Saw the GREAT Leonard Cohen last night at the Liverpool Echo Arena.

It was a brilliant, brilliant show. Three hours of superb, masterful music...which had me in tears during parts of the show. Leonard had a standing ovation when he came on at the start and several more throughout the show.

Leonard and his band have been on the road now for most of the time duing the last 15 months. At 74 I don't how he's managed to keep up such a punishing schedule.

Setlist for any lurking Lenny fans:

'Dance Me To The End Of Love' / 'The Future' / Ain't No Cure For Love' / 'Bird On A Wire' / 'Everybody Knows' / 'In My Secret Life' / 'Who By Fire' / 'Heart With No Companion' / 'Waiting For The Miracle' / 'Anthem' / 'Tower Of Song' / 'Suzanne' / 'Sisters Of Mercy' / 'Partisan' / 'Boogey Street' / 'Hallelujah' / 'I'm Your Man' / 'Take This Waltz'

Encores - 'So Long Marianne' / 'First We Take Manhattan' / 'Famous Blue Raincoat' / If It Be Your Will' / 'Closing Time' / 'I Tried To Leave You'

The Halle' Ochestra, Natasha Marsh and Alfie Boe. plus Leeds Choir . Verdi,Puccinni ,Biset ect,ect.
THe picnic tables with glowing lanterns dotted across the rolling hill as 'THe March of the Hebrew Slave's 'and 'La Boheme' reached a crescendo what enough to produce raised hair on the back of the neck....a refreshing water- fall soothing the soul...(sigh)....

Leonard Cohen fans should check out 'Famous Blue Raincoat' by Jennifer Warnes - all Lenny songs - great interpertations by someone who used to sing back up for him many moons ago
