Leonard Cohen was in fabulous form. The concert was everything I would have wanted. I wish it was longer, but it was well over 3 hours, so I can't complain.
and I mean that in the most complex, soulful, stern and insoucient way.
Leonard Cohen's performance at Radio City Hall was one of the best events I have ever seen and I've seen lots. His introduction of his performers was poetic and professional. His concert was profoundly sweet. My heart is still beating thinking of it.
This was one of the best concerts I have ever attended!!! Leonard Cohen is a supurb performer!
The concert was amazing! Cohen had an astounding amount of energy. Very moving experience!!
Leonard Cohen was simply amazing. He sang his soul out like this was the only concert on the whole tour. Every song was a work of art delivered without unnecessary fanfare. Wonderful back-up band with musicians and singers obviously accomplished in their own right. I waited 15 years for Cohen to play in the USA and wouldn't have missed it for anything!
This was an unforgettable performance. So elegant and giving to the audience. I have never seen such great talent all on one stage. I love LC and hope that those who are not famaliar with his music try this show. LC is a very deep man!
Very impressing concert, Leonard is the perfect host
The concert was fabulous. One of the best I've seen. He was amazingly peppy for his age and sexy too! What a great band he had with him. They were an act by themselves. Radio City was a great place to see him.
Leonard Cohen gave an unforgetable 3-hour performance.
I had never seen Leonard Cohen live before, even though I've been familiar with his music for probably 40 years. It was a great experience, and it was astounding that this esoteric Canadian singer was able to pack Radio City Music Hall.
Leonard Cohen's generosity of spirit shined in every song of this remarkable show. He was generous to his audience, playing for nearly three hours. He was generous to his band, allowing many of them a solo spot. And he was generous to the other singers on stage with him, giving them a chance to shine. The song selection was impeccable, covering the breadth of his remarkable career, and he worked with the limitations of his voice very well. Every member of the band was a virtuoso and found ways to add new twists and turns to many of the songs. It was a fantastic concert - all that I could have hoped for after waiting many years to see him live.
The best event of my life, he has been my favorite since I was 14 years old........now I am 50!!!
Six concerts, two continents, three countries, four cities and I am actually not a devoted and rabid Leonard Cohen fan. Having said that, this was fantastic as always, except a little better. Only overshadowed by pure brilliance of the first Toronto concert. It baffles me how come that there were still a few tickets left hours before the concert. Leonard Cohen concert will leave you wondering why you have been missing it all for last 10-15-20 years, even if you are really never going to buy his album. I have not been to many concerts this year, but , as far as live performances go, if this is not the most perfect live show this, and last, season what is? I know, it may sound like blasphemy to some, but this show was as mind-blowing as Michael Jackson shows in 1990s, just not the same kind of music. And of course, please don't judge this comparision unless you have been to both. Instead, buy an airline ticket and go to see at least Leonard while he is still on tour. You will not be sorry, you will not. I promise you.
This show was fantastic. I was afraid he would be too old to put on a great show but his energy level and performance were tremendous. The musicians and backup singers were very talented, the sets were long and tight and he played a lot of his classics as well as a good selection of his more recent work. 3 hours plus and my daughter and I would gladly have listened for another 3. He was excellent and had a great rapport with the audience. I had waited 30 years to see him and was absolutely amazed and pleased with the show. don't let the ticket prices scare you off. It was worth every penny!
I have been a fan for over 40 years. This concert was a delight. I am so happy that I had the chance to see him. It was a very special night.
Awesome concert. Where does he get his energy? Super performer who puts on a great show. Superb back up group.
This was truly a remarkable show, from the very beginning Leonard projected wit, wisdom and wonder. Every song was an amazing soulful, spiritual experience. I would recommend anyone who is even remotely a Leonard Cohen fan or simply a fan of good music to invest the time to see him live. The band that accompanied him along with his beautiful back up singers were also astoundingly good.
Well worth the long wait to finally see Leonard Cohen in concert. A transcendental experience.
THe show was possibly one of the best concerts I've ever been to and I've been to quite a few. His energy and humility and sense of awe at the crowd reaction to him was indescribable. His band and back up singers were terrific. His song selection was glorious, I heard everything I wanted to hear. He is a true poet and his voice is dark and strong and sexy as ever!! I loved it and would see him again in a minute.
