"I do not know When We'll meet again, but tonight we'll give you everything we've got." He really respected this commitment - on both evenings. And the musicians did the same, and he offered them each occasions, individually introduce musically. His voice has obviously changed since 1967, when I heard him for the first time; small advisory group and it centrally on a bar stool with the guitar - not a chorus, what the intensity of his poetry still insisted that I had come to appreciate the novel "Beautiful Losers". Today it might be a little less chorus to my taste, but that's very personal.
At 12:09 of the morning. I read in the hotel's criticism in the "Irish Times", which so brought it to the point: "His voice is pure liquid gold - with a dash of bourbon and just a dollop of guilt and self-loathing." The also expressed my feelings of Eve from perfect and I have some people (also 55+) seen that held after two concerts with significantly reddened eyes at their drinks. Cohen had met with his interpretations not only their nerve, but also my - to sleep until noon the 12:09. not to think, and in the evening to feel the previous day immediately set again, as if you went only once just before the door.
Although the image recording brings something across from the atmosphere, but can not transfer the tangible magic of the concert emotional. Nevertheless, it is of course an absolute must for any fan. I had two weeks ago for a few days, the Blu-ray set (according to "Rolling Stone" so far the only concert that was recorded in HD) and it is just wonderful. Even if you have not even seen it, already the CDs run with closed eyes belongs into the midst of the spell which had occupied the spot from 20 Young and old to 70+ - you put a spell on us. The sound quality is very good for a live recording and the Blu-ray model is equally successful, with it brings crisp colors and the picture direction for me acting peaceful oasis.
The song list is shown; it is a mixture of his oeuvre to the present day. CD 1 & 2 include the actual concert, CD 3, the three encores (3 + 3 + 2); Overall, Cohen took more than three and a half hours each time for his fans - and with nearly 79 years and two nights in a row! This is followed should also learn a lesson clearly younger artists / bands. The bonus tracks of the DVD (Show me the place, Anyhow, Different sides) are of three performances in April 2013 in Canada.
An absolute buy recommendation for any fan, but Take time to enjoy this incomparable atmosphere and to drift.
