On Tour with Leonard Cohen
On Tour with Leonard Cohen | Sharon Robinson
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
"On Tour with Leonard Cohen" documents the wildly successful Leonard Cohen World Tour through the eyes of his friend and longtime collaborator, Sharon Robinson. In 2004 Cohen's manager stole his life savings, forcing him out of planned retirement into what has now become a legendary six-year sojourn. Sharon Robinson has been associated with Cohen since the Field Commander Cohen tour of 1979-80, first as a singer and subsequently as his co-writer and producer. She was drafted into the current iteration of Cohen's band, The Unified Heart Touring Company, from the onset, and has literally been at his side for over 400 shows. Robinson has captured her experience behind the scenes with the complete freedom afforded her by her unique position."On Tour with Leonard Cohen" is an impressionistic view of what it was like to be on tour with the legendary singer-songwriter poet. Robinson reveals the nitty-gritty of day-to-day life of the road, onstage and behind the scenes, and the chemistry of Cohen and his supporting artists, together on an incredible journey across the globe, their hearts and minds focused on the next show.

Day 24 - #WaitingForTheMiracle #LeonardCohen #MayMovieMagic

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
And I know it must have hurt you,
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window

Cinfhen What a gem 5y

If you're a huge LC fan, you'll dig this book, which is essentially a scrapbook of iphone photos Sharon Robinson took while on tour. If you're a more casual fan, I'd recommend paging through it at the library.
