Leonard Cohen in Toronto - Anthem

Leonard Cohen sings "Anthem" during his amazing performance in Toronto on June 7, 2008. The picture jumps around a bit, since I was using strong zoom, and also trying to cover the light from the camera with my other hand, so as not to disturb my neighbours.

I was there last night and I think I saw you taping this! Thanks for bending the rules. It's great to have a souvenir of a truly amazing evening.

:) You're welcome, and thanks! I'm generally not the rule-bending type, but to me this concert was truly a dream come true. And I wanted so badly to bring back at least some of it, as a souvenir and also some proof that I didn't actually dream this up. :) I hated to disturb my neighbours with that light from the display, so I did my best to cover it. That's why the video is so unsteady. :)

My favorite song... it moves me each time I hear it. It resumes a lot of things in my life. So I will keep to ring the bells... that's how the light gets in. Thank you Lenny!

Thanks so much for the moment in time, which was a GREAT moment. I was there in the background screeming and applauding, gazing through my binoculars. I LOVE Lennie a 1000 kisses deep and wide. Monique

HAHAHA, the guy he said was unemployed, oh my gosh it was so funny, he killed it on the sax many times that night and played several instruments throughout the night.

I had read the review of Friday's show before I went on Saturday and had tears in my eyes just reading the review!!

The reason I'm pretty sure it was you was because Isaw that you were trying to cover the light -- a good compromise between posterity and decorum! I've been sending some of these to a few friends who were really sorry not to be at the concert.
