More than two weeks after I went to Leonard Cohen's first U.S. show I'm STILL in awe. It was literally the best I've ever seen, and the sound in the newly-renovated Beacon Theatre was amazing. It was ridiculous -- Cohen was enchanting and his backing band were total virtuosos. And everyone knew it; the ticket was the hardest to get in town. I was offered $750 a piece for my pair of tickets at the door by rich Upper East Side types.
Read my full review at SPIN.com. Also, NPR is now broadcasting much of the performance. Listen here.
Here's a clip from the show I found on YouTube. The quality sucks, but hey, I was there...
