So you have to be a little crazy to be a Cohen fan. That's a more likely definition. :)

In the same line, what about the Cohen concert plus the Hydra meeting? (since you know that's one thing I'm crazy about). Raise hands, please, please! Must admit, I've been dreaming for long about the Cohen concert in Athens in a beautiful (and sitting down!) location, and now that we get this instead, I can't decide if I want to go all the way just for it (not such a long way, but still...). And I miss the colours and the sky and the food and the silence and the feeling of not having a worry in the world... and, yeah, I miss not swimming, too.

Laura, I'll be at the Terra Vibe concert and will also be going to Hydra for several days from the following Friday! :D

Cheers :)

P.S. According to Sophia, there will be some sort of benches in the more expensive ticket area.

Hi everyone
It would be great to meet up pre/post the gig. OMG how many of us have waited for this for sooo long?
I'm guessing that most of us are Athns based and therefore able to be available for an Hydra gathering. T'would be great, summer kicking in an all that, to do something together, last week I sat with my latte outside the Pirates, in the harbour, thought there is nowhere I would rather be...remember?
Anyway, those with a similar point of view, let us know..

Hi all
I do insist that Terra Vibe is the most inappropriate place for LC.I was in Lycabetus back in 1988 and it was magic...LC does not deserve this...an open area of 400m2 for people to stand up..for more than 2 hours?? I've been waiting for 20 years to see him again but ..under these circumstances...no thanks..i will keep the pleasant memories of the concert in Lycabetus..

I hope u enjoy it

Lycabettus confirmed as well? Should (can) I replace my tickets? Would anyone go to Terra Vibe when there is a show in Lycabettus?

Both here, http://aeglive.com/tourdates.php?id=177 ... type=event, and here, http://aeglive.com/events.php?client_id=2827&page=2.

Both Lycabettus and Terra Vibe are there.

I think it's pretty clear by now that Lykabetus is not happenning, the show will be at Terra Vibe. Any publicity alluding to Lykabetus is purely out of date speculation. J

It is not speculation.

It is in the official AEG page:
http://aeglive.com/events.php?client_id=2827&page=2


Tuesday, July 29
Leonard Cohen
Lycabettus Theatre, Athens, Greece

Wednesday, July 30
Leonard Cohen
Terra Vibe, Athens, Greece

Probably it is a mistake, but it is not just speculation.

See what you mean, that's odd.
First time I've seen both dates/venues on the same list, we'll see...

Hey, I bought the plane tickets already! On 29 in the evening I'll be IN it! This is getting extremely annoying.

Got email confirmation from AEG that Lycabettus on July 29 is false and outdated info [on their website], the only concert in Athens is on July 30 at Terra Vibe.
