Leonard Cohen’s Dazzling Performances At Aug 12 Gent Concert: Going Home, Come Healing, First We Take Manhattan, The Partisan, Suzanne

August 12, 2012 Gent Videos

Note: As is my wont, I will eventually  over-analyze Leonard Cohen’s Gent performances, compare at stupefying length  Leonard Cohen 2012 Vs Leonard Cohen 2010 Vs Leonard Cohen 1967, pontificate on the Dance Fever implications of Cohen adding yet another song with a dance motif (Save The Last Dance For Me) to his repertoire, blather on about his attire and jewelry, … . But first things first – watching a master singer-songwriter perform trumps talking about it every time.

Now, back to the show …

Going Home

Come Healing

First We Take Manhattan

The Partisan

    i don’t know who took the b&w photograph of LC running towards the stage, but it’s a remarkable image – beautifully done

    Thought so too and have shared (twice over).
