I can't express how cool is this picture from Notes From The Road.

Even the Flemish prime minister is a big fan: (twitter):

Indrukwekkend optreden van Leonard Cohen op het sfeervolle Gentse Sint-Pietersplein! Fantastisch artiest, wordt beter met de jaren.

Impressive performance of LC on the atmospheric ? sint-pietersplein in Gent! Fantastic artist, gets better with the years.

Hey, any news about the set list?.. Surprisingly can't find any information.

Not to count this hint - sounds like the 1st half ended with Anthem, as usual:

" There's a crack in everything, that's when the light comes in" - Leonard Cohen, August 12, Gent

(source: twitter)

and started with dance me to the end of love

No mention of Old Ideas songs
