Johnson is just silly. His suggestions would put thousands of people out of work. This isn't a right/wrong issue, it's a job security issue. I agree with silly Johnson, and would even vote for him, but good luck beating the law enforcement cartel.
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon Show me slowly what I only know the limits of Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love
I wish you would have come to Indianapolis on your 2008 (or future) - i would have been Vip/front row for you ....and I rarely go to any concerts or shows, except for pixies. Hey come to Voque broadripple. Promo how you did the song(s) on natural born killers... they'll get it
If anyone gets the chance check out this guy that didnt even make it to the Judges stage of BGT, search - Britains got talent reject dave lennard - It just goes to show you can be good and still not make it
I'm only sorry that I just now discovered this EXTREMELY talented man. I heard snippets of this song on a TV show and it was so haunting and beautiful that I just had to search until I found it. I had no idea what a legend he was. Beautiful lyrics to go with that haunting melody! At his age, I doubt I will ever be able to see him in live concert and that's a real shame. It's obvious from the comments left here that he's been a world class singer for many, many years - with good reason!
Such beautiful lyrics sung by a man who will live eternally in our hearts. Leonard, you will always be young and you will always inspire us with the songs and poetry you blessed us with....
It is always our Léonard - an extraordinary voice, an enormous charisma, the years does not have an influence on him! I have not been born to see his beginnings, but what I like him, my God! live the artists who continue to touch us beyond an age limit imposed by the collective unconscious ! continue, Léonard, continue!!!
This is the video I viewed on a recent PBS Special. Yes, he is older. But his interactions with the band aand the singers is still beautiful to view and hear.
It was part of a membership drive for the local PBS Channel, CH2 Boston. I did order the DVD. I was really taken with Cohen. Since then I have viewed some of his early work on You Tube. trikeman2k
I can't wait to see him Nov. 7th in St. Louis!!! I never thought I'd get the chance to! I'm so pumped and exciting and this video is intensifying my anticipation!
I broke down today and bought the recording of his recent concert in London. This is his opening song on that video. What I love best is him running onto stage. The smile on his face looks like a kid on Christmas morning...such absolute joy! He jumps and dances around on stage like a kid, not like a 75 yr old man. Ya gotta love this man!!!!
I saw him last month and it was just fantastic. Thank you for posting this, it's almost like I'm reliving the opening to that fantastic concert over and over again.
Does it get any better? Leonard is a musical and poetic genius. His craft makes us come up in goose bumps and cry. I saw him in concert this past weekend, in Edmonton, CANADA, with Sharon Robinson, the Webb Sisters and his wonderful accompanying musicians. It was pure magic. It was the best concert my husband and I have ever been to in all of our combined nearly 120 years and we have been to many. It left us aching for more.
wonderful comment im a brit but havnt been able to get a ticket here, I have to see him some day and just fall into his lyical and musical spell as you 2 did. peace and happiness to ya
You are right, it couldn't possibly get any better. Leonard is a master of music and the written word, and his voice has only improved with age-he reaches inside me and digs deep- all the way to my toes. And that band! Those string instruments are unique and absolutely soul-stirring! My one wish, if I were to be leaving this earth, would be to attend one of his concerts.
My favourite singer and philosopher. I collected all his albums in the 70's when I was a raw university student. Now I have all his work and he speaks still to my heart, my brain and soul
Really fantastic vid, shame it cuts off before the end. Great quality, wish there was more of this and less mobile phone stuff up here. I'll be watching this again! Thanks!
Thanks, as I said before a guard interrupted me filming. I was filming with my digital camera Sony DSH-7, from the second raw. Hope you enjoy it anyway.
Fantastic!...I went to Lisbon and missed this first song..my favourite!..as we were late and running in as it was starting....This is great in the light though...shame the guard stopped you, but what you got is just very good quality for in the crowd...thanks!..he looks so happy doesnt he..
I was there Yesterday, on Sofiero in Sweden. I totally loved the concert! Someone told me that he's tired nowadays, but I don't agree! This was definately one of the best concerts I've been to! Leonard is a sweet and lovable old man with a remarkable voice! I feel very lucky that I was able to visit this concert!
It was probably the best concert I will ever have seen. I must admit that I felt like shooting somebody that this clip was incomplete, but many thanks anyway.
I was there yesterday. One of the most enjoyable concerts I have ever been to. Wonderful music, fantastic weather and beautiful surroundings..what more can one ask for?
noone can do it like the way he does it ... love him ...much love ann

Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
