Which "lesser known" songs do you wish Leonard would play?

I don't know if I will be able to see another concert this year, but I'd like the following included in the set:

Diamonds in the mine
The Stranger Song
Waiting for the miracle
I can't forget
Light as a breeze
The Captain
Lover Lover Lover
The faith
I left a woman waiting
The smokey life
Go no more a-roving

Passing Thru
Diamonds In The Mine
Undertow

*Chelsea Hotel (not lesser known but I wish he would play it none the less)

Alexandra Leaving please!!!!!!!!!! The Kilmainham show last year was sublime, but if we were to hear Alexandra Leaving in the O2 on the 19th July... I believe my life would be complete

I'm so desperate to see leonard live, I don't even care what he plays...
but Famous Blue Raincoat and One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong could be really nice

I just saw him April 2 in Austin. I had a very good feeling he wouldn't play the songs I wanted to here most! He played a few,however: So Long, Marianne, The Partisan Song, Who By Fire, I Tried to Leave You. Anyhow, I wish he would have played ALL of Songs from a Room (He played a couple, including Bird on a Wire which is one of my least favorite Cohen tunes, not sure why, I've just never liked it). I would have liked to have heard:

The Butcher
The Old Revolution
Lady Midnight
The Ballad of Absent Mare
Blessed is the Memory
Sing Another Song Boys

Well I had a list of about 20 but really my top 5 requests would be:

Take this longing
The stranger song
Light as the breeze
Here it is
By the rivers dark

well, can't leave off:

You have loved enough

But really won't mind what he plays in Liverpool as long I am there...

I would love to hear Death of a Ladies Man and maybe some more from that album. I know he more or less disowns it, but its greatly under-rated. Anyone know does he ever play any songs from the album?

Light as a breeze and Famous Blue Raincoat.
But what I want most is to hear the recitation of Thousand Kisses Deep again and again. It blew me away in Kilmainham last year. Roll on July

Kalevala · Post by **Kalevala** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 12:26 am

For me I would love to hear:

The lost Canadian (un Canadian errant)
Please don't pass me by
Ballard of the abset mare
Jazz Police
Don't go home with your hard-on
There is a war

and finally

A singer must die (If that is too depressing then Diamonds in the mine)

Would love to hear "Humbled in Love". This song has everything and shows him at his best.

When I heard him sing The Partisan at the Royal Albert Hall, I thought my heart would tumble out of its socket! I know it is not really a lesser known song, however I would love this to be added to his forthcoming tour.....and Dance me to the end of love , Gypsy wife,Take this Waltz, Famous blue raincoat,Bird on the Wire, Anthem, Midnight Lady,Sisters of Mercy....And hopefully another recitation....that was also heart stopping!!...the list is endless. His repetoire on tour 2008 was inspired! The only song I would leave out is Jazz police
Actually, I would like to hear him play the songs that inspire him most these days!
