"some hints from the studio suggest that they should be wrapping everything up quite soon"
Any chance on hints which suggest the number of musicians involved, the style of production(like should we expect versions close to the ones heard live)?

Ah, Jarkko's famous "hints"
I guess I have about one year to recover my debts from following the last year's tour and prepare for the new round

I'm retiring in December so I will have loads of time to travel to concerts. Let's hope the dream becomes a reality!

How fantastic this would be.
The first time I ever saw Leaonard was at Montreux in 2008 - the best night ever!

Re: LC will give 2 concerts at the Montreux Jazz festival 20
I believe these rumours are pre-talks, negotiations and pre-offers by the agencies and festivals, as it is known that Leonard Cohen announced his *possible* tour with the same band after he finishes his new studio album. If the album is released until Spring 2012, the logical start of the tour are Summer festivals of 2012. So the first offers are probably on the way to AEG Live (tour agency in UK which is organising Lenard's tour) and this is the first which leaked from the local agencies and offices. Nothing to be excited yet - we know from the beginning that there's a possibility for the tour, and offers will be coming from the usual places (we can imagine most of the arenas and festivals from 20008-10 willing to host a Cohen show again).
