review:
Then there was the concert at York University a couple of years ago, just before his first record came out. "What he did, he mesmerized the five hundred people in the hall," Alice says. "He walked on to the stage and lit some incense and looked out in the audience and said very quietly, 'The person here in the most pain is me.' Then he went into a soft chant and got everybody in a nice trance. After that, he talked and read and sang for three hours and every single person worshipped him. It turned into a Leonard Cohen love-in night." [Jack Batten, 1969].
