Hi all,

I'm brand new here. In fact, I joined so I could tell you about a short little video of Leonard that I took last night, Oct. 8th, where he said "I think I will go on tour again" to thunderous applause.

See it here:

That's all he said, and maybe you all already knew this, but still, I think it's pretty cool!

best,

Jordan Gruber

Thank you for sharing these Jordan.
I was tempted to call them "little snippets" but I realise that is just the jealousy talking!
How long did they speak for?
They certainly seem to know how to entertain and audience.
Thanks again

They spoke for a little less than 1.5 hours. Philip Glass spoke more than Leonard did, but Leonard said quite a lot. I'm glad you liked the snippets!

GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Two really fine captures, Jordan . Thank you SO much for joining, so as to share them . Welcome . The right place at the right time... and quick with your camera .

Excellent news... and typically excellent humour on Leonard's part .
I'll second that G ~ L ~ and multiple E's ~ Axel !!!

Might be the first time I camp out overnighnt for tickets....

Thanks for putting these here Jordan, they were a pleasure to watch and listen to.
When I hear cohen talking like this I am amazed that there are still a lot of people out there who continue to describe him as miserable and depressing, I just don't get it, or maybe its them who don't get it.
Thanks again

Wendy

You are exactly right, Wendy: Leonard brought such lightness, such brilliance, such wonder to the room that night that everyone laguhed almost the whole way through.

However, perhaps he is, indeed, less depressive now than he was for most of his life. Maybe, for example, his long association with Roshi, or perhaps just his own karma, has helped him work through things such that now, when we hear him, it feels that we are listening to someone who is indeed (if I can use the term, and I know it's a terrible term) "enlightened."

In any case, he brought much light and laughter to my heart, and seemed to light up the entire room that night.

Thanks Jordan,
I really appreciated seeing the clips (and am ready to travel as far as necessary to see the man in concert.

Leonard's SO relaxed and open and having a great time . He seems to have come to love these Conversations .
