Leonard's 2nd rearranged night in London. A slightly shortened 3 hour show, caused by the ticketing chaos, which meant that close on a thousand people had to queue to pick up tickets at the box office.

Ever the gentleman, Lenny apologises for any inconvenience, before embarking on his masterclass in delivery, songwriting and musicianship.

With this release we begin a new master series of recordings of Italian taper Mauro R. and his brother Dario. Mauro has spent the last 35+ years documenting the Italian concert scene, you have probably heard a number of his 1980's recordings and many of you have probably heard of him, but this will mark the first time his recordings have been properly presented from his masters. 

Mauro and I go back to the mid 1980's when we both taped and traded hundreds of shows with each other. In the 1990's as life took over and we both became busier and busier we fell out of touch. Though Mauro has continued to tape he began to physically trade less and less, therefore many of his shows over the last decade or so remain uncirculated and he is not currently a member of dime or any torrent site. Through a mutual collector friend (thank you hubresh) we have re-established contact. It's like we never lost touch and he is very excited to share their work with all of us. 

When I say they document the shows they go to that's an understatement. He and his brother cover both taping and shooting photos. They shot over 700 photos of this particular show. In the future you will find many of their photos included in the torrents as well as used for the covers (as the covers for this show are using their photos). 

We begin our series with a show I don't believe has appeared on dime in any form. Leonard Cohen's only Italian stop on the 2010 leg of his long world tour. 
The 2010 leg of the World Tour was an extension of the 2008-2009 World Tour that would eventually total 246 shows. Florence was an open air event in the beautiful Piazza Santa Croce, taking place after a nine day break. 

Recorded approximately 20 meters from the stage, this is a gorgeous capture with strong vocals and excellent instrument separation and a wide stereo spectrum.

Notes by the taper:
Excellent show with the same, sacral feeling that I've experienced at previous Cohen concerts. I didn't want to invest in a so-called "Golden Circle" ticket (over 1000 NOK, about 170 $), so I was about 50 - 60 metres from the stage. The sound was excellent, although a bit low. This makes recording vulnerable to audience noise, and some of the tracks (especially towards the end of the concert) bear sign of this. I've tried to reduce it in between songs, though. This was done with Cubase SX3, and I also applied some EQ and split the tracks here.

Notes:
Slightly shorter than the other Gent shows because of an imagined thunder storm on its way shortly prior to the show. Good to see the Belgium Met Office is as bad at predicting weather as every other country's. No thunder storm but a late start by 35 minutes. Leonard did his utmost to cram as much in as possible, even claiming that he would play some songs faster, so that in the end we only lost about four songs and 15 minutes approx.

Flaws: 
- "Bird On The Wire" pops @ 7:25-7:27 (problem with recorder or PA?) 
- "Avalanche" (cut @ 1:29 + dropout @ 1:37) 
- "Tennessee Waltz" (abrupt cut @ 0:33) 
- "Joan Of Arc" (dropouts @ 1:39-1:44 + the song ends abruptly)

This is a recording done by The French Gentleman (TFG) to reel tapes. I converted it to 2-channel mono, then broke it up into tracks. There are spot where the broadcasters did edits / you can hear crowd clap levels shift. I put the track breaks in these spots, where they existed. And I brought down the volume during a 3-second buzzing anomaly in the lead in to Chelsea, so it's less irritating. That's all I needed to do - SBE-fixed the files, and you hold in your digital hand the results.
