Beatriz...May I first thank you for your wonderful first hand account. OMG. You were there!!!!

I recall reading a report (in Google translation) that the Gijon tribute concert was broadcast live.
But when Vegas made a politically sensitive statement, the broadcast was cut short with some "excuse".

Does this scenario sound familiar at all?

Edit: This may have been the sensitive statement?

singer Spaniard made a warning that has to do with the passion of Canadian Lorca: "Be careful because you may want to touch these days shaking hands with any of the he was murdered. "

And this is a good photo gallery of the event, you can see Lorca's nephew, the Web sisters, Javier Mas, and the Asturian choir singing Halelluja at the end with Leonard in tears.

This is a super photo gallery! Thank you Beatriz.
I love the photos of LC with big smile sitting on the floor with the youthful choir.

Pics 20 and 44 show a videographer immediately below LC's box.
So, perhaps in time we will get to watch the tribute concert.

Good catch Arlene - wouldn't it be nice to see the concert!

Beatriz - Thank you so much! Photos 29,30,31, with the black background are stunning. In 6,8,10,53, in addition to Robert Kory, isn't that a dapper Mike Scoble back there also? My favorite is 52 (and 54) WHAT A SMILE! What a charmer!

Looks like he put on a little weight - looking sooooo good! What jet lag?

Mike Scoble has been in Asturias too.
Extremly kind I've to say

Big Thank You to everybody for sharing all these wonderful Videos and Photos !!
Much Appreciated !!
Congratulations and Thank You Mr. Leonard Cohen !!

Am I being overly effusive when I say that this is the greatest picture ever taken in the history of the world?

Thanks, everyone, for the lovely updates, pictures, videos, reports, translations, comments, etc. What a wonderful event for Leonard and for Spain!

The official video with the arrival of the laureates walking the Blue Carpet is now available.

Superb close-up shots.
