, maybe we should try for the private room anyway: if you send me the quote from the hotel I will try to collect the minimum payment via PayPal from those interested and book it. We've had great success with PayPal collections for the Madison event and other projects, we're still more than ...

Re: PRESALE TO NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN

First off, I am in the front rows of section F5 thanks to this forum and the presale. Cheers. Anyone else worried about these shows getting cancelled? There are an enormous amount of tickets available at all prices and all sections. It looks like the only parts sold out are floor. I feel like it's ...

Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Austin, October 31 and November 1

Do you think he's referring to climate change? The Flood was written in 1973, climate change was not high on the public agenda at that point in time. So I think it is safe to say that the poem was originally referring to a metaphorical flood. This can be further supported by the fact that it was wr...

Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Austin, October 31 and November 1

And there were two references to Hurricane Sandy last night (Nov 1): Leonard dedicated "Banjo" to the people of New Orleans, New Jersey and Staten Island. After reciting "The Flood" (as an intro to Anthem) Leonard said: "Now I do have the proof" which might have been a ...
