Once More - Happy Birthday, Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen Turns 74 In Bucharest
Leonard Cohen celebrated his birthday with 10,000 of his closest fans in Bucharest yesterday.
Leonard Cohen - 2008 Bucharest Concert
In what has become the standard template of the Leonard Cohen World Tour, the concert was sold out and repeatedly described as a spectacular, transcendent performance.

New Song - Happy Birthday Sung By Bucharest Audience - Added To Cohen Concert Set List
The Youtube offering embedded below is not a great video but it is a grand experience. In addition to Cohen’s typically superb performance of Famous Blue Raincoat, there is a bonus. As the video starts, one can hear the final bars of the audience singing Happy Birthday to Leonard Cohen.
The following video is a fine version of Closing Time, including a better than usual view of the band and the Webb Sisters. (Missing in action, however, is Sharon Robinson.) Not to be missed is Cohen's high-stepping stage exit in the final seconds of the video that belies the singer-songwriter's 74 years.
