already a week ago.. what a phantastic concert, leonard getting better and groovier with every song. it was my second lc concert, although montreux 2008 was more intimate as the hall is much smaller than the st. jakobshalle, sitting in the first row (thanks to jarkko and the forum presale), it was like a very private concert to me, and the sublime webb-sisters...i will long live on that unique evening.
leonard was much less chatty than montreux 2008, but he seems to be in great shape, i found him even more fleet-footed than in 2008.
and yes i was one of those shameful persons who had to leave before the end, as the swiss trains are somewhow insensitive to beautiful losers...
i was there with my friend tomkri from italy whom i met at the very first hydra meeting 2002. what a great combination!
tomkri made some recordings, i am aware that this is copyright infringement and a plague to artists, but it's not public, only viewable via this link and i will remove it in a week. it's a small, though somtimes a bit groggy souvenir for those who attended the concert and an appetizer for those who have not yet seen mr. cohen.
