The above photo of Leonard Cohen holding his hat and flowers was taken at the July 1, 2008 Bislet Stadium, Oslo concert. (The string of beads threaded around two fingers of his right hand is likely his komboloi, although it appears different from those Leonard typically carries.) The shot below shows Leonard Cohen leading his musicians in the closing chorus at the same show.
