        • I'm so glad you posted this. I think I'll get my husband some tickets as this is something he would really like. I hope they haven't sold out tickets.

    • Cohen has been on his first tour in 15 years. Europe, Asia, Australia, canada and now US and canada again. The reviews have been uniformly sensational. Three hour tour de force concert. I have seen Streisand 3 times, Sinatra in 1986 in Carnegie Hall, Dylan many times. But this Leonard concert was an ethereal experience. If you like poetry set to gorgeous music, it is a once in a life time must.

          • Wow - you saw Bob Marley? That's the one performer I would have loved to have seen. My dh saw the Beatles and it was an "experience" but a horrible musical experience.

            • It was a little strange--he was not a large man and seemed very vulnerable on the stage, for all his energy. Oddly enough, he reminded me of George Jones in a way--sort of a focused vulnerability.

          • I love Sonny Rollins! The best concert I've seen recently was The Police at the garden. They were on fire! B52s opened for them. I had the best seats in the house.
