Are you guys ready?
Everybody ready?
Next artist is a novelist, poet, an author and an album recorder, he's been trying to get here since 10: 30 yesterday morning...
Would you welcome Leonard Cohen ...
Greetings, greetings!
When I was seven years old my father used to take me to the circus.
He had a black mustache and a great vast and pansy in his lapel.
He liked the circus better than I did.
But there was one thing, it happened I always used to wait for.
I don't wanna impose on you, this is not sing along with mitch.
But there was one moment, a man would stand up and say would everybody light a match, so he can locate one and other.
Could I ask you each person to light a match, so I can see where you all are?
Could each of you light a match, so you sparkle like fireflies each at different heights, I would love to see those matches flare.
Oh yea...
Now, I know, I know that you know why you lighting them.
Yea...
Thank you.
A lot of people without matches.
Oh it's good to be here alone in six hundred tousand people.
It is a large nation but it is still weak.
Still very weak.
Needs to be a lot stronger before I claim a right to land.
Everybody ready?
