"Javier Mas" ! His playing on this version of the song takes me places I thought only Drugs could...transcendent

[yoni86]

Duquende

[LolasTubular]

I adore this man... seeing him live in 2009 was truly a religious experience! Thank you, L. Cohen, with love.

Ihad the privilege of attending his and his band's superb performance during the night of the 29th of Sep 2010 at Dortmund's "Westfalenhalle" /GER... It felt like Cohen was celebrating a "high mass" and we all hoped that it would never end...

@KhomeTaz

I made the same beautiful experience on September 5th 2010, in St. Margarethen, Austria. This concert wasn't only wonderful music, it was, as you named it, kind of a high mass, and to take part in it altered a lot ! Some things in my life have changed since then... Thank you, great Leonard Cohen!

[ntayomba]

@KhomeTaz

Yes indeed.... love the song.... I often fancy a fantastic future where confusion, fear, ignorance and all manner of evil are things of the past. ..( which human being doesn't).... Just imagine a song that would be so intensily agreeable to all hearts..a song that would sweetly relate our all ...past collective human experience..a high mass...as you call it..? Leonard Cohen prompts my imagination to that scenario.

my god, who is that man playing the flamenco guitar....amazing.....

[suzek55]

@crackfarm76 That is Javier Mas who is part of Leonards current band. The man is pure genius. I could listen to him all day. I can't wait for Lissadell House next weekend......it will be fantastic

[crackfarm76]

@suzek55 ahh, thanks for that....enjoy the show....i saw leonard cohen and company last year in los angeles...best show of my life...javier mas is pure music.

[abib2054]

@crackfarm76

It's not flamenco guitar, it is bandurria, laud, archilaud, flamenco guitar is as big as the one you know. These are arabic mediterranean, grec, spanish instruments, very popular in our music, towns and tradicional songs. Flamenco guitar is Paco de Lucía (search for him). The performer is Javier Mas (spanish musician too).

[crackfarm76]

@abib2054 ahh, thanks for that distinction, i appreciate it!

[MBailote]

@abib2054 That's a Portuguese 12 string Fado guitar.

[writerman242]

@MBailote @pyhrgas thank you! I was wondering what it was. My partner will be interested thanks. we saw him do it a cuplle of years ago and it's just as good as this video but better

[atejonaaa]

@MBailote What the sitting guitarrist -spanish Javier Mas- is playing is a traditional instrument in Spain called Bandurria, not a Portuguese Fado guitar. Crackfarm76 give more information in another comment below.

[katcat67]

I didn't think it possible but Leonard just gets better with age.

[ntayomba]

[dajokg]

The greatest poet of the 20th century.!!!

[ANOUARDO33]

Sublime song ! thankssss !

[fosquet]

I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet

And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?...

Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove

These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood

And there is no man or woman who can't be touched

But you who come between them will be judged

And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?...

[ntayomba]

@fosquet

I love this song. It is not too late for good things to happen.

[fosquet]

And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight

I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right

But whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor

whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more

And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?

Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?

Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe

A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee

She says, "My body is the light, my body is the way"

[ntayomba]

@fosquet Me too i fell the same way

[aclcox]

Man crush!

Love the Leonard.

[hunond]

oh man! masterpiece. totally.

[raymondleeleggs]
