Here's a webcam shot of yesterday's soundcheck. In all the other images I saw during the soundcheck it was cloudy. This is the only one with the stage in sunlight.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful pictures! And Brightnow for the time lapse. I watched it several times. Those of you who were able to be there were fortunate indeed. What a spectacular venue!

Thank you so much for this. Here is what I think. I think it is wonderful!! And thanks for doing it as a "thank you" on behalf of his fans. I just posted it on Leonard Cohen's FaceBook page.brightnow wrote:Here's a capture of the webcam before and during the concert. I've time-lapsed it into six minutes of video.

The setlist is missing I Tried to Leave You.
I'm glad to hear some of you out-of-towners got to stay long enough to see the concert. Red Rocks is a fantastic venue but it would have been not much fun for any of us with the weather on Tuesday.

Thanks, Pomona. I love the way he concludes each show by showing how much he cares for his loyal fans. I am sorry I did not start collecting these invocations earlier. I did not clue in to what he was actually doing until after I had seen him repeat variations of this four line ritual several times. Perhaps we could call upon the Forum's wonderful, supreme chronicler, Maarten, to open a thread called, "Please Post the Concert Four Priestly Blessings Here"Pomona wrote:bridger15 asked:Here ya go:Can anyone tell us about Leonard's closing words last night, his Four Priestly Blessings at the end of the concert?

brightnow, It is B R I L L I A N T ! Thank you so much. I watched the whole concert in real time. Your time lapse video is a great memento, especially with soundtrack, your heartfelt words and the end credits. I captured it to keep. Well done!brightnow wrote:Here's a capture of the webcam before and during the concert. I've time-lapsed it into six minutes of video.

Re: CONCERT REPORT: Red Rocks, June 4
Dear Brightnow ~
Thank you for your amazingly creative and deeply thoughtful gift for all of us and for Leonard and his band. I simply sat and cried as I watched, starting with the venue just beginning to fill. After intermission, I thought to look back and up, and Red Rocks looked filled to the brim. Your video creation summons so many layers of emotion for me. I cannot remember seeing Leonard look so happy, so much, as I saw him look, repeatedly, throughout this concert... pure joy.

[I posted that ~ minus my name ~ on the YouTube comments, but not sure if it actually came through. Sometimes it just doesn't; my computer no doubt. I Favorited it and rated it Six. This concert was pure joy for Leonard and all of us... but no room left there to add the "and all of us" aspect.]
