I am as excited as anyone and am hoping to get my ticket today (20 years since I last saw Leonard live).
I am also a bit concerned as this looks like a very gruelling schedule!
Don't overdo it Leonard!

a world tour at 73....
i'd be happy if i could walk up a set of stairs at that age.

ha ha ha your comment made me chuckle!!!!

Let's be frank I suppose he needs the money and to leave to his children after his manager ran off with his savings. I saw him on the Hall of Fame awards and he looked in good shape but flying round the world in pressurised jets isn't good for any one and especially, my friend who is a a social worker, tells me not good for older people who are more prone to chest infections and the like from the air in planes etc, I just hope Anjani and the management and crew take good care of him on tour.

I can assure you all that Leonard is 73, going on 37.

It's more a case of playing in places until he aches.

I expect it can't be helped, but it's a shame he'll have to travel back and forth the way he will. Like Lyon is near Nice, for instance, yet those two dates are not close to each other that much (at least at that point he'll be in that part of Europe, but there's Manchester, then Montreal, then Glastonbury. It creates more travelling for nothing.

Within 74 days he is planning to fly 3 times across Atlantic (not counting multiple flights within Europe), giving 38 concerts.
This gives a concert every other day !
Seems to me a bit unrealistic, even for a younger artist.

I'm in California, I won't be waiting for him to come back home to sing however, I'd rather go to one of the first concerts in Canada, who knows what can happen later.
