    The man is a master songwriter and poet.
    We left the theater last night(2/11/10). I had this huge grin and my eyes were teared up...it was so moving..so emotional....we were stunned.

    It is the same concert as last year..same song list...same band..it was named the best world concert of 2009.
    For me this was the best concert Ive seen in 10 years...anyone should go see this concert..if your over 30 or you are a musician.

    The band..were masters of their instruments..musicians musicians. Each note a compliment to the lyrics of Mr.Cohen...sublime..superb. We laughed..we cried.

    THE BAND...
    He uses a custom 5 string bass he designed
