When he took the stage at the O2 Arena, in
London, England, Leonard Cohen was a 73 old man forced to come out of
retirement and go back on tour after being robbed of his savings by his former
manager. In those circumstances, you would think the show would come off like a
chore. Fortunately it does not.
One of the greatest poets of all-time, Cohen
took the stage assisted by a tight band of talented musicians and three amazing
backup singers. He gave the British crowd over 2.5 hours of beautiful and deep
music, and, by the end of it, this 73 year old still had some spring in his
steps. It is sad to think that he would get sick and pass away not that long
after.
Cohen’s music, though beautiful, has often
been considered dark and a bit depressing. The nice thing is that the Montreal
native managed to incorporate some humor in between the songs, giving the
viewers a nice mixture of emotions.
Overall, this is an awesome concert filled
with poetry and beautiful musicality.
