Re: Leonard is No. 1 at Glastonbury
That's a great achievement for Leonard 
- considering who else is on the list. 
Mind you, the video footage I saw of that 'Hallelujah' performance captured an ecstasy and crowd camaraderie that is hard to imagine being surpassed.
Cheers,
Andrew

Re: Leonard is No. 1 at Glastonbury
That's absolutely amazing .
There's no point in revisiting old disappointments but brings back the mystery of why at least some of Leonard's set wasn't televised on the BBC when virtually all pyramid stage headliners are .
There is extensive coverage of Glastonbury 2014 across the BBC- tv and radio - from this thursday.
of course needless to say wish leonard was playing again - there or anywhere !

Re: Leonard is No. 1 at Glastonbury
The Daily Telegraph always give Leonard good reviews...
"What keeps the thousands coming back, myself included, is the sensation that seeing Cohen live is like going to see a finished masterpiece by an Old Master. His three-hour sets are the Sistine Chapel ceiling of live performance: their exquisite beauty renders you silent, sometimes tearful but always grateful to have been able to experience such radiance and majesty."

Re: Leonard is No. 1 at Glastonbury
I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but do remember, this is one persons thoughts, not a team, or a jury's decision. The person is no doubt a Leonard Cohen fan and I am sure we all know how bias that can be.
I guess it all started for me sometime around Christmas 1967 and now, goodness me, it's.........2018 and over fifty years later.
No one ever listens to me. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record.

Re: Leonard is No. 1 at Glastonbury
I was there for that gig, absolutely incredible moment - 60 odd thousand people, most of whom didn't know his music too well, all enraptured.
And apparently he refused to be televised, it wasn't the BBC's decision. I think he even refused to have the cameras rolling.
