What brilliant photos Like Happygirl, can't believe it was a week ago it was all happening...

Hi
Sorry for delay but I have a very, very old computer and it takes for ever to download not to mention that it goes into 'fatal mode' as it can't cope
I can't believe it's already a week since THE concert. Got a lot more clips to add and I don't know how long it will take so please be patient

We were all on the march this time last week...... poster at the ready...... What a fab time it was, great memories that make me smile broadly when I think back.

Burning Violin, I am sure that Leonard smiled broadly when he saw your poster too

I have really enjoyed reading all the reviews and watching the videos. Last week was such a memorable experience and it is helping me hang on to that magical feeling.

I’m sure that many people feel the same way, but two moments stand out for me in this amazing concert that will stay with me forever. The first, during Suzanne when all the Forum members lit their thin green candles. I felt so proud and privileged to be part of the Forum family. The second, when Leonard thanked the members of the Forum after Whither Thou Goest. I thought my heart would burst.

It was so wonderful to meet so many lovely people in the beautiful city of Barcelona!

Enjoy I hope

Greetings to all from lovely autumnal Dublin,

It has taken me a week to come down from the high of Barcelona - it was magical. So many memories to cherish for the rest of my life. I feel so blessed and privileged to be part of this wonderful group of people. I can't add anything more about the concert - it has all been said on this thread and the photos tell the story. So from the bottom of my heart I send my thanks to our Spanish team for such kindness and hospitality in your beautiful city. To all the forum members I had the honour of meeting in Hydra for the first time in June and again last week, thank you for the warmth of your welcome. Meeting so many new Cohenites in Barcelona was pure pleasure.

To Jarkko and Eija - take a bow, you have made it all possible.

On Sunday evening my beautiful 7 year old daughter burst into tears "oh mommy" she cried, "are you going to live with Leonard because you love him so much...?"

Fellow forum members - you understand the nature of this particular addiction!!!!!

In song.

Hi everyone.

I followed the reports here quite carefully, but I might have missed something in the 16-previous pages. So I have a question, about something that no one seems to have mentioned here. I thought I heard something about a new song being rehearsed at the soundcheck; was anybody present there, did that really happen?!

Laura

Thank you one and all for all the posts and you tubes and photos you have placed....
it made it so much closer for those of us who couldn't be there in person.
I imagine it was one of the most memorable evenings and very magical being in Barcelona...
the thin green candles at Suzanne was incredible!
Much love
Mutti

Laura,
I believe Jarkko told me something about a new 15 minute long song being played during soundcheck, but I'm not 100% sure now...
The best persons to ask are Jarkko and Henning, so perhaps one of them can help us out here...?

15-min long?!! Now I definitely want to know more! Please!!!
So there were no other privileged allowed at the soundcheck?

Laura

Laura,
Only a few lucky ones (J and H) had a golden ticket to go and see the soundcheck, but some of us were already at the venue and you could listen to the soundcheck if you stayed close enough to the entrance. I was there too, but decided to have a talk with some of the other members that were queing up to get their tickets from the box office... I haven't heard anything of the soundcheck myself, sorry...

That's about all I know...

Maarten

I was busy taking pictures, when I should have pressed my ear against the walls of the buildung...

Here's some Barcelona spirit for all you people, who have been there, and even more so for the ones, who couldn't...

Thank you, Maarten.
Apparently sometimes it's good to listen at the doors (I would have done so!)

Laura

Exxxquisite photo, Actually !!! A breathtaking WoW.
