A classical harpist who doesn't believe in paragraphs. Oh my aching eyes

Going Home - (humourous inflections / expressions by Leonard - at beginning and end - the "lazy bastard living in a suit" )

I love the way Leonard really stresses the words 'He's a lazy bastard living in a suit'.

Thanks again for the videos.

Where are the videos of Banjo??

My two posts about LC's voiceover recitations during "I Can't Forget".

(1) I can't forget with French À La Claire Fontaine voiceover recitation (concert 1)
http://onboogiestreet.blogspot.com/2012 ... ith-i.html

(2) I can't forget with mostly English poem Dover Beach voiceover recitation (concert 2 )

Thank you for that, Arlene!
How unusual.
I remember Leonard quoting these lines from Dover Beach in the Stuttgart concert '10 just before Born in Chains,
they had been fitting so perfectly to the intense police situation happening in the city at the time.
They are timeless. Love these lines since.

Thank you all for your wonderful contributions, for sharing your experiences, reports and videos.
Lets us feel close, if we cannot be there. Very exciting!

Leonard was really enjoying 'Save the last dance' - i so much enjoyed the performance, too.

And thank you Albert for 'Light as the Breeze', can we expect more of that magic?

Want to echo Harriet's thanks for contributions by Albert and Arlene. Others have made good posts as well. Much gratitude from the USA!

Seems our man barely avoided becoming a Ghentile.

Envy all who have been able to see this fabulous opening series.

Annick in Luxembourg sent us an article about the first concert in Ghent from the newspaper Luxembourger Wort on August 14th.
"L'adoration du chant mystique. Une série exceptionelle de cinq concerts en ouverture d'une tournée mondiale"
Read it at http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/lux.pdf

Thanks Annick!

Thank you for posting this beautifully reverential article, Jarkko, and,for the thousandth time, for this site. The contributions by members from around the world, make us feel as if were at each of LCs concerts.
