Just checking.

Coming from New Zealand.
Tickets haven't arrived yet - but assuming they will arrive 'any day now'.

Is it really a 4pm concert start?

New Zealand:
#1, #1, #3, #7, #8 (Gold Album)

Still in the top 10 after 5 weeks.

I listen to Cohen whenever I have free time (essential listening in the car)and it is on in the background while I am working at home. I have every album, know all the lyrics really well and can sing along with most songs without error (bearing in mind that there are different lyrics and timing to s...

Couldn't agree with you more, Phillip. My player has been a total 'Cohen-only zone' since Leonard's first visit here during the last world tour. I play it in the car regardless of how long or short the trip is - and I can now play Cohen at work since I 'converted' everyone in the office. Old Ideas i...

NZ
#1, #1, #3, #7
Four weeks in the top ten!!

Could that result be good enough to be part of the next world tour?

Far too many covers now.

Far too little from Leonard himself.

Some of the covers are REALLY bad!

Old Ideas album down from #1 to #3 in NZ (Whitney Houston came in at #2.)
Old Ideas was #1 for two weeks

Leonard swapped places with Adele this week as she moved to the #1 spot.

Thank you SO much.

... and one for a NZ fan too, if that is possible.

If you then click the right arrow at the bottom right you go to an...

Received mine for Valentine's day.

My 'absolute favourite' changes regularly - usually the one that is in my head when I wake up is the one I find myself singing through the day. I have been known to search youtube for all the live versions of the 'can't get it out of my brain' songs that I can find. (Then going back to my collection...

A friend commented that the earlier Cohen songs, without the backing females voices, were her favourites. I was sure that all the albums, including the earlier ones, had some female backing voices so I put one on to prove my point. WOOPS! The backing female on all the earlier songs was 'ME'. It is s...

I'm so happy just to listen to whatever Leonard decides to play. It is just as well his shows have been 3-4 hours because it means I've been able to hear him perform most of my 'must have in a concert' songs. The only way I would be able to hear more of my favourites would be if he was willing to pl...
