I was fortunate enough to see him live quite a few times during his touring between 2008 and 2012, and I have never seen better live music in my life. In his late 70s he would give a 3+ hour performance full of energy and enthusiasm, it was truly incredible to see.

I've been to four (Oberhausen, Paris, Rotterdam, Amsterdam) and all evenings were fantastic. Highly doubt if I'll ever see a better show. It helped that the crowds were superb too!

edit: The other artists in the line-up were top-notch. My favorite part of the non-Cohen sung songs was the Webb Sisters with "Coming Back to You": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzX0Nk3sCJE

I saw him once in 2009. Indeed maybe the best show I've ever seen. Part of it was due to the fact that I sort of knew I would never get to see him again, and part of it because it was a truly great performance.
