This really is an astounding version. He's recreated his own songs again and again throughout his long career, and here he is, at -- what? 75. With a song he wrote over 24 years ago. And it's he makes it as fresh and as moving as when he recorded the first version.
Fantastic! 24 years after the first recording of this iconic song, and very mixed cover versions, there will be 2 versions vying for No. 1 slot in the UK Xmas charts! Also Leonards original will be up there too! Not really sure how i feel about that tho! Maybe i feel too precious about sharing it with x factor fans who may only like the melody. That said, it will boost Leonards pension so much, and i am happy about that!
This is one of the best Hallelujas Leonard has done. I was at this concert and it has to be one of the most passionate evenings possible.Leonard can still express himself through his music in a way few can.
The camera was pointed at the big screen right in front of me but I was watching the man himself on stage and my attention kept slipping away from the accuracy of my camerawork!
Sorry, but I think the quality of th sound justifies a posting. Let me know if you disagree!
A really great version... I was there too -fantastic concert ...thanks for posting. Hope they have this version on the forthcoming DVD of the tour.

A never to be forgotten experience.
A great video from an awkward spot.
The only one I have seen.
