I noticed that for both the Brighton and the Manchester concerts (maybe others) Leonard wore a ring on his left hand through the first half but it was missing for the rest of the show. Does he always do this?

He wears the ring up to the point of when he plays the guitar which is normally Who By Fire.

DrHGuy has written two interesting posts on this question:

Leonard Cohen’s Now You See It, Now You Don’t Unified Heart Ring Trick

Resolving The Mystery Of Leonard Cohen’s Ring

I can think of at least one occasion when Leonard started to play the background riff in Who By Fire? with the ring on then stopped, removed the ring and popped it in to his pocket before playing again. Couldn't tell you where or when though!
