a privilege to watch two fantastic musicians
by cordite on 2017-03-09Queen Elizabeth Theatre - VancouverThink of those times when you watch a fabulous concert unfolding on PBS and you see shots of audience members enraptured by the sheer talent they are watching. This was a concert just like that ! Effortless delivery, incredible guitar work and lyrics , these guys are pure music. Even when just one of them was singing and playing you would swear that there were three or four guitarists in on the act, with the rhythms, base lines and melodies that came at you. As for lyrics, well Mr Cohen (rest his soul) gets a run for his money from either of them. You can't teach the sort of stuff they write and some of the lines become an instant part of your own repertoire. They are two old friends, relaxed and confident in what they do , their banter let us into their creative and day-to-day world and I felt that I had been invited to a private concert. Thank you Lyle and John for a performance I will remember as one of the best I have ever seen.
