Did Giles Marini wow them again last night? Did LT finally get to the quarterback (Len)? Has Melissa Samba'ed the Bachelor right out of her mind? If you need to know the answers to these and much more important questions, head over and visit TRAVIS of "Trav's Thoughts", because NO ONE does a DWTS recap like our buddy Travis...
July 17, 2008, the O2 Arena in London, England, a 73-year old kid takes the stage and wows the audience with a three hour, four encore extravaganza.
It is all captured on a 2-CD set simply entitled Leonard Cohen – Live In London. The title might be simple, but the music contained on these two discs is far from simple.
Mr. Cohen and his 9-piece backing band draw you in and envelop you with some incredible music.
From the stunningly haunting version of “Hallelujah”, to his brilliant “Tower Of Song”, Cohen is in top form on this collection.
The rendition of “A Thousand Kisses Deep”, backed only by keyboardist Neil Larsen is performed to a full-house of silent revelers. At the conclusion the place goes wild and it is not hard to imagine why.
Cohen has always been one of our world’s best social commentators and listening to this collection of songs, he has not lost his touch whatsoever.
I have both the CD and the DVD of this performance and am willing to present each to two of you out there.
Due to copyright laws, I am not able to post any music from this release, but it is well worth adding to your collection if you are a fan of this ageless wonder.
Let me know in the comments section.

I just heard a great interview with Leonard Cohen on NPR the other day...
wonderful, I think its great he has put out another record...
On a nother note...I just heard Leon Russel sing Dixie Lullaby and it made me think of you...
"Well, Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine
Stand down on Beale Street
And Willie would stop and just to say hello
All the shoes he'd meet."
and on yet another note (its been a while since I've been here) IT'S BASEBALL SEASON AGAIN YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I thought.
Yea to Leonard Cohen. Such a great talent.
Gotta get some LC in my catalog.
Leonard is a Legend in my mind. Love him to bits. I would kill to see him live.
I love Cohen! Have a great show, Vinny.
