A huge venue! Full house! All for Leonard Cohen! I went to his tribute concert: tower of song.
I am not even complain about the venue, but the concert was so good that all other negativity did not bother me.
My heart skipped when Sting opened the show. He performed Dance me to the End. He took Cohen's song, and sang so beautifully with his raspy and sexy voice in his own style. I enormously enjoyed, And if I could have dance KD, I would have to Sharon Robinson's rendition to I'm Your Man. Elvis Costello was rocking. KD Lang performed Hallelujah; it was soulful and haunting at the same time. Courtney Love was a surprise; haven't seen her for a while. Still has an awesome voice. Other amazing performances by Leonard's own son Adam Cohen, then Lana Del Ray, Patrick Watson, Ron Sexsmith... and many more.
Justin and Sophie Trudeau gave a touching speech!
Seth Rogen did a little bits of comedy and then he recited a poetry from Leonard's collection. Lovely!
Overall, great show. Thanks Montreal, Bell Center and everyone who put together and brought together all this stars for Leonard Cohen! Bravo!
