Leonard Cohen Concert, Los Angeles


There are not a lot of concerts which you can really enjoy these days but this one was an exception. Leonard Cohen's performance with his full orchestra was flawless. He sang almost all of his famous songs. From the 60's to recently released. Blue rain coat, lover lover lover, Take this waltz, Dance me to the end of love, I'm your man, ....
He has high respects for his musicians. He sits on his knees when the Spanish guitar player, plays a solo or bends briefly to each musician while introducing him/er.
Nokia Theater was packed although tickets were expensive. Those that were in the very end of the balcony were 84$ and from there, size of the whole stage is about 3 inches!
Leonard Cohen is having a worldwide concert tour this year. Don't miss it!
