He does this military greeting like covering of the light and tries to see his public. We are standing and applauding, I say goodbye moving my hand, see you, my friend, I love you. No more encore.

I think he might now struggle vocally with the range of some of the older songs.
I would expect a large majority of the songs to be from his 3 most recent albums ..TNS, DH and the next one.

As long as he's there on stage either singing, talking or just accepting the applause

Pete ~ You are right, but I think that all this is only a dream.

Hi, friends: After several discussions with my twin Chema, and thinking we´re in a new century and in an new intolerance global world where there is no place for love, nostalgic, dreams and folkers, we think the perfect Leonard Cohen´s concert in "a fundamental way" is:

1- Dance me to the end of love

2- Song of the new album

3- Boogie Street

4- The letters

5- Bird on the wire

6- Everybody knows

7- Here it is

8- There for you

9- Never any good

10- Song of the new album

11- First we take Manhattan

INTERMISSION

12- The stranger song

13- Song of the new album

14- In my secret life

15- Song of the new album

16- A thousand kisses deep

17- Because of

17- So long Marianne

18 Go no move a roving (each player introduced by Leonard)

ENCORES 1

19- If it be your will

20- Democracy

21- Take this waltz

ENCORES 2

22- Waiting for the miracle

23- Hallelujah (with a gospel zen chorus )

24- Suzanne

ENCORES 3
25- Tower of song (Leonard second voice)

Is it or not is it the best setlist for de new century?

I Agree With Pete,Leonard's Vocals Might Struggle On The Older Songs, Plenty Of Material For The Newer Albums, Although No Doubt The Odd Classics Would Appear In The Set List

"We Should Not Expect Or Get The Golden Voice Of Old"





"A Thousand Octaves Deep"
