Leonard Cohen "I'm Your Man" (Pics from Dublin June 2008)

Photos taken at the Leonard Cohen Dublin concert Sunday 15th June 2008. I was trying to take good professional photographs with a telephoto lens , but then the security guys were in like a shot to stop me (get it like a shot!). I told them I was a freelance photo person from MTV but they didn't believe me. I do not know why. I then told them that I did a bit on the side for the Cork Examiner. I was told to keep off the Heineken.
They were very good natured and a good time was had by all.
I was sitting in the rain with the camera in one hand, a watered down Heineken in the other and trying to keep the camera dry with a Dunnes stores plastic bag, while focusing the lens on Lenny singing.
While all this was going on, I was singing and reading the lyrics of the songs from the sheets that I had printed from the computer the previous night hidden inside the camera bag. I was trying to look great, like I knew all Leonard's songs by heart (which I do!).
I was like a nervous wreck as the camera was not even mine, it was my son's. (after reading this he said keep off the Heineken).

Anyway, sorry about the bad quality of the photos, please do not be too critical and enjoy. (iGaucho you are a great photographer).
Please keep looking as I am posting some good video soon, which I hope will as good and better as the photos.

I must say that this concert was my Woodstock.

I liked the smaller venue in Toronto, but the views you got on the big screans look really great. Thanks.

Thanks. I took these from way back in the crowd. I have some videos also, but when I upload to youtube the audio is missing. The vids are from a sony cybershot. Can you help? Thanks.

Si quieres un amante Voy a hacer todo lo que me piden que Y si quieres otro tipo de amor Voy a usar una máscara para usted Si desea un socio Toma mi mano O si quieres me parece que en la ira Aquí estoy Soy tu hombre Si quieres un boxeador Voy a subirse al cuadrilátero para usted Y si quieres un doctor Voy a examinar cada pulgada de usted Si desea un conductor Suba en el interior O si quieres llevarme a dar una vuelta Usted sabe que puede Soy tu hombre
