I am just home and so so so tired. I have not read anything yet. Just want to say this was my favourite concert of all time. Leonard was amazing. i got to the front of stage in front of him and that killer smile of his, wow! Will write more soon. So great to be with old and new friends again.
Did anyone get a video of Lover Lover Lover, it was the best rendition I have ever heard in my life?
More soon

Maybe he's influenced by the flamenco in Spain

I love how someone yelled 'Ole' after Javier Mas's solo

I love this song and I love the arrangements for this tour - and I just love this particular performance!!
The repeated "pllleeease" at 2:42
And he starts around 3:04 with "lover, lover, ohhhhhhhhhh" and continues with more "ohhhhhhhh's" throughout.
Javier's is fantastic.
Simply wonderful performance by Leonard!

I had the luck to be in the concert and I have to say it's been the BEST concert of my entire life. I went with my mother (her first concert ever) and we two were amazed. I am 36 and I fell in love with that deep voice and those gentle movements...
I wish I could know him

Leonard, thanks for the trouble you took.

THANK YOU IrishAl!!! Superb videos, as always.
I love his huge smile in Closing Time, right after he says "you were in it for your beauty too". He's really got the moves in this song too. Fancy footwork- it often looks like he is gliding across the stage. Amazing. Also loved how he turned around to Rafael when he said "it isn't worth a dime." Maybe, to him, Rafael represents the "ears of youth"?

I've just been reading all the reports and looking at the videos - and I'm exhausted with all the excitement and emotion - and all I'm doing is sitting in front of the computer

What a wonderful, magical evening it must have been. I was with you all in spirit on Monday evening, and can only imagine the ovation Leonard must have got when he came on stage, especially after the scare in Valencia. And the candles - what a beautiful idea (although if that had happened at somewhere like the O2 in London, I bet there would have been panic with all the health and safety police

). Thank you everyone for sharing all the memories and the videos.

So - did they actually try to stop you filming, IrishAl? Thank goodness they didn't succeed.
