No, I much prefer it with Alex on the violin.
Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Dublin Sept 11, 12, 14 & 15, 2012
The violin is more suited to the songs I think, but maybe Alex could smile a little more. He mostly looks very serious.

Yeah, I think the purity of the violin brings the concert to another level. God, can't wait to get back there on Saturday.
Re: CONCERT REPORTS: Dublin Sept 11, 12, 14 & 15, 2012
And for some of us, back to the level it was closer to in tours before.
I guess it all started for me sometime around Christmas 1967 and now, goodness me, it's.........2018 and over fifty years later.
No one ever listens to me. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record.

to wrap up!
But that and maybe the cold are the only complaints about what was a magical event. It was just one constant highlight after another.
Glad to see i wasnt the only one annoyed by this! ......it does indeed represent his humour far more than the other two words,anyway....great to see the new reviews even if i am jealous i cant go again(im a greedy bastard )

Absolutely agree. Tues was fantastic, but last night was just unbelievably perfecttinderella wrote:Two nights with Leonard and the second night blew me away.
Maybe cos the President of Ireland was sitting a few rows in front of me... there were no stragglers walking around. The audience were great. Leonard was in fantastic form. jumping onto the stage and singing from the heart.
He said at one point...' i hope you are warm... but you were warm when you got here, if you were any warmer... you would be the Tropics '
Beautiful way to spend an evening and not a drop of rain fell. Brought my daughter to see him, she thought he was fantastic, and we both got to the front of the stage for the encores. The security man tried to stop me but I said to him, I don't want to see the President, I just want to see Leonard ... It worked. A few feet away for Marianne, First we take Manhattan , Famous Blue Raincoat and Closing time....
ROLL ON VERONA NOW
Great to know the legendary Kilmainham magic is still there. Roll on Sat now.

I think the violin is a wonderful addition too, but miss Dino's exuberance on that side of the stage.table top joe wrote:songwriter wrote:

HI Eva.majmunka wrote:My photos of the second day and night.
Eva
Many thanks for the excellent photos. I’m delighted that you included one shot of the “mystery man” on harmonica, who joined the band onstage for a while during the wed 12th show. It proves that I didn't imagine it! I hadn’t a clue who he was when I saw him up there, but a little research today suggests that it’s actually Tour Manager Mike Scoble.
Thanks again.
John
