The much anticipated Leonard Cohen concert at the Entertainment Centre in Sydney was a definite once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a rare evening of beautiful music and first class performance. Listening and watching to Leonard Cohen is an act of inspiration. He is the incarnation of a wise and gentle person, an absolute down to earth poet and performer. His voice is his signature. His presence is sereine and yet so powerful.
I spent three and half hours living with thousands other Cohen admirers an unforgetable concert. Four years ago, i had the priviledge to see Charles Aznavour live in Paris and that was until recently the best concert i ever been. It is hard to compare Cohen with Aznavour and i have great admiration for both. However, Cohen is deeper and perhaps more touching as an artist.
After this concert, Cohen is now at the peak of my favourite singers of all times. Will i see him again live? I sincerely hope so although his last concert in Australia was fifteen years ago and if he will wait again fifteen years, he will be close to ninety.
