 Notes & Reviews
 
 
If you want to intro someone to Leonard Cohen, I'd recommend this album. We saw him on his first American date of this same tour (same band, playlist, etcetera) and he was dynamite! He's 74, and could show artists half his age and younger a thing or tw o about how to rock all night! Only disappointment with this album is it didn't include the stunning remake of 'The Partisan' he performed at the show we attended. Otherwise, ACES!

Full title is: Live in London


2009 two CD set from the acclaimed singer/songwriter, recorded during his 2008 world tour. For over four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on. His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Cohen remains one of the most compelling and enigmatic musical figures of his era, and one of the very few of that era who commands as much respect and attention The set was taken from his July 17, 2008 performance at London's O2 Arena during his world tour last year. The Live in London release fully captures and recreates the extraordinary show from that tour that earned Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews for his performances. Features 25 tracks including Cohen classics such as 'If It be Your Will,' 'I'm Your Man' and 'Hallelujah.'
