First off I would like to thank Steve from the UK for setting up the meet up a Luka's Sat night. It was nice to meet with a group of fans who are passionate about Leonard's work.
My wife and I are (we're) Leonard nubi's. before the Saturday night's concert we purchased tickets for Sunday night as well.
We stayed in San Francisco and took BART straight to the beautiful Paramount. About 2 blocks away was Ike's Lair, a great little sandwich shop with a cute, young, 20ish girl named Segal who took my order. She described Leonard as a "God". We had a good laugh and I shared that he seems to attract women of all ages. My wife says Leonard's is the best s-e-x music ever. I don't disagree. At 60 I will take whatever help I can get and rest in the fact that it possible to still be sexy at any age. I want to be like Leonard when I grow up.
Saturday night was amazing. "Dance me" is my favorite song and he opened with that. Every song after that just kept getting better and better.
Leonard makes very little eye contact with the audience, which I think, adds mistique and passion of the song. When he is on his knees, face down ... it's as if he's re-living his past and we are all voyers to the experience. I also like the way he throws total focus on his unbelievable band. Throughout the show Leonard highlights each member.
Sunday night was totally awesome. "Bird on a wire" was captivating and set the bar for the rest of the night. Leonard promises to give 100 percent and delivers many times more. The crowd was eating out of his hand and after the 3 rd encore ended the show with a heart felt "Save the Last Dance for Me" ... and that was after "Closing Time" and "I Tried to leave you"
What a great show!
