Photos Leonard Cohen brought 'Old Ideas' to Madison Square Garden on Tues., Dec. 18

Perry Julien
"Hallelujah" - Leonard Cohen

Ace photographer Perry Julien was in New York City last week and managed to make his way into Leonard Cohen's performance at Madison Square Garden on December 18. They're too good not to share here. It was a show that Julien describes as being in his top 10 music photography experiences ever, and amid a career spanning 35 years, that's saying something.

Perry Julien:

When Leonard Cohen's 2009 tour brought him to The Fox Theatre, much of the crowd assumed this would be the last tour for the 75 year old poet and songwriter. But a new album, Old Ideas, inspired him to go back on the road with his band including his long time collaborator Sharon Robinson, the Webb Sisters and guitarist Javier Mas. Despite his 78 years Cohen played over 3 hours, covering 29 songs - hits including "Hallelujah" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" to tracks from his latest album.
