Hi,
My latest (more or less reliable) information is that their will most probably be a new tour. Mr Cohen's album is "progressing nicely" and might even come out before Anjani's, but still closer to the end of the year than to the summer :-).

I too was listening yesterday to Leonard - Live in London - and hoping we will get another chance to see him.
Hearing that he MAY do another tour, I fear I am now 'wishing my life away' wanting 2012 to hurry up and be here.
I must gather myself together, be patient, -- difficult, -- and just keep listening to his music we already have till
his new one, and fingers crossed a tour.

Yes, I was just thinking about it: 2011 just started and I, as many of you, have plans to catch different artists in concert, etc and are making arrangements to travel this year, then we now are all already anticipating 2012 to arrive :)

I just viewed a great video on youtube about the forum and was glad to put names and tags to the many amazing people of the forum I saw and met in Las Vegas in December :)

Makes me even more excited!! :D

I'm confident Leonard will tour again next after all he is still a youngster compared to some other touring artists right now. I'm going to see BB King and he is 85 and Also Ravi Shankar who's 91. Leonard must therefore have a few tours left in him yet :razz:

Hello. shooting_star_88 mentions the Las Vegas recordings. Are these accessible to anyone and if so, from where? I was at the final Vegas show and would love to hear the recordings. Thanks

Hi TommyJ,

Check out the "Collectors and Traders Corner" section of the forum. You can join a "vine" for both LV recordings (and someone will mail you copies which you can copy and send to the next person on the vine), or you can download them yourself (in "2010 audience recordings available online").

Cheers,
Lisa

I'm not at all embarrassed to admit that, when shopping for clothes the other day, I tried on a polka-dotted blouse :roll: you never know when you might need one of those ;-)

I've got other concerts lined up to see this year, but would trade them all for one more Leonard show! :oops:

Can't wait for new record!!!
