Come Healing The Sisters Webb start the healing.

Back in 20 for the second half of the show

can’t keep track of each fallen robin

lover lover lover It is official, Kingston was the wildcard hot ticket of this tour. Chelsea Hotel, La Manic, and the second set is still going strong.

@StellarJana The Leonard Cohen crowd is interesting; a lot of Mom Dates. And a standing ovation as he walked on stage. #ygk #cohenygk

Save The Last Dance For Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq2z9qrwRW4

Lover, lover, lover!

Another great night. Thanks to Cate for organizing the "I'm your Man" dinner!

A more subdued and grayer crowd than my two previous concerts, but they got into it by the end.

Highlights for me were: Lover, Lover, Lover and LC performing Chelsea Hotel alone, just the man and his guitar. And La Manic. He took some time with the anglo audience in Kingston and explained a bit of the history of the Manic Hydro electric building project. He translated the first sentence for the audience: "If you knew just what a drag it is to be here at La Manic, you'd write to me more often." I wonder if we might hear the translated version at some point?

Missing from the set list was Heart with No Companion and The Partisan. Plus in encores he skipped I Tried to Leave You and ended with Save the Last Dance for Me.

My 8 year old daughter was pretty exhausted by the end, but I think she enjoyed it. She was able to get Javier's set list, two pages long in extra large font. A pretty good souvenir from her first ever concert! Not surprisingly for a little girl perhaps she just loved the Webb Sisters. And the violin. And LC made her laugh out loud a couple of times.

A great night.

Paula

What a lovely review Paula. I'm so glad your daughter entyed the show and has her special souvenir.

I wonder what Leonard has in mind for his US audiences. I suspect we have heard
The last of La Manic, for this tour at least.

I'm not sure that this relates to Kingston - but was a tweet from last night

@LauraCalder - My editor gave me these handkerchiefs for Christmas. She got them for free...at a Leonard Cohen concert. pic.twitter.com/cpjeXPot

@stargonenova - There are no words for how amazing Leonard Cohen was last night. Once in a lifetime experience.

@billmilliken Recovering from Leonard Cohen. That old man kept me up way past my bedtime. What a performance!
@billmilliken good man that Leonard Cohen! Last of the great Canadian poets!

@foodiePrints He is a great poet. Every musician on stage was as great in their way. What a combination!

I want videos!! (someone, please!)

Lover, Lover, Lover was a complete surprise. The arrangement was very different than the last tour, more upbeat. Yes Lisa, I hope someone managed to record it. I also hope someone captured Darkness. During Rafael' s drum solo Leonard was kind of chanting. I got the impresssion it was a bit of shared joke with Rafael!
