| Was at the Sydney concert last night, and saw one of the more extraordinary concerts, and I've been to many. I still can't believe he is 74 years, dancing on stage, and still with that magical voice. I too saw him in the 80s, and he still has it. |

| I was at the entertainment centre last night..There to accompany a friend I bought tickets for..I had no interest in Cohen..That is before I saw him. Brillant performance by him and the members of his band. I have seen alot of shows, that will go with me throughout my life and I am now a big fan of Leonard...I was very fortunate to be there. |

| Leonard did with his stage presence what he does with his words, created fun while producing deeper meaning. He shared his youthful spirit,and his mind and wit are as shape as ever. And his band were so good ... |

| I think it really is a shame that an artist like Leonard Cohen will not be performing in Canberra - what are we supposed to do when we have to compete against the millions of people in Sydney and Melbourne for tickets.... |

| Magical, amazing,I can't find words to describe properly the show Leonard Cohen did last night in Hunter Valley,a warm beautiful night, a sunset of pink, gold & red and the music & spirit of the man was the most fantastic show I have ever been to! |

| LC and his band of superb musicians wowed us at Centennial Vineyards Bowral last night. What an experience for a previously lukewarm fan like me. I am considering retiring from concert attendance. Nothing else will compare. |

Thank you Jeonard Cohen. |

I should also mention that Paul Kelly was awesome, at least when I saw him
He might be old news to most Aussies but i'm just getting into him. my dad reckons he was the only guy who could support Cohen... i'd say Augie March probably did well as well
Cohen was pure class and worth every penny

| I was at the Bowral concert - amazing, wonderful, a privilege to be at such a magical event. As Leonard Cohen said, we were all fortunate to be part of such a peaceful gathering of happy people; more than that, to be entertained and uplifted by his genius and beautiful spirit. |

There should be some setlists on the web... a better question would be 'what didn't he play?'. i remember Suzzane, Halleljuah, So Long Marianne, The Future, Bird On A Wire, Chelsea Hotel #9 (only Cohen can make having sex with Janis Joplin sound sexy), Dance Me To The End Of Love, Anthem, Democracy, First We Take Manhatten (such a scary song!), Joan Of Arc, A Thousand Kisses Deep (he did part of this solo, as a poem), Famous Blue Raincoat....
i'll try to remember more |

| I saw him in Bowral and it was sheer ecstasy for all the senses. It was nothing short of magical. I don't think I'll ever go to a better concert nor encounter a more stunningly gifted and purely humble human being. What a priviledge. |

He played, All the songs previously mentioned, plus closing time, take this waltz, ring the bell, boogie street, secret life, the webb sisters did "If it be your will", I'm your man...thats all I can remember.
A woman said to me as we were leaving, "I've always been a fan, but now I'm besotted". Ditto! |
