While all the photos of the July 6, 2009 Leonard Cohen Nantes Concert taken by Hyacinthe Raimbault are of solid quality, I'm especially taken with the shots of Leonard Cohen in dance mode (above) and Roscoe Beck, accoutred in a venue-congruous beret, playing standup bass (below).

On the 10th day of Christmas, Leonard Cohen gave to me

The Ten New Songs album
A lobby with nine hundred windows 
An end to 8 years awaiting
Seven lovers listed
Six live albums - and six books
Five gold awards
Four new live songs
Three years of touring
Two sisters singing 
And a bird on a wire, not in a tree

Ten New Songs (2001)
Written and composed by Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson 

1. In My Secret Life
2. A Thousand Kisses Deep
3. That Don’t Make It Junk
4. Here It Is
5. Love Itself

7. Alexandra Leaving

Its reposting results from DrHGuy's inability to shake the notion that Mr Cohen is instructing Ms Robinson, a former Las Vegas hoofer, in the nuances of performing the dance steps to the Bangles' 1986  hit, "Walk Like An Egyptian."

I am taken with this photo of Sharon Robinson, with a huge smile emblazoned on her face, and Leonard Cohen, respectfully somber, bowing to each other after Cohen's introduction of "My collaborator, the incomparable Sharon Robinson."

Sharon Robinson, singer-songwriter and backup singer for and collaborator with Leonard Cohen, spoke with her interviewers about her career, the strategies of songwriting, working with Leonard Cohen, and more. The full interview can be heard at Sharon Robinson on worldstreams.
