This is how Leonard said thank you to the audience in Dublin, for singing in the pouring rain the chorus to 'So long Marianne' .
This is also how I thanked him at the Prince Edward concert for taking effort and touring again, on the card attached to the bouquet of roses : 'thank you for being Leonard Cohen'

Wilfred Langmaid of The Daily Gleaner in Fredericton, NB, Canada (the first concert of the tour), May 16/08:
"It was one of those electric evenings that will be etched in my mind forever. Put it this way: When my time on this mortal coil nears to a close and, if by grace, some pivotal life moments are allowed to rattle back into my mind, this night will be one of them."
