Don Pedro sings Leonard Cohen, and Benedick (the one in the tiger suit) does a mean Elvis cover: "Wise man says / Only füüüüüühls rush in…"

Every single one of the seated stalls at Manchester Arena are standing for Leonard Cohen. Utter genius

Ugh, I'm in Victoria Station now, and there are people who haven't been to see Leonard Cohen EVERYWHERE.

[HelenOE]

He was at my parents' wedding in Chelsea (London) in the early '70s. Leonard Cohen's fuckin awesome.

I think Leonard Cohen could stand on his own as a punk band if he needed to

To get thru the outlandish pain last night + this morning, I youtubed the fuck outta Leonard Cohen: interviews, performances, u name it.

Leonard Cohen + Vicoprofen + frozen gelpacks + a touch of THIS IS SPAM! & lots of electrolye water = painkiller combo extraordinaire.

Leonard Cohen was ace, if I can be as sprightly as him and do a three hour concert at 76 I'll have done well.

Leonard Cohen has some Mooves for a 78 year old! #goonson

My life has changed. I have seen the immense leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen was sublime at the Manchester Arena...#class #everbodyknows @SoLeonardCohen

Well, Leonard Cohen was absolutely bloody marvellous in #Manchester tonight. @stuffandguff & I agree: the man is HOT. #phew

Surrounded by old men in trilbys, and one guy in a baseball cap who didn't know wtf was happening. Tonight's been swell. #leonardcohen

If you get the chance to see Leonard Cohen go. Almost 4 hours of brilliance. No Synths or gadgets, just outstanding musicians and singers.

i'm so proud to come from the same town as leonard cohen, that man is my hero, he inspires me so much

Conoces a Leonard Cohen? Como pregunta para separar el umbral entre mujeres interesantes y mujeres no interesantes.
Do you know Leonard Cohen? As a question to separate the threshold between interesting women and women who aren't interesting.

A work of art: Leonard Cohen in Manchester last night

Chelsea Hotel #2 - gets me every time. Amazing, amazing night! #LeonardCohen #Manchester

I'm not ashamed to say I blubbed like a baby at that point. Unbelievable show. The man is 78 for crying out loud!

Ha! Could hear a few sniffs from my Dad beside me too! That was my 3rd time seeing #LeonardCohen & it happens every time -ledg

Leonard Cohen at Manchester last night. What a voice! And 3 hours from the sprightly 79 year old. Well worth the dash up from Cornwall..

Leonard Cohen is on a plane of cool that the likes of you and I couldn't even dream of aspiring to.

If you are able to skip a mortgage payment, I would thoroughly recommend buying Leonard Cohen tickets. 3 whole hours of magic

Amazing Leonard Cohen gig last night. His more recent material is great - Going Home and Come Healing, especially.

Still savouring magical night at Leonard #Cohen concert: warm & wry, he would be my choice for companion on a long train journey.

Meditation, money...something has worked for Leonard Cohen - 79yo in 3wks but played for 3.5hrs & skipped off at end. #HealthyAgeing

Just scored a couple tickets to Leonard Cohen, who apparently did a version of Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah

Para ateos irreductibles como yo, escuchar a Leonard Cohen equivale a varias misas.

"Have tacos for supper and listen to Leonard Cohen." My Saturday night plans always make the band disperse.

[HelenOE]

A mere twenty days to Leonard Cohen's birthday. Hope your street party is in its final planning stages.

Outside on the patio, enjoying a drink, a cigar, and the brilliance that is Leonard Cohen. That's the capper to a good day if you ask me.

of all the songwriters who emerged during the 60's, Leonard Cohen looks most like a regular dude confused about the attention he's receiving

I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you Sunday night. I have to listen to Leonard Cohen and vacuum my carpets.

I want to be a Leonard Cohen backup singer. While on tour we'll practice zen & write poetry together on the beach wearing sarongs & flowers.

Leonard Cohen Que voz!! Que recuerdos me trae escucharlo en el coche de mi padre en nuestros largos viajes
Leonard Cohen. What a voice!! What memories it brings back of listening to him in my father's car on our long trips

Hearing Leonard Cohen in a college town Panera at 9 in the morning...weird. Just weird.

The vibrate on my phone broke so I've substituted it with a ringtone of Leonard Cohen humming

My 3 year olds current favorite song is "everybody knows" by Leonard Cohen. I don't know if I'm a terrible parent or an awesome one.

Leonard Cohen has the deepest voice ever woaaaaaaaaaahh

It'd be so good to see Leonard Cohen , not even kidding wow

Seriously need to reconnect with Leonard Cohen #bliss #Secretlife

In case #LeonardCohen is watching I'd just like to say thanks for Sat night. Incredible night. Magical. Still emotional over it.

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen does it like no one else.

Seeing Leonard Cohen in Cardiff tomorrow night. Already ruined my voice by singing sleazy Cohen earlier. I am exciteaballs

Friend says that, as Sixth Former, he saw Leonard Cohen, thought him epitome of "cool". I said LC is still "cool". #SuchANight

No es casualidad que las canciones que más escucho cuando voy a dormir sean las de Leonard Cohen.
It's not by chance that the songs I listen to most when I go to sleep are Leonard Cohen's.

Leonard Cohen. What a legend

Enjoying paperwork at 2am, listening to Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, the more mournful Johnny Cash stuff. I never wanted a normal life...

Leonard Cohen is helping me plough through a scarily-huge to-do list today. Thanks Leonard!

Leonard Cohen de joven se parecía mucho a Michael Corleone
When he was young, Leonard Cohen looked a lot like Michael Corleone

Yep. I'm stuck on a Leonard Cohen trip. Even giving Death of a Ladies Man a spin.

I love all Leonard Cohen songs but his darker ones are the best

Did I mention how superb I thought Leonard Cohen was on Saturday night? I didn't?

I have now...

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen can't sing. The only time he ever held a key, it belonged to a woman he was sleeping with #didYouKnow

Leonard Cohen is 78 and just toured. Released a new album at age 77. #NeverTooOld

Leonard Cohen is actually the most badass person ever.

I think tonight (and last month's drama, this week's insomnia, & today's headache) call for candles, LeonardCohen, & a scalding hot bath.

Totally utterly completely blown away by Leonard Cohen tonight. Sir, you may dance on my polka dots any time you wish.

Leonard Cohen is whispering truths into my ear and I am drowning in Bukowski. It is one of those days.…

I'm "listening to Leonard Cohen on repeat" fine

From AP: "NIN closed the night with a slow and smoky cover of Johnny Cash's Hurt"

Could be worse. AP could be saying "Leonard Cohen finished with a sultry cover of Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah".

Currently listening to Leonard Cohen for the first time, I feel super relaxed right now.

Future husband, friends and family aside, there's no one I love more than Leonard Cohen. And tonight I get to see him live. Eeeeeeee! #eeeee

My mum: Who are you going to see tonight?
Me: Leonard Cohen.
My Mum: Didn't he die recently?

So Fellaini has gone to United. Leonard Cohen has taken the news rather badly: So Long, Marouane

Tacoma Trailer de Leonard Cohen te sitúa en el centro del presente y cuando miras al suelo sólo hay vacío.

[HelenOE]

So a guy walked up to me today and told me he designed the Leonard Cohen shirt I was wearing. Funny.

In Cardiff waiting for Leonard Cohen to come on stage. Average age of audience about 60! Which is much younger than the star himself!

Just sat down for Leonard Cohen concert in Cardiff as guests of the band. Couldn't get better seats! Ring them bells Leonard!

The "mature" ladies sitting behind us at Leonard Cohen are fangirling HARD. It's just like tumblr, only with full words and sentences.

Strong smell of patchouli oil at Leonard Cohen concert in Cardiff. Takes you back!!

Hynod gyffrous i weld Leonard Cohen yn CIA. Dechrau da i wythnos nol yn gwaith!
Extremely excited to see Leonard Cohen at CIA. Good start to the week back at work!

At Leonard Cohen. There's a dedicated tea and coffee bar. Amazing.

(

Just bought a coffee. Don't think they had coffee at Iron Maiden. #leonardcohen

From one of Jarkko's compatriots:

Tee, Leonard Cohen ja #syksy.
Tea, Leonard Cohen and #autumn

If I had £85 to spare, I would be watching Leonard Cohen tonight in Cardiff. I'm sure it would be worth every penny. #nocheaperticketsleft

Kings of Leonard Cohen #awfulsupergroups

(editorial note: this really would be an awful supergroup. Kings of Leon opened for Bob Dylan at a show I attended, and they were so loud my friend and I had to abandon our seats and retreat to the lobby. With a massive concrete wall between us and the band, they were still perfectly audible, just no longer painful.)

At Leonard Cohen concert in Cardiff last night. What an example of ageing positively. Grace and dignity with youthful intelligence. #ageing

(editorial note: this poster appears to have been to the LC concert in Cardiff a full 24 hours before anyone else! )

leonard cohen is better than you, deal with it

Gutted bod fi ddim yn mynd i weld Leonard Cohen heno!
Gutted that i was not going to see Leonard Cohen tonight!

Leonard Cohen is probably the most jewish-looking person I have ever seen.

Was too lazy to go see Leonard Cohen tonight. Regretting it massively, specially cos he so old now. Wahh

the fact that I'm the youngest person at this Leonard Cohen show by two world wars and then some

#Leonard Cohen singers. If they were drinks the Webb sisters would be a crispy Pinot Grigio, Sharon, a Rioja and himself a pint of Guinness

#LeonardCohen as amazing & soulful as ever in Cardiff, catch him if you can!

Only half way through and I already feel my money for the ticket is well spent! Loving it!! #LeonardCohen

First part of Leonard Cohen amazing, though I fell asleep (not bored, just tipsy, tired and relaxed).

Well that was special. 15 ft from Leonard Cohen through the encore. Great show. Great Cardiff audience

My day started with me singing along to Leonard Cohen @Starbucks. The day can't really suck when you start with Cohen.

I'll have whatever Leonard Cohen's on: he must be on his 7th encore and has tweaked better than Miley throughout. The man is a legend

Leonard Cohen in Cardiff-definitely worth getting home late on a school night to watch all 6 encores. Wow!” Late start tomorrow

Leonard Cohen in Cardiff tonight. What a man #sixencores” superb, goosebumps

#LeonardCohen was transcendent tonight. Chelsea Hotel No. 2 moved me to tears. Four encores.I am ruined for any one else.... #sigh

this one this evening, blew everyone away, never seen a mixed age crowd rush to stage!

Breathtaking performance by Leonard Cohen and his incredible band tonight in Cardiff

BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH Leonard Cohen fantastic, 3 1/2 hour set at 78! It's as though all music I'd ever heard before tonight was total crap.

Resulta absurdo que haya conocido a Leonard Cohen a los 22 años y no antes.
It's absurd that I got to know Leonard Cohen at 22 years old and not before.

Just had a wonderful evening at Leonard Cohen's concert in Cardiff. One of the best concerts ever. #leagueofhisown

Just saw Leonard Cohen - 3 hours on stage. At 79. Whilst Leonard stood (danced, and skipped) I'm glad I had a seat. He tells a good story.

To watch leonard cohen from a twelve feet was a nice feeling tonight..

[HelenOE]

Me gustaría mucho ser Leonard Cohen para que un traje de Armani me quedase igual de bien que un kesa budista.
I'd really like to be Leonard Cohen so that an Armani suit would fit me as well as a Buddhist kesa.

At times Leonard Cohen was a couple of cigarettes and a mambo beat short of sounding just like Tom Waits in Cardiff tonight, which is great

Another excellent concert tonight: Leonard Cohen in Cardiff. 3 hours of sublime music including 3 encores (9 songs).

@GodinGuitars just saw Leonard Cohen playing one of your guitars here in Cardiff - very nice!

Close my eyes... listen to Leonard Cohen... and think just one thing.

Did playing Leonard Cohen while taking my 18 hour-old son to a chiropractor's office after a home birth qualify him for Canadian citizenship

Learnt tonight that Leonard Cohen has never recorded a happy song ever

My daughter has discovered One Direction. On the bright side, I now have an excuse to mutter "talentless spunk trumpets" under my breath.

rumour has it that a 12 hour car ride listening only to Leonard Cohen is being researched as a cure.

Basking in the light of Leonard Cohen last night.

Leonard Cohen, Cardiff last night. Unlikely that I'll ever be at a better gig. Leonard amazing, Band amazing, Singers amazing, Crowd amazing

Leonard Cohen was amazing. Nearly 3.5 hours of beautiful music. Such w great performer and an amazing band. He is so sprightly too.

Best early birthday present ever: 2 x tickets for Leonard Cohen on Saturday. Gonna bawl my eyes out & start a mosh pit. What a result!

Te pones a escuchar a #LeonardCohen y de pronto tu mañana es maravillosa
You start listening to #LeonardCohen and suddenly your morning is wonderful

Is 'The Boss' that Leonard Cohen refers to in 'Closing Time' meant to be @springsteen ? It would make sense.

You can call me a yahoo but every time I hear One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong by Leonard Cohen I think of I Am A Cider Drinker by The Wurzels

My very first tweet was a leonard cohen quote wtf, I was 12

Let your 5-year-old listen to Leonard Cohen singing "Everybody Knows" and there will be a LOT of questions. "His dog just died?"

Leonard Cohen was amazing last night. I liked it when he skipped.

Por más que quiero ser infiel Leonard Cohen no me deja
No matter how much I want to be unfaithful, Leonard Cohen won't let me.

yeah today I got neko case, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen all in a row. That's that shit my parents like (and me too)

Every work with Leonard Cohen in the background is destined for success.

That's right Lana Del Rey. Cover Leonard Cohen. You know where genius is at.

Changing my mind from covering a punk song to covering a Leonard Cohen song. The benefit is I can ACTUALLY sing that song.

need to stop spending my money on leonard cohen and echo and the bunnymen albums, but i know i won't

Boy at work saw Leonard Cohen last night. Someone said I'd been to one of his concerts. He was disappointed to find it wasn't in the 60s.

[HelenOE]

My mood right now, best summed up by Leonard Cohen: "the summer night is fragrant with the mighty expectation of relief"

"Out of the thousands who are known, or wish to be known, as poets, one or two are genuine. The rest are fakes..." - Leonard Cohen

1/3 Parents are going to see Leonard Cohen at Leeds Arena tomorrow night. Whilst at a restaurant tonight they ended up sitting next to him.

2/3 Mum texted me in excitement. I responded with 'Be cool guys' She responded : 'I just went over for a lovely wee chat'...

3/3 So pretty sure Leonard Cohen now knows how my little brother is getting on in his new job.

I just bought: 'Old Ideas' by Leonard Cohen after seeing him in Cardiff for the first time since 1974!

In the words of Leonard Cohen, I ache in the places where I used to play. Today's 8-mile walk took its toll.

Leonard Cohen is good for what ails you. #youaremostwelcomeforthereminder

Playing country music in shop today, little girl said I was a very sad lady. Thank god she did not come on Leonard Cohen Tuesdays!!!

Crazy thought but....: Is not Leonard Cohen more of a poet ('don't you know it') than Dylan?

So so so excited for Leonard Cohen tomorrow now

Does anyone know why Leonard Cohen's blue raincoat became famous whilst his pink sou'wester languished in obscurity?

[HelenOE]

it has come to my attn that an unclear tweet earlier may have left you w/ the impression that I am not in favour of leonard cohen

I am in fact radically in favour of leonard cohen

the weirdly courtly sex/death-obsessed oeuvre of leonard cohen

Leonard Cohen playing, coffee brewing. 10 bags of stuff and 3 bits of furniture already binned/donated today. Great start to the weekend.

Spending tonight in the awesome presence of Leonard Cohen at #LeedsArena

The only thing better than a Leonard Cohen CD is a Leonard Cohen live concert CD.

Looking forward to seeing Leonard Cohen tonight at Leeds Arena. It's like meeting God.

Before meeting God you have to meet me. 4pm sharp

I will be in his righthand man's chamber by 4pm. Or is that Paddy McAloon's place?

I am waiting for a Leonard Cohen concert to start. I am so excited it's making me feel a little bit sick

I've seen two olds blokes so far dressed EXACTLY like Leonard Cohen. There's one near me now. I'll try and get a picture.

I'm at a Leonard Cohen gig. You have no idea how happy this makes me.

Leonard Cohen had better be good! Vertigo at Leeds arena.

Leonard Cohen's cover of "can't help falling in love" is stunning. That gruff old voice does something amazing.

.

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. What a wonderfully pious man.

Desconozco muchos artistas que H. Pone en Twitter! Pero telita al escucharlos,gran descubrimiento el de #LeonardCohen Gracias Socio!
I don't know many of the artists that H. puts on Twitter! But then listening tothem... #LeonardCohen was a great discovery. Thanks pal!

A full day of listening to Leonard Cohen in prep for the gig tonight @fdarena . I'm very giddy, Leonard to see & 1st visit to Leeds Arena.

Organic wine and Leonard Cohen all day? I'm putting you on suicide watch mate.

better not be organic or I'm not drinking it. And no need, #LeonardCohen is joyful, funny and life affirning.

Lovely service. The priest quoted Leonard Cohen but not Hallelujah. #Nuniversary

I can relate so well to 'Dress Rehearsal Rag' by Leonard Cohen it's terrifying. This song is literally me.

En route to Leonard Cohen. I can't bloody wait.

Everyone's going to see Leonard Cohen but me. I love his music but I wouldn't want to see him live its too private

This has been in my head for 3 days! Woke with it again this AM ? Anthem - Leonard Cohen

At Leonard Cohen gig. The trilby count is off the chart #geriatrichipsters

Just me, Leonard Cohen & thousands of other fans in LeedsLeedsLeeds arena. Looking forward to seeing/hearing a living legend in the flesh.

Worked the VIP room at the Leonard Cohen gig tonight. Was in the arena when the great man himself was sound checking #shiversandtingles #wow

Leonard Cohen tells Leeds arena audience: "If your tickets have endangered your household budgets, I apologise..."

First Leonard Cohen set over. Only been moved to tears the four times so far...

He drops to his knees like Elvis in slow motion. At79 Leonard Cohen is the miracle. Leeds Arena loves him.

Leonard Cohen sublime tonight @ Leeds Arena @ First Direct Arena http://instagram.com/p/d-OPveD29N/

Leonard Cohen band is awesome

It's the interval at the #leonardcohen gig. I could leave now and have had double my money's worth (not going to happen though)!

Leonard Cohen at the new enormodome: it's the interval. Not just a gap between bands. A proper interval.

Listening to the 'would you' conversation behind me in the queue for the ladies at Leonard Cohen!

I don't know what just happened. I tell I lie. I do. Leonard Cohen just happened. And I think i was born again. MOST spiritual experience.

Clearly I was wrong about Leonard Cohen. He's already won #xfactor #Hallelujah

Some evenings of music lift the soul and make life more complete. Thanks #leonardcohen - consummate entertainer .

Age is just a number and my god did Leonard Cohen @fdarena tonight prove that!#amazinggig

How to do justice to Leonard Cohen's voice? I can still feel it reverberating through me.

Leonard Cohen...the venerable...one word... Superb!

You should see Leonard Cohen live. You will laugh, you will cry, you will envy his supple knees.

Leonard Cohen 'born with a golden voice' indeed. Brilliant concert - seven stars out of five.

Back from seeing Leonard Cohen at Leeds Arena, he really would have played all night but for the curfew! Great band and fabulous concert ...

Driving my parents to and from seeing Leonard Cohen isn't the most rock n roll Saturday night I've ever had. Live too bloody fast sometimes

Cannot believe Leonard Cohen is 800 yrs old. His voice is perfect. Makes me cry as much as #Moz

Wild conversation in car back from Leonard Cohen about how Sharon Robinson brought Leonard down from mountain. With cheese is fave at mo.

Goes without saying that Leonard Cohen was utterly fantastic. But I'm saying it anyway. Because he was. Utterly. Fantastic.

Another wonderful Leonard Cohen concert, beautiful to hear Chelsea Hotel no 2 again. Sad to think this was prob the last time I'll see him

Leonard Cohen was enchanting tonight @fdarena in Leeds. Amazing musicians & singers in his band too

Over three hours of wonderful music, warmth, wit and love. Thank you Leonard Cohen

140 characters can't really do justice to how good Leonard Cohen was this evening.

Tonight's Leonard Cohen gig rates up along #Moz at Hull in terms of phenomenal.

Leonard Cohen gig fantastic. Hairs on the back of the neck for many songs. Awesome band as well.

Just seen Leonard Cohen at Leeds Arena. The most magnificent concert I have ever heard, fabulous musicianship, great vocals, fantastic songs

Leonard Cohen was astounding. An unforgettable experience.

Leonard Cohen in Leeds this evening. Still sprightly and his voice just gets better and better. 'It's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah'

Leonard Cohen at Leeds First Direct Arena was fabulous last night. 78 and so cool with fabulous bunch of musicians and backing singers.

on the way home from seeing Leonard Cohen at Leeds @fdarena - lost for words trying to describe how amazing that was.

If any of you get the opportunity to travel back in time and go to the Leonard Cohen concert in Leeds this evening I highly recommend it

John Hurt, he could do it. I trust John Hurt, he's the Leonard Cohen of film. Safe hands.

He: "You fancy Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen...as in now? Aren't they too young for you?"

Feeling incredibly privileged to have seen so much talent on one stage #LeonardCohen

I could go on all night about how brilliant I thought the Leonard Cohen gig was...[link to facebook page] and how wonderful the musicians were, and how his humour, sexiness and poetry made us feel part of something special, and what great quality and value his three and a quarter hours on stage were, but instead I'll sum it up in one word - SUBLIME!

Incredible concert, spine-tingling from the start, loved every second #leonardcohen

Los que amamos a Leonard Cohen y sus canciones albergamos belleza en el corazón...
Those of us who love Leonard Cohen and his songs harbor beauty in our hearts...

I miss how my mom would cut newspaper clippings of Leonard Cohen & send to me in the mail or pin them on my bedroom wall for my visits home

You #music fans, what's the greatest comeback record of all time? Or, at least, what's your favourite?

Comeback from what?

An absence or adversity or otherwise shitty time in their career. DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A COMEBACK RECORD IS!

Okay, broadest definition. Gotcha. Personal favourites would be Manics' Everything Must Go, Leonard Cohen's Old Ideas...

That was about the most moving and sublime performance I've ever seen.

exactly, and if anyone ever tells me again that Leonard Cohen is depressing .... aaaaaargh!

This kind of day. Leonard Cohen - That Don't Make it Junk

I came so far for beauty! Leonard Cohen gave it all @fdarena last night.Superb show, more please!

Such creativity. Todd Herzog weaved Leonard Cohen's "Who By Fire" into the Rosh Hashana service. Outstanding

[HelenOE]

I connect to every Leonard Cohen song. Since I was about 13 & first heard So Long Marianne. He speaks directly to my soul.

Couldn't get over how for Leonard Cohen was last night. Obviously the voice not as good but eh, he still has the #goldenvoice

Really enjoyed my night out at Leonard Cohen gig. Nearly 79 but wow, he can still cut it. Superb accompanying band as well.

Unfortunate dead air moment on todayfm's Classic Hits show there -

"Now a double from Leonard Cohen"

*silence*

*Blurred Lines* starts

Leonard Cohen was brilliant, so was seeing my dad turn round to some loud people and say 'We paid to hear him, not you.'

Saw Leonard #Cohen 79-year old crooner and poet at first direct arena last night. Superb performance, great venue

Listening to Leonard Cohen 'Ten New Songs' to hear some of songs from last night. Sharon Robinson singing Alexandra Leaving was sublime

As writers go, I can't think of anyone who comes close to Leonard Cohen. A command of language & cadence I'd stab a kitten to achieve.

Leonard Cohen was unbelievable. So glad we got Lover Lover Lover amongst other incredible songs.

Last night I saw Leonard Cohen sing Famous Blue Raincoat. Frankly, I think things have peaked now.

@fdarena Leonard Cohen sensational, better than Elton

so wrong about Leonard Cohen! Absolutely brilliant show! And did 3 hours! At 78! Also excellent band and backing singers!

Amazing Leonard Cohen concert last night in Leeds. Songs, poems, musicians sublime! What a great man.

Definitely worth getting stranded in Leeds just to say I've seen Leonard Cohen. Nothing can top the performance he put on last night.

The Leonard Cohen song 'Hallelujah' wasn't really about religion or sex. It was about handing the kids to their other parent for a week off.

At #NECarena with dad waiting to see Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen tonight this should be a gas!

Unexpectedly going to see Leonard Cohen tonight

Taking Mr Bond to see Leonard Cohen as a belated father's day thing tonight because I'm nice like that.

#LGArena We're on our way Get the tea and oranges ready. #leonardcohen

My mum and I have a habit of randomly bursting out in song - tonight, it's leonard cohen.

A good way to let everyone know you cry in the shower a lot is to post Leonard Cohen lyrics as your Facebook status.

LeonardCohen at LG
I'm the youngest person here!
No queue at bar, but if you want a nice cup of tea your stuffed.
C'mon Leonard. Don't die..

Leonard Cohen is a dude! great night in Cardiff last week -

I've thought about it, and it *is* ironic that Leonard Cohen has to play the ugly & impersonal Leeds Arena. But still a sublime experience.

Leonard Cohen was all kinds of awesome. First We Take Manhattan was amazing

Leonard Cohen live at the NEC - supreme. On stage for nearly 4 hours and he's 80 next year #alleluia

There really are no words that would justifiably describe how good Leonard Cohen was tonight.

There's something that feels very transcendent, and I mean that in the strongest sense of the word, about Leonard Cohen's music and poetry.

Thankyou, Mr Leonard Cohen, storyteller of the soul, for a sublime evening of exquisite music and words. And hats.

Brilliant evening. Here's hoping I'll be half as sprightly at 79! #leonardcohen nearly 80 & still rocking

What a legend Leonard Cohen is! To be able to perform at 79 years old is amazing! He proves age is… http://instagram.com/p/eBE2bOjsEq/

Hoy tuve una visión. Mujer que tenga un tatuaje en la espalda y escuche a Leonard Cohen sera la mujer de mi vida.
I had a vision today. A woman who has a tattoo on her back and listens to Leonard Cohen will be the woman of my life.

The venue was awful but Leonard Cohen was amazing! @ The LG Arena

I think everybody at the LG Arena is now, if they weren't before, completely in love with Leonard Cohen.

Drinking homebrew weissbier, coding python and listening to Leonard Cohen (New Skin for the Old Ceremony)... good way to finish a busy week.

Word of advice, if you're hungover and trying to get drunk again, do no go and see Leonard Cohen, you will get depressed and cry!!

Just back from the Leonard Cohen concert at the LG. played for 3 hours, absolute legend. Great sense of humour as well as great music.

Great night at the LG Arena! I wish Leonard Cohen was my granddad. He'll be the coolest OAP ever!

I'm amazed at the amount of time Leonard Cohen spends crouching on stage. I'm 53 years his junior and I know I'd struggle to get up!

i feel like i've missed out on a lot in my life by not listening to leonard cohen sooner.

Just got back from seeing Leonard Cohen. Excellent, worth going out in the dark for ( it's an age thing)

at 78 years young, Leonard Cohen's sublime poetry, beautiful chord progressions+haunting melodies make him one of the best musicians alive.

//Just got back from Leonard Cohen. That was amazing. Only disappointment was that he didn't sing Alexandra Leaving. Otherwise... Ahhhh~

I like Leonard Cohen more than I like all of you put together x

Just got back from #leonardcohen at the LG arena, what a completely brilliant night, every member of his band was superb, Mr C u were FAB

varnishing again to leonard cohen songs, hey that's no way to say goodbye

What an amazing evening - Leonard Cohen and the band/singers were absolutely fantastic. I could have stayed all night listening.

[HelenOE]

Leonard Cohen at NEC fantastic, funny, melancholy, resilient, 3 hours at nearly 80, songs for all my adult life.

I met Leonard Cohen in a Vancouver elevator several years ago. He didn't recognize me.

how about instead of going to class today everybody just sits around listening to leonard cohen albums and making toast

A lesson in life last night at the Leonard Cohen concert in Birmingham: you're never too old to make an impact! (He's 80 next year!)

Fell asleep on train for five minutes; dreamt that Leonard Cohen was fighting a bunny.
I need to change coffee brand.

#lettertobands Dear Leonard Cohen people now think that Alexandra Burke sang/wrote hallelujah. We are sorry.

Caught M singing Leonard Cohen in her office. I defy anyone to sing a better version of "Dance Me to the End of Love" than my dear wife.

Fun fact: Last night Leonard Cohen called my Dad a "wonderful person"

if Leonard Cohen dies there's nothing left to live for

Louie, your family are fine. I checked on them this morning. Then I bolted the cellar door and put music on to drown out their cries #CBB

Alan I'm going to lock you in a room with only bbc 4 and Leonard Cohen music

Si todos los tíos tuviéramos la voz de Leonard Cohen follaríamos más.
If all us guys had the voice of Leonard Cohen we'd fuck more.

X Factor are really annoying me saying 'Hallelujah' is a song by Alexandra Burke. It's by Leonard Cohen! It came out before she was born!

LEONARD COHEN ON WEDNESDAY THOUGH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY

Urgente: activar audífonos colocar música de leonard cohen para huir de este país inundado por la propaganda ideológica castrochavista
Urgent: activate earphones put on leonard cohen music to escape from this country drowning in castro-chavista ideological propaganda

the Leonard Cohen show last night was utterly breathtaking #closingtime
