Leonard Cohen performed his first US live show in 15 years at the Beacon Theatre in New York last night (February 19).
The legendary singer-songwriter treated the completely sold-out to a sprawling three hour set that featured an astonishing six encores.
The 74-year-old Canadian joked to the crowd at one point: "It's been a long time since I stood up on this stage in New York City. I was 60 years-old, just a kid with a crazy dream. Since then I've taken a lot of Prozac."
Classic tracks performed included 'So Long, Marianne', 'Bird On A Wire', 'First We Take Manhattan', 'Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye' and, of course, the ubiquitous 'Hallelujah'.
Leonard Cohen performs at the Coachella Festival in California this April.
