This is from Go Down Moses (aka Let My People Go).musicmania wrote:We all loved when before Take This Waltz Cohen quoted something which included the line "Let my people dance" This was obviously a comment to the stewards to allow us dance in the aisles during this song as we made our way to the stage for the encores. I've yet to discover the origins of those words but it was a touching moment from Cohen to all of us which he repeated the following night.
Thank you Roman for letting us know the origins of this. I'll edit my blog and the submitted review to Drop-d. So pleased to now knowGoldin wrote:OMG.

And this is priceless. Pri-ce-less. Thank you, Gwen, for letting us know!
When Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people dance
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people dance
Yes, beautifully said. This is THE song that captured my heart - and I am not a youngster! I listened to it over and over and it seemed to bring a sort of peace to my soul. I've wondered many times since then--"Why Marianne?" I was suffering a great loss myself at the time. Now I believe I have the answer. Thanks for that!musicmania wrote:minnie wrote: That's part of it but I think, more importantly, "So Long, Marianne" speaks to that part of human nature which the Irish psyche is deeply in touch with; an awareness of the bitter sweet and sometimes horrendous loss that's intrinsically enmeshed with love/life and anything that moves the heart. Accepting that brings an ability to give space to hope, nostalgia and humour without polarising the spectrum of experience.
Maybe it could be petitioned as our new National Anthem ...

About all I can hear is "circumstances"
Not sure what the etc. means, sandraa - in case anyone reading this thinks they missed something, the car drew up right in front of the door and Leonard was just able to give a quick wave and a smile before Joey and the others got him into the car. Of course they have to "mind" him, but since it was the final night a brief photo op. without the car blocking our view would have been so welcome, to get a photo of Leonard Leaving!sandraa wrote: It was also great to wait and see Leonard leaving last night and we were well rewarded with waves etc .
Thanks! Now I can hear/match at least the first verse - and he probably sang the first two verses -IMM wrote:Invictus - I think.sturgess66 wrote:

Does anyone who was at the show on the 14th know what he did in this section?Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
My goodness - really conveys very clearly the distracting (to say the least ) behaviour of some of the audience !burningviolin wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRmCOcd ... 1347988872
My video from the back of Who By Fire, shows all the people (including me eh hem) walking around. I now realise how rubbish my camera is, it's about 4 years old, other than this I left the recordings up to the professionals like IrishAl and Somewhat nifty.
