Spectacular Live Shot of Waldbuhne by Hans Kloss-Cohenites Arrive From Meet-up for Leonard Cohen Berlin Concert + Backstage Night View by Joey Carenza
September 5, 2012
Oh, those 100 steep stone treacherous stairs - I remember them well, but not fondly. At least for this Leonard Cohen concert, the seats are reserved.
My 2010 Berlin Waldbuhne saga is here
Thanks for the spectacular photo, Hans.
UPDATE
Joey Carenza, Notes from the Road posted this night photo from backstage.
His caption is very moving and I left a comment on Facebook.
"with nightfall, the stage lights come on, and chase away the ghosts of empires past…"
--------------------------Beautiful caption! When I sat there in Hitler's personal structure two years ago, I felt very conflicted. My only comfort was we beat the bastard. So, I thoroughly enjoyed that Leonard Cohen concert with my many Cohenite FRIENDS.

In Berlin, we are lucky to have Cohenites with high end cell phones sending live photos for us all to enjoy, in particular - Hans Kloss, Caren Gutschmidt and Sharon Erde.
The photo on top was emailed by Sharon Erde.
Caren and Hans posted the meet-up info on Facebook where the Cohenites are gathering.
And here is a photo by Hans Kloss. I think I reognize some later arriving Cohenites on the right.
Thank you to Sharon, Caren and Hans for your photos from Berlin.
Berlin Waldbuhne Concert, Leonard Cohen-August 18, 2010
From Sept 16, 2010 leonardcohenforum
We had fun waiting for the concert to start-many of us was there very early because of the general seating. A bit of a reunion from Krakow, Gothenburg and one from San Jose. No names for now. Well, maybe one name...Kadir (Beautiful Loser), the sweetest man and the life of the Waldbuhne party...everybody knows him.
The Berlin concert was my first outdoor Leonard Cohen concert. At first it felt eerie. I could not figure out why until two weeks later when I read a comment on Joey Carenza's tumblr blog about Florence. He commented that Ryan Patrick Murphy (Lighting Director) could take off the first half because of the blazing sun. Well, we didn't have blazing sun, but the first half of the concert was in full daylight. And there was no "mood" lighting that I was used to seeing, lighting so skillfully designed to change and shift with every song, phrase, and solo. I wonder if this is one of the reasons, some Forum posters comment that a concert is slow going in the first half and picks up in the second half? I now know from personal experience that there is quite a different feel when the concert is in daylight and in "the dark". The concert was wonderful and I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the Lover Lover.... I had never heard it live before. And Albert Noonan's video captured it superbly.
