What an oustanding performance. Leonard Cohen never once compromised. His timing is perfect, his performance oustanding, and professional. I love his sense of humour! The backing musicians were also amazing and genuinely appeared to be enjoying themselves.

What a privilege to be at Vector Arena for Leonard Cohen's concert on Friday night. A musical genius still performing at his peak plus an amazing group of extra talented musicians supporting him. A night to stay in the memory. You had to be there.

I have always loved Leonard Cohen's songs. He is a poet and, even though his music was known as 'Music to slit your wrists by' back in the '70s, it was always great. With the backing musicians and singers he now has the songs are really brilliant. I was annoyed by the review in the Herald which went on about how similar this year's performance was to last year's. I didn't go last time, but really - the guy had to do lots of his standard favourites because genuine fans would be disappointed if he didn't. I heard three songs I'd never heard before. If he came again, I would expect to see some of the same songs again. As for complaining that what they wore was the same - a true fan would not expect any kind of 'costume change' - what nonsense. He's uber cool just the way he is. Best show I've ever been to. Fantastic sound - better than the CDs. Great talent. Would go again tomorrow in a heartbeat. Hope he comes again (and does EXACTLY the same show). Would take whole family next time.

I finally got to see the man who has been on my to-see list for forty years! I loved everything about his concert.
people were still coming into the arena just before Leonard called for a short break. Some people spent the entire time going in and out of the show - rude as!

LOVED every second of it.
Congratulations to Bic Runger, she was a lovely, gentle and thoughtful performer ideally suited to precede L C.
As a performer Leonard is an absolute master craftsman at every level. As a poet, philosopher, songwriter,artist, gentle humorist he is in class all of his own. The songs were mixed with the well known and ones I have not ever heard before, all of which were superb. My only disappointment was that he didn't sing his stunning masterpiece 'Joan of Arc'.

A HUGE congratulations to his SUPERB backing group. They surely must rank rank up there among the finest most inspired and brilliant group of artists in musical history. They have been together for a long time and their synergy is breathtaking.

I was humbled by this man's humility. He was so gracious. Said they would give the audience their all and they certainly did. We got way more than what we paid for. The musicians were amazingly talented and the concert went on and on. I missed the Wellington concert last visit and was gutted and when the chance of a ticket came again this year there was no question about whether to go or not so I took my sister with me and had an awesome time.

Leonard Cohen is the master of Poetic verse as song lyrics. He has a magnetic stage presence that compels you to watch and listen with every fibre of your being. The respect that is held by each member of the band for each other and their art is apparent throughout the performance. In the words of my partner "it was the best concert I have ever been to" - high praise indeed from a man who wasnt sure he wanted to go!!

A superb, generous concert from a once in a lifetime artist. Leonard doesn't inhabit a genre as he is a unique genius of our generation. His poetry, lyrics, charisma, presence and humility were unforgettable as were his backing band. Angels of music. A concert with musical and spiritual integrity in an age going gaga with cheap celebrities and gimmicks.

This man is incredible. His rapport with the audience in tangible. He is humble and makes his audience feel that they are doing him a favour by attending. His musicality is faultless and he's backed by true professionals. We were spellbound throughout the entire concert and left uplifted. Thank you Leonard Cohen. It was a privilege to hear you perform live!
