Leonard Cohan and I share a birthday but he is a little older - well, 14 years older: he is 79. And we both have a son named Adam who is a musician.
But that is where the similarity ends. I don't have a musical bone in my body, but I know what I like and I really liked this concert. It was gentle and clever, professional and passionate, rousing and romantic.
The posters that were used in Paris last week.
A photo from his blog: sound check at the Bercy, Paris - 18 June 2013.
The stadium is filling up.
Waiting for the show to begin.
Here we go.
Six musicians and three singers.
Another photo from his blog - last song before the break.
He performed for 45 minutes, had a 20 minute break and performed for another 50 minutes.
First song after the break, he played keyboards.
On the big screen - singing Hallelujah - nearly at the end.
In a suit and waistcoat, with the hat for the whole show.
What a concert! What a performer! What a songwriter! What a body of work!
