Cohen Live is the best of the lot
Jennifer Warnes accompanies Leonard in this CD and that, plus the harmony and artistry of the musicians is what makes this the best of the best of the best. I've listened to 6 of Leo's CD's. The Live in London CD is lame compared to this magnifcient wonder of musical perfection. This recording will go down as his flagship during the next century of praise. If any music deserves to survive the flood of good music that has been created during the last 100 years, well, I better stop right here and just say "Put this CD in the time vault along with 99 others and let the critics decide 300 years from now".

This guy ranks right beside Bob Dylan and Elton John for contemporary music writers and performers that will survive the ages. Get this CD. . . it's his best! You'll be delighted and I can almost guarantee that you'll play it 20 times and still be engaged when the last song on the CD is finished. .


Cohen live.
Great cd. If there is anything better than a Leonard Cohen song, it's a Leonard Cohen song performed Live by the man himself.


my favorite LC album
Sometimes, I think, the greatest. This album happens to be in the Honorable Mention section of my Deserted Island Music site, where I submit:

"One of the great songwriters. Get COHEN LIVE, where you'll hear a backup band and singers giving the best possible support. Maybe I like this album best because one of the shows (on Austin City Limits) that makes up half the album had held me enthralled from just a small TV screen. Maybe because Cohen no longer sounds like an unwrinkled youth but a wise old man. Go to the original studio recordings of decades ago to catch the lyrics, but to this set of live recordings to catch a chill. "

Cohen has recently started touring again. The San Antonio Express-News has a good review of his Austin concert in early April 2009. Thankfully, the magic's still there.


Cohen Live CD
It captures the emotion that only comes through in a live performance. Cohen Live is in my opinion Leaonard Cohen's best. I wish I had the $$$$ to go hear him in person this fall in London or Paris and hope he performs a little closer to home next year.


This is a classic
If you don't know the artist, this is a good introduction. This is a wonderful Leonard Cohen CD. If you are familiar with Leonard Cohen, then this is a must-have for your collection. Well done and classic.
