Petition to include The Partisan (and FBR) :-) in the set

Post by swisschris »

Shouldn't we all start a petition so that Leonard will include THE PARTISAN and FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT in EVERY concert of this Fall Tour. I watched the video of The Partisan in Bucharest and he and the band just nailed that song, so beautiful!

And besides, they are a) Two of my favourite songs and b) a little change in the already well known setlist from the summer tour would be great anyway.

2008:Lyon July 9th, Lörrach July 25th, Zurich October 25th;
2009: Nimes August 20th;
2010: Basel September 8th;
2012: Verona September 24th;
2013: Montreux July 4th

In Prague, Partisan WAS on the songlist, and that was after Bucharest, so there's some hope ;-)
And FBR was one of (probably eight or nine :!: ) encores.

I wonder if anyone from Cohen's management reads this forum, as this petition seems to have been answered. ;-)

I've just seen that he sang The Partisan, Famous Blue Raincoat and Heart with no companion during his concerts in Praha and Poland.Wonderful!
I do hope that he will keep this setlist during this month and that he will play these songs in Zurich as well :-) I think he could only top that by adding "Waiting for the miracle" :lol:

hope he does The Partisan and Famous Blue Raincoat tomorrow in Berlin, like he did in Warsaw a few days ago.
If there was a good fairy , who told me, I could wish 3 songs to add to the tour repertoir, I´d nominate One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong, Lover,Lover, Lover and The Traitor.

One of my all-time favourites, too, and sums up how I have been feeling recently:

"When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come".

You can add my vote to the wish-list!
