Oh Heck, Ive just spent three lovely warm early summer weeks in Portugal some of that right beside that Oriente Railway Station in a hotel by the Tagus, Olivias...right at the other end of town from last year eh...but such a nice spot.......there are these lovely big water features along by the river that burst into the sky and shower down into these long wave pools that splash around as they wait to build up and burst again.....So St Theresa Im like you, saw Leonard again in January in Wellington in NZ, but not Lovely Lisbon unfortunately......enjoy everyone.....
Its lovely though, Ive played and played many times over the Live in London cds...that concert last year was wonderful.....he's obviously enjoyed touring so much he's just going to keep on going......
Selling a spare ticket for Lisbon, its at the right hand side of the stage in the first balcony. See my signature!! Offers welcome!!

Last july in Algés, i was waiting to buy something to eat, after a 5 hour travel to Lisboa when, at 20h58 i saw Mr Cohen and the band climbing the steps to backstage. I started to run to the front of the stage and there i was till the end of the concert.
I was starved and my mouth was completly dry because i did not had time to buy something to drink before the show.
Nevertheless, at the end of the concert, i went to a kind of a gate on the right of the stage, trying to see him closer and just tell him that his music is very important in my life, but the security man in front of the gate told me that Mr. Cohen had already left the place.
I cannot say that i was sad, but I still keep the hope that one day it will be possible...
I've been trying to sell my spare ticket for Lisbon but now I'm selling both tickets I bought as I really need to find a buyer and I'm thinking a pair may be of more interest. They cost me €89 each with cost of sending them overseas but I'm selling for face value of €70 each (which includes the normal fees) and I will send them to you for free.
If you don't want to buy would anyone consider swapping them for Madrid tickets?

So... are we meeting anywhere before or after the concert? It was nice to meet you all last year.
This year I'll be staying with a friend and I'm going to the concert with her. She's got children and I really don't know how free I'll be, but I can PM you with my phone number. Just ask.
Well you lucky Europeans, this year I sit over here in the cold New Zealand winter and think of you all at the concert. I see it starts at 9pm your time, so thats 8am Friday morning here....If I listen carefully enough will I hear you all singing along like last year?..... ...He he he....I hope so.....enjoy!..
