Leonard Cohen, Save the Last Dance for me , Dublin 12-09-2013

[@barrycowan3540]

There's just no one like Leonard Cohen.

[@09Independent09]

Doc Pomus, a childhood polio victim confined to a wheelchair, wrote this song, "Save the Last Dance For Me" for his bride as she danced with other men at their wedding. Doc would have been so moved by this joyous performance and Cohen's love for the audience and the music.

[@Norcam47]

Watching the smile on his face fills up my heart with happiness. I could watch this video every day of my life. Thank you Mr. Cohen for sharing your talent with the world. We miss you!. ♥️🇨🇦

[@allene211]

When I saw this for the first time, I was laughing and crying. His reaction to the audience is so touching and it was making him so happy. I think it was just great that they were singing back to him. I love the Irish.

[@sunlion9676]

I have the same reaction- when the audience first sing along in the chorus- and the smile on Leonard’s face! I love it. And when he finally bows, hand on heart- true gratitude from the poet songster to his fans. 💝

[@halnauman7871]

The entire gig, the song, his posture, the audience, the hat, the suit, is beyond cool.

[@ilonazdeb4818]

ONE OF THE BEST ARTIST OF THE WORLD.. simply i love you MASTER LEONARD COHEN

[@MrLuciano54]

Two of my favorit things..Leonard Cohen and an Irish crowd..makes me cry this.

[@zsrbova]

It was an honor to live in the same time period with you, Mr. Cohen. Thank you - no more one can say. You and your music is not dead. You were and will always remain a genius. We love you without end ...

[@philipbutterworth4164]

Hard to believe his like will ever be seen again, well done Leonard and Dublin

[@niesluchowska]

I just can't watch this enough...

[@patsymccoy2259]

Yes this appears to be one of the greatest concerts ever though l think Lissadell tops it. What a priviledge to have experienced Sligo and to have lived in your time. The light of heaven to you Leonard.

[@luthientinuviel2823]

The pure joy and pride on his face when the audience start singing is priceless ❤️

[@Evenstar100]

Just watched this again and I was right back there in Dublin! What an amazing evening it was!

[@johndown99]

Beautiful song by a much loved singer. RIP Leonard Cohen.

[@cometiv]

R.I.P Leonard and Marianne Hope both of you are dancing together again XXX........Wow, that Dublin audience is amazing !!

[@allene211]

I still get chills when I listen to this song. The audience's response is so energetic and loving and his reaction is so endearing, that I am smiling and crying at the same time. Bless you, Mr. Cohen, for touching the hearts of so many people. Thank you for posting., albertnoonan .

Leonard Cohen is a comet we've been blessed to witness. May his bright light linger long on the horizon.

I've watched this more than a few times, and it just gets better and better. Such a generosity of spirit from the audience... yeah sorely missed

Part of the joy of watching this video was seeing Leonard's happiness at the enthusiasm and pleasure of the audience.

[@heatherkelly2580]

Leonard Cohen sings the Drifters "Save the last dance for me" ( Dublin 2013)

[@heatherkelly2580]

I was lucky to be in the audience when Leonard performed all his songs for us. We never expected him to sing a song like "Save the last dance for me". A bit outside his usual numbers but we all loved it. Just listen to how the audience (I can't see myself, but I was there in the second row) responds to him. It really broke my heart to hear that he had died.

[@heatherkelly2580]

BY US I MEAN ME

[@Imayorkiemom]

Love this man and the audience I give a standing ovation to!!!!!!!!

[@17pollexfen]

He loved playing Dublin, and it shows! Thanks Leonard.

[@robertmcintyre4653]

LEONARD MAKES EVERYONE AT HIS CONCERTS FEEL HE'S SINGING TO THEM ONLY, SUCH A SPECIAL MAN WITH A GREAT PERSONALITY, I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE SEEN LEONARD IN CONCERT WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE IT WAS FOR ME, RIP DEAR LEONARD THANKS FOR LEAVING YOUR GOLDEN VOICE, YOU WERE A ONE OFF THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE YOU EVER AGAIN SO THANKFULL TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN YOUR LIFETIME, IN MY HEART FOREVER LEONARD COHEN 21/9/1934_7/11/2016, LOVE JACQUI XXXXX

But don't forget who's taking you homeAnd in whose arms you're gonna be So darlin' Save the last dance for me.

[@pauljohnston6790]

What a pleasure it was to listen to the master, & especially to enjoy that last song, you saved the last dance for the perfect time & place, what a night, totally enjoyed every moment.

[@cupcake168]

Happy you! Wish I could ever have been part of a concert of LC.

[@reepacheirpfirewalker8629]

Your home in Dublin Leonard these are your fans, the blood of your heart.

[@sallyschur8017]

Great video, Albert, and a spot-on description. As it turned out, Dublin's farewe-thee-well to Leonard.Thank you!

[@dermotdolan2025]

An absolute gem, priceless and what a fitting tribute "Save the last dance for Him". Joyous and full of humour, just look at his facial expressions and that of the musicians. You have captured something very special here and a great fun filled Irish audience. Well done Albert.

[@michaelflanagan6488]

He has indeed

[@deliapegg7239]

I love this man - and grieve that he doesn't appear to want to tour anymore. Love the look on his face when he realises that he has a very big and enthusiastic chorus from the wonderful Dublin audience.

[@Trealawking]

I think is was a case of not being able to tour, rather than not wanting to.

[@deliapegg7239]

You are quite right of course Lee. Just a case of a sad old fan wanting him to go on forever. Its hard to remember the old saying that you should not grieve for what you have lost but be thankful for what you had and I am so glad I got to see him live at all when many people were not so lucky.

[@Trealawking]

Yeh, nothing sad about it. I saw him 7 times. We are lucky his manager stole his money or I don't think he would ever have toured again

[@mikec9823]

What a nice scene! We have to respect people of all ages...This fellow has a good voice,too! Love it!

[@22Jeanie]

This beautiful person will always be with us through his music - Leonard Cohen, please save the last dance for me!

[@oceallaigh3980]

what a man and what a night that was in dublin

[@mariontl6764]

Love this song, and LeonardCohen. What a beautiful man, who will be missed greatly. I love the rapport with the audience, and how they sang along with him, especially when they sang "Leonard, save the last dance for me. " You can see how much he loved it. Saw him in concert in Vancouver in 2009 and his deep appreciation for his band and his fans shone through. What a special night it was ! Thank you for the music Leonard.

[@a.omoose8946]

Thank you Leonard Cohen, may you rest in peace.

[@johnosullivan3131]

This was the very last song I saw him perform live...this exact song..this exact concert. Thanks so much for posting this. Was lucky enough to see him a few times. He leaves such a hole with his death, but due to the wonders of modern technology I can relive this again.

[@xuxa36]

It dont get any better than this and the smile and satisfaction it gave to Leonard is unforgettable.

[@mikec9823]

The way it should be, music and appreciation of life!

[@olivierdefeydeau167]

Ce concert magique fut donné à nouveau à Bercy pendant trois heures. Il ne voulait pas finir, Leonard était heureux, le public transporté. Rarement un concert m'a autant ému. J'ai entendu bien souvent Leonard en live, et la première fois en 1969 paix en P. Mais celui-ci fut le plus grand. Merci de nous en restituer une partie.

[@Mr13216332]

fantastic, great interpretation, nice song, thanks

[@Mr13216332]

VERY GOOD

[@athenspirates]

One of a Kind . . .deserving of a Nobel Prize for Lit. .

[@commonwombat9171]

These are the moments that ANY musician craves to experience and will treasure ... and some never truly do. Certainly a judicious choice of song; indeed one that many would not readily associate with Cohen but an evergreen that is known the world over but add that to an audience he already "has in the palm of his hand" and you get moments like this.

[@angelspeaceandhealth]

Always a joy to listen to. What an awesome personality. What a guy.April collins, montrea

[@kerryg100]

He was among friends and he knew it having the craic in Ireland gone but not forgotten. ...ha...

[@sunlion9676]

Thank you Albert for taking this recording! I have to come back to your videos- something just listening to him isn’t enough, Leonard’s smile lights up that stage. He smiles- I smile- my heart is joyful. 💝

[@tomoleary7593]

Thanks Albert; brings back great memories of September. I was lucky enough to have been in O2 Dublin that night. :)

Leonard does full justice to a classic standard. The Irish loved his music.

Thank you for uploding this for all of us to enjoy. I love the music of Leonard Cohen. I love this song. Thank you.

[@vballf]

Certainly not the best I've heard from Cohen, but an amazing audience, and the look on Cohen's face make this worth watching more than listening to.

What a hoot! A delightful one -- oh I love Leonard Cohen! The best of the best. My favourite time seeing him was in Vancouver several years ago at the Orpheum Theatre. His encore lasted an hour. Love affair? Yes, indeed! He was loving his audience as much as we were totally loving him. Thank you for posting this, 14,003 backup singers included! :-)

[@cindyjones8232]

He is the best a wild tone in voice so cool my kind of music RIP Amen

R.I.P. master, it was great to have known you.

[@Ivanatis]

breathtakingly beautiful

[@jackignatius]

The Irish are not afraid to upstage the star, And they know the words. Bravo!

[@lizkelly9339]

It was never about upstaging... this was our love song and thanks for a lifetime of poetry and music to Leonard Cohen and hopefully he understood, I think he did. It also turned out to be Dublin and Ireland's farewell...

[@jackignatius]

I am sure he understood. The collaboration did him proud. Sorry for term 'upstage'. @@lizkelly9339

[@ANonymous-vu5zn]

He didn’t sing for the audience He sang with the audience Maybe that’s why this performance is really incredible
