Leonard Cohen's 2009 tour has been praised by fans & critics for the warm and inviting atmosphere that the legendary artist creates at each venue:
"Cohen's signature voice that is the ultimate draw in this sort of live setting...it caressed the theater into rapt silence, the violet vibe more reminiscent of a church service than a pop performance."
-Detroit Free Press, May 10, 2009
"...The 74-year-old Canadian song-poet put on a magnificent three-hour show... filled with prayer-like intensity and easygoing grace, not to mention sartorial splendor, meticulous musicianship, and as perfectly crisp a sound mix as I can ever recall hearing at a rock show."
-Philadelphia Inquirer, May 14, 2009
"Cohen was a humble, generous host whose bass voice glowed with golden tones when he dropped into his bottom register, whose best songs were as good as songs get, whose wit was exceeded only by his grace and dignity. Cohen sang quietly, gently, deeply, and he made every word count." -San Francisco Chronicle, April 15, 2009
