Leonard Cohen: Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado

Steven R Rosen, Denver Post, 4 June 2009

IF LEONARD COHEN, now 74, intends to retire from performing after his current tour, he couldn't have picked a better venue for his final North American show.

(The reunited Pistols played there a decade or so ago.)
