Leonard Cohen

[WaltonRed]

I just got an email saying he was playing Liverpool in July but when I went on the site it had nothing about it.

 

Anyone know if he really is because I'm well going?

[Hand Shandy]

Pre-season friendly?

 

Should be an easy run out - he's getting on a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry.

[Hand Shandy]

Try this...

[WaltonRed]

Ta mate.

[Faustus]

When are they on general sale?

[ISeeRed]

'Everybody Knows' is the canine's gonads.

[HurdyGurdyMan]

Hope he's better than their Avi.

[ISeeRed]

Every time I try to embed a YouTube video if comes up as a blank white square, so please click on this to see a rather camp video accompanying LC's 'Everybody Knows'

 

I love the lyrics:

 

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

 

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

 

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

 

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

 

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died

 

Etc. etc...

[WaltonRed]

Friday they start at £55 so i'm out!

[Lupin]

I'll see that - I like a happy tune!

[hamstrung]

'Everybody Knows' is the canine's gonads.

 

You're right there.

 

80's teen flick Pump Up the Volume got me onto it, and as a result, him in general.

 

£55 is ridiculous to see him though. He must be skint - what with that and selling "Hallelujah" to anyone that asks.

Leonard Cohen at glastonbury last year was the best gig I've ever seen in my life. I ended up stood on my own, tears pouring down my face...maybe the culmination of four days of amazing experiences and heavy drinking, but that voice singing "Suzanne" as the sun went down was a moment I'll never forget as long as I live. A quasi-religious experience.

He is

 

Leonard Cohen Goes Broke

 

Never seen him live before so I'd like to go, but it's too much

His girlfriend who was also his manager was on the take and left him nearly bankrupt so thats why he's still touring and charging those prices.

True my friend it was unreal. I've got to get my Leeds Festival tickets monday so thats why i cant get them.

[hamstrung]

That's a bit shit. Can't blame him then really. Losing a lifetime's money.

[greenoak]

£75 elsewhere..

[Faustus]

God, I really wish I was going now. I couldn't afford the tickets when they first came out and now I'm earning a bit of money, they're all sold out. Sods law!

 

Anyway, I just thought I'd bump this because I'm having a pure Leonard Cohen day. I find that the pitch of his voice helps soothe my hangover. I'm currently sat at my PC listening to him on youtube with a pint of Coke to make the bastard go away!

 

Seeing him at Glasto was absolutely unreal. Best gig I've ever been to. I had to hold the tears back just so I wouldn't cry in front of my mate!

[Special K]

I've paid an extortianate amount to go and see him at the arena too but I believe he's fantastic live

[WaltonRed]

If I had the dough I'd pay it.

 

Liam, pay a tout la, you wont regret it!

 

I'm going to cry to Neil Young and the Boss...not arsed though!

[Faustus]

That's what I think I'll end up doing, to be honest!

[aladdinsane]

Can't wait for this tonight.

 

Faustus, it's very late in the day, but I saw two days ago on seetickets they had a few new tickets. It says contact the venue now so maybe worth a phonecall if you see this in the next few hours.

You must be a quasi-Canadian.

 

You have an image of Bryan Adams on a dart board?

 

If so you are in the Canadian Club.

Mug a tout, much better idea, take his money and distribute the other tickets to deserving people, I really fucking hate touts.

 

I saw Leonard Cohen at Benicassim last year, he was amazing. I, like many people there, ended up in floods of tears, it really was an incredible experience. I will echo the sentiments above about it being a quasi-religious experience. Indescribable really.

 

If you are going tonight enjoy it.

I do indeed have a picture of Adams on my dart board.
