Leonard Cohen performed in Göteborg yesterday and played to a packed stadium. The man is amazing so understated and humble, so moving. Most of my music discussions have been way to focused in the mud of the “original – copy” or “illegal download” discussions. What a waste… Listening to Cohen live was an effective reminder that music is done best live.

The man is brilliant at 73 with no special effects he spellbinds the audience with his repertoire and his sense of humor and ability to make a personal contact. The last time he was in Göteborg he “was a mere boy of 60” despite the time that has passed he still managed to wow 6700 fans for 3,5 hours and all I can say is that I hope that I will see him again soon.
