The man is one fine poet and at the age of 74 is still one kick ass performer, saw a recording of this gig a couple of weeks ago and was blown away. Some great musicians and backing vocalists made for an hour of very interesting listening and viewing, but do not take my word for it see and hear for yourselves:
Check out this version of Democracy and if you are not in the UK try clicking on the link to the LeonardCohen posted video of Hallelujah that is on that YouTube page. It does not work here but is worth spending the time to catch it.

I remember reading a review of sorts/feature on Cohen's tour last summer or fall (can't remember). I do remember wanting to see him in concert, but I just missed him. He's going to be in London on July 11 and Liverpool July 14 (don't know your proximity to those cities, but wasn't sure if you knew).
I like his voice and the delivery of his lyrics/poetry.
It is a shame, though, that he kind of forced to tour after being duped out of his money (that's what I remember from the article).
rt, It was a shame about his retirement fund going awol - but on the up side his recent performances have been just brilliant.
