Albert - for those of us across the pond, many, many thnaks - it is just wonderful to see, hear and feel the continuing connection between Leonard and the audience - resonating back and forth - I was so touched by the audience singing with Leonard as they poured their collective hearts out! "laugh again, cry again" - Just beautiful!

Albert Albert Albert! Thank you so much for capturing such a wonderful happening that will go down in LC lore. I love the audience refrain No No No and his smiling response. He enjoyed the audience as much as the audience enjoyed him.IrishAL wrote:here it is ..surrender wrote:Both concerts were fabulous. Mr. Cohen was very relaxed and he enjoyed very responsive
audience, esp. the second night.
LC: ..."it's closing time"....
Audience: "NO,NO, NO!" (just as Amy Winehouse in Rehab)
I couldn't find it recorded, maybe our Sir. Albert?!?
Closing time followed by Save the last dance for me.

The clocks cost 30 USD and 39 cents. Seems only available in US and Canada.
Oh well......
It would be nice to have one.

Albert,
The joy that comes with watching your vids. Pure delight.
Thanks much - it really is as close as one can feel to actually being there.

Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Amsterdam, Aug 21 & 22
Albert thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for us! You are a multi talented man.
Its so nice to be transported right to the concert for those of us not there. The clarity of your work is wonderful.
I have not watched them all as I am savoring each one and waiting for the right time to watch.
I was not going to watch any until October but decided that was not possible.
Thanks again for all your dedication to this.
Cheers

Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Amsterdam, Aug 21 & 22
At last, back home again after a wonderful Tuesday night....
Thank you Albert for the videos...! They bring me back to that evening.... thnx!
My friend and I sat on the cheap places on the tribune so the pictures I took are not the best you've seen:
Our high view on the stage:
Some more "close ups":
greeting
bowing
kneeling
dancing
honoring
listening
(to sharon robinson - alexandra leaving)
flowering
back in europe
the guests
rainy ending
with famous translucent raincoats!
Thank you Leonard!

Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Amsterdam, Aug 21 & 22
Thanks everyone for posting all your wonderful video's & pictures! I'm totally in awe again of LC... especially now that I had 5th row seats (first night in Amsterdam) and 1st ! row seats (2nd night). The end was amazing, yelling No, No, No [read guitar technician's blog: they were thinking Yes, Yes, Yes ] together with everyone else.

Amsterdam..Bird on the Wire.
This is the song that got Marie, hooked on Leonard's music.

Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Amsterdam, Aug 21 & 22
Has anyone else noticed the professional recording that is occurring during the song "Amen". You can clearly see it in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvzaKZCVl6I
I'd like to believe this is to mean that Leonard will be releasing another DVD / Blu-Ray of select live performances. More Songs From the Road??

And the same for me too I still have the words I wrote down on a scrap of paper when I first heard it in the early 70's. Thanks for all your wonderful videos Albert.IrishAL wrote:Amsterdam..Bird on the Wire.

....and to everyone else who has posted videos, photos and links, you don't know how much I appreciate them. Australia is such a long way from everything and all that you do here on the forum brings it all so much closer for me. I don't really know if he will make it downunder this time, and if he does I feel it will not be for a very long time so I'm truly grateful for all that you do.
Geert, I love the raincoat photo!
