It came on at 9:30, after I took my pills and was nodding off, so I only caught the first few songs through my medicated haze. That said, it looked to be a pretty great show.

Cohen looked like a lecherous old man, decked out in a fedora and copious wrinkles, but it suited him well, of course.
The band sounded great and, I could swear that He had Carlos Santana with him on the first song -- "Dance Me to the End Of Love". But I could be mistaken. (I probably am.

Before I nodded off, he also played "Bird on a Wire", and in the preview, they showed a clip of "Hallelujah", which I'm sure came toward the end.

Anyone catch the whole thing?
I wanna.

Actually, I think that THIS is the show.

If it is... DAMN, I just missed "Everybody Knows"!

yeah, this was also on tuesday night. (they're in a pledge drive, so they're showing a lot of concert movies lately. i dvr'd the clash one from a couple years ago the same night.)

this is essentially a stripped-down and early version of the same tour that he's been trotting around all year. when i saw him in may, i thought the musicianship was a bit tighter but that sax dude was way cheesier.

Great song...and what kind of massive pills are you on that you take them and just nod off?

Trileptal.
I take a smaller dose in the am and then a larger one at night. Depending upon the day, it may or may not knock me on my ass. On that night, it did. Some days, even the smaller am doses do, too.
And, it's kept my seizures in-check. So, no real complaints.
