May 12, 2009 – Philadelphia
I consider myself lucky to have seen Leonard Cohen perform twice in my life, albeit on the same tour. Although the novelty of seeing Leonard Cohen was greater in Toronto (2008) – this show (better seats) surprised me with how well he is holding up over a long year (plus) on the road. Jumping a bit, a definite spring in his step. Not bad for a 74 year old. Van Morrison at 61 (2007) couldn’t even come close.
