A Thousand Kisses Deep

[camrogers]

I was wondering if I could write a review about seeing Leonard Cohen and a band comprised of both masters and people he's been working with for decades, and do it in such a way that it conveys not so much a setlist-driven breakdown but the feeling of being there for it.

Suffice it to say that watching good things happen to good people is good for the soul, and watching a man of Cohen's vintage sell out an arena in order to deliver poetry to music - and get four standing ovations - was pretty special. If there's something you'd have loved to hear him perform, odds are high he delivered it last night. He had me at 'Everybody Knows', but 'A Thousand Kisses Deep' (the only spoken word piece he did all night) was a kick inside the heart.

For some reason I suddenly imagined him covering Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer' there.
