It's one of my favourite songs, and Leonard play it several times last year, but not in the concert I went, so I hope He will play it in León or Madrid!

Same here. Would love to hear it in Quebec city (yes, I know, I'm in the Summer Tour in Europe section but I couldn't resist).

I'd love to hear any of these (at Weybridge on July 11th please!);

Alexandra leaving
Master Song
Love Itself
Stranger Song
Take this longing
&
Sisters of Mercy (a pretty well known one but not played much on this tour?)

However, I wouldn't want him to drop Dance me to the end of love, I'm Your Man or the recitation of A Thousand Kisses Deep for anything else.

Here's hoping!

When i went to see Leonard Cohen last year he didnt play much of his older stuff (songs of love and hate etc), in my opinion he leaves his best music out. Just curious as to why he does this? Any ideas? Cheers

I think I've posted this same thing before but I can't seem to stop posting today (need to visit the "addicted" thread!)

1. Because Of
Because I think it would even more fun (if that's possible) than I'm Your Man in terms of the, um, audience reaction Image

2. Lady of Solitude
it's a short, sweet song (they could easily throw it in the set!) and I love, love, love the drum in it. Rafael Gayol would be amazing...
