Default Leonard Cohen's Tour

Anyone else gone or going? Went last night at the Paramount, played with a full band on all but 2 or 3 songs, was pretty mediocre to be honest. Still as great experience though. I was really disappointed at just how awful his renditions of Bird On A Wire and Hallelujah were. He read a beautiful version of A Thousand Kisses Deep, I'll post it later. He played for 3 and a half hours, so I really got my parent's money's worth.
Highlights:
The Future
Closing Time
Chelsea Hotel #2
The Gypsy's Wife
The Partisan (Best of the night, besides the poem he read)
Suzanne
So Long, Marianne
Famous Blue Rain Coat
A Thousand Kisses Deep (In poem form, with tweeked lyrics that I'll post)
Boogie Street
Dance Me To The End Of Love
