    Album Description
    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. Sex, spirituality, religion, power - he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises. But those questions, and the journey he has traveled in seeking to address them, are the ever-shifting substance of his work, as well as the reasons why his songs never lose their overwhelming emotional force. Documentaries, awards, tribute albums and the ongoing march of artists eager to record his songs all acknowledge the peerless contribution Cohen has made to what one of his titles aptly calls "The Tower of Song."

    In 2008 Leonard Cohen embarked on his first tour in 15 years. Quickly recognized as musical folklore in the making, 29 of the original dates sold out almost immediately, leaving fans and critics alike hailing the show as a once in a lifetime experience. By popular demand, the Canadian/UK tour was extended and by the end of that year it had reached 84 markets worldwide, selling more than 700,000 tickets. 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.

    I enjoy the CD and listen to it almost daily. I did not have any questions before I purchased the CD since I saw Leonard on a morning television show. He performed several selections from the CD and gave a synopis of its contents etc. Then and there I decided to order the CD album.

    As long as Leonard is the lead.

    One of the best life shows ever, great team and great orchestration.

    Have the DVD as well, use this on my CD player.

    Sound recording/mixing is OK, hope they will bring a HD Audio version.



    5 out of 5 stars A true masterpiece   January 22, 2010
    cindy l (marlboro, ny United States)
    I bought this CD for myself but I have not been able to get it away from my husband. When we listen to it together, we enjoy it like a piece of art, savior like a fine wine. The lyrics are poetry and the musicianship is extrodinary. Leonard Cohen's humility makes the live performance a charmer. I do believe, the longer you've lived life, the more appreciation you'll have for this music.


    5 out of 5 stars Masterpiece   January 19, 2010
    Quinn Adams (Pacific Northwest USA)
    There is no one else in the universe like Leonard Cohen and no CD of his comes so much from the soul as this one. My husband and I, sipping tequila in hand, listened not once but twice as winter settled on our back yard. Cohen delihgted us, he moved us to tears, to the heights of joy and the depths of familiarity with life's realizations. This amazing performance undoubtedly crossed generations, but with no ill will intended to those under 50, the lives brought forth by Cohen in his poetry and song resonate most vividly in those of us who have been there. Treasure this CD and if you are in the younger age group hold on to it, listen as often as you want to but make a date to contemplate it as art once every ten years.

    The master has still got it. If you can't appreciate this man's body of work, then you need to look up genius in the dictionary.
