Why are you referencing a Leonard Cohen tour like he is some kind of undesirable? Have you actually listened to Leonard Cohen, or did you just read in Vice Magazine that he is a passe Jew singer or something?
For those of you on this site with an appreciation for music that transcends the three chords of the Sex Pistols which apparently is the end all and be all of music for this writer, I would like to recommend you the remake of Cohen’s “Dance me to the end of love” by Madeline Peyroux. Yes, it is good. You are welcome.

If you’re a fan of Cohen’s wouldn’t it make more sense to refer us to one of his songs, rather than a cover? ;) But yes, it is good…thanks. Who’s Leonard Cohen?

Puck, I guess so, but truth is, his greatness may be more as a song writer and poet than as a musician.
Just look at this line from that song,
“Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone”
I think this is a reference to the yichud room, the place in traditional Judaism where a newly married husband and wife were publicly alone for the first time immediately following the ceremony.
