But interesting to see that her microphone and monitor are there. Perhaps she is hoping to do part of the show?tomsakic wrote:No Sharon on the photo...

Why on earth do the French audience need subtitles? Can you imagine watching the screens for the whole of the show to see the words in French, rather than watching Leonard and the band perform? Have subtitles ever been used anywhere before? I went to an Italian opera with English subtitles on a moving screen above the stage once. Really annoying - I would much rather miss out on some of the meaning of the words.

Well, I'm French and one of the eight LC concerts I have seen so far was in France (in Lyon). This is the concert that had the most unreactive audience. They were probably afraid to be punished for applauding, laughing or even smiling at the wrong moment, like they were taught to avoid at school. I don't know if subtitles will help, but I wouldn't dismiss it as a very bad idea before it is tested.Maarten wrote:Wendy,Mabeanie1 wrote: Subtitles?????

I completely agree with you regarding the subtitles! I hope they don't do subtitles in Lille...

JudyMansfield - At Zenith in Caen. Leonard Cohen is amazing. Such powerful lyrics and a voice like darkest chocolate. 21 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone
Yes, let's hope so. Sharon was off stage briefly in Lisbon on Friday, which I never saw happen before, but she seemed fine when she came back and completed the show. Standing on stage for so long cannot be easy, not to mention performing and all the travelling.tomsakic wrote: No Sharon on Darkness photo also. I do hope it's only something like Summer cold:)
The sub-titles seem to be working, the crowd is following along beautifully during Hallelujah.

Didn't know about this - I was thinking it started two nights ago in Ourense, she didn't appear on stage after intermission but returned for encores. Boogie Street was not performed.TipperaryAnn wrote:Yes, let's hope so.
