Hello MD, Welcome to the Forum! Thanks for sharing... it's a fascinating story, albeit a little eerie :lol: I spent all my babysitting money on Songs of Leonard Cohen. I was never sorry. One of the small compensations of discovering LC 'late' (i.e. after I had already started working) is having the ...

To those fortunate enough to be at the final Vegas show,

Know that I'm green as a grasshopper dipped in emerald dye

I'll be waiting for the videos

No Closing Time on 9 November show. People who aren't familiar with the way the shows close started to leave and so I think we missed another encore that the band would have been expecting to finish with. Fantastic show though. Remarkable and much appreciated. Welcome, Lindy. You're not alone - I t...

Welcome, welcome (cries a voice) Sue! +1 to the Unified Heart T-shirt Cult - I bought one last week too! :lol: Jemima, there's fascinating thread on the unified heart here, complete with images and scholarly writings on the subject: http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15217&...

You would not be alone if you managed to come to Vegas I'd say there would be a 'few' like-minded individuals around who share with you a bit of the same disorders . Hi Mary, Vegas... now that concert would be worth swimming to! Lucky, lucky you! Hmmm... so now I'm the nut with a disorder who has f...

Hi Lester. Thank you for your Sydney concert reports and visuals. I have enjoyed them all. It has been a while since your original thread on July 23, "Flying 4,000 miles to catch Cohen - Am I nuts? I am wondering how you feel about your momentous decision now? :D ---Arlene Dear Arlene, How nic...

Dear Friends, Thanks for your comments - experience half-exorcised now :D More comments and suggestions are welcome - especially if you had these slip-through-your-fingers moments like me! Misery loves company (kidding, kidding). You missed that 'carpe diem' moment. There is nothing else to say exce...

OH MY!!!! Thanks for the video Lester. I love the movies!!! And what a song/performance! And thanks for the colour you added to the thread! Thanks for the kind words, sturgess66. Thanks also for posting the URL to my "A Thousand Kisses Deep" video, too. Like I said - you're fast! Had some...

Dear Friends, I flew to Sydney for the November 9 concert, and it turned out to be everything I expected it to be - magnificent, magical, momentous. But at the end of it all, something happened that made me want to "knee myself in the balls" and stick my "fist in my face"... I ha...

Dear friends, Oh what oh what oh what a show it was! :D From 11/9/10 show - Uploaded by "horo1984" - Thanks! "Webb Sisters doing cartwheels" - a short clip from "The Future" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7orqgdPcWGA Thanks, sturgess66. You're fast! I've just posted a c...

My thanks to Susy and MaryB... ... and to seadove, by 'personal premiere' I was simply referring to a person's first-ever LC concert (yours must have been a loooong time ago!) Can't believe I'm back already! More to share, complete with two videos. But first, some sleep. Been travelling for the past...

Due my A380 being grounded, it took me two flights and more than 15 hours to get back :x I'm surprised no one has posted the November 9 setlist yet, so here goes... :) Sydney, Australia - 9 November 2010 Set 1 01 Dance Me To The End Of Love 02 The Future 03 Bird On The Wire 04 Everybody Knows 05 Who...

Dear friends, I'll be departing for Sydney tonight - for my personal premiere of LC in concert. Just dropping this note to thank all the friendly Cohenites at this forum for answering my many questions over the past three months. Extra thanks to Jarkko for founding this community (LC doesn't have mu...

My belated thanks to the three of you... Been swamped with work in preparation for my trip - but I know the Sydney concert will more than make up for it! To John and lightasabreeze: I guess it's really about living in the moment, isn't it? But I daresay my camera will make an appearance for just one...

Friends, As some may recall, I'm the nutty guy who'll be flying 4,000 miles alone to Sydney, Australia, to catch LC in concert: http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22359 :D Advice needed: How do I maximise the LC concert experience? I have a couple of days in Sydney city before ...
