Any ideas?[/quote]

It's the Roscoe Beck signature Fender, appropriate being as he's Roscoe Beck I guess...!

I was at that gig, Cohen was god-like.

Doh!, another face put to a name there then for me.....


I am certainly enjoying it now. Chilling in the calm before the next new-baby-feed/nappy storm...

As I'm typing this, Hallelujah has just come on.

Hallelujah!

[quote name='foal30' post='519100' date='Jun 20 2009, 09:40 AM']my old man has been to literally thousands of gigs

and he says this Leonard Cohen stuff was at the top of the pile. A+ stuff.
a spiritual experience by all accounts.[/quote]

One of the best gigs I have ever seen, and I've seen a few biggies in my time.

It wasn't a one-off either, I took the in-laws to one of the repeat performances later that year, and it was another absolute cracker.

Never seen one man hold a 20,000+ seat stadium in complete silence while he recites a poem...

There were people crying in the aisles.

As I said, god-like.

Bit of a fan when the mood takes me.[/quote]

All the hairs on my neck keep standing up. If it's like that just watching the tv I've really got to make more of an effort to see him live...
