sorry about the camera work, I had to be careful because of the ushers kept coming over to stop people from filming, plus my camera isnt good at video indoors.

I was there on this wonderful night, a bit to the right of your position. Leonard's first night in the UK, the emotion was incredibly thick. The most amazin concert I've ever seen or likely to ever see.

I saw him 4 more times on the tour and although all were wonderful experiences, nothing can compare to this night when a part of the excitment was the apprehension of whether he still had it. At 74 he had it all in spades - but will he ever be back ?
