No... I REALLY Mean it... That Leonard Cohen Show Is Just This Side Of God...
Look. I could show you these shitty, shitty audience videos every day for a month, or you can take the visual memories of this show that I have already given you, and go listen. to that NPR recording, and REALLY experience something sublime.
Performances like this do not happen every day, and I'm not going to stop talking about it. This is some very important musical history happening, and is something very special-- and you need to listen to it, whether like it or not, Dammit!
"Tower Of Song," January 28th, Sydney Entertainment Centre... You could be hearing it the way it SHOULD be heard, right now...
This video cuts off at the really good part.
Honest folks. I ain't fibbin'. Leonard Cohen already owns next year's Grammy's, and the CD/DVD premiere release is set for 31 March 2009 @ Amazon.com. "Live In London". Tour dates at
leonardcohen dot com.
Cohen might not be on your favorite genres list. But, I'm talking about pure performance and engineering quality, here. I'm diminishing the word when I say this is transcendental.
It's the Books of Ruth and Job, it's the Song of Solomon, it's Matthew 5, it's everything that Kahlil Gibran and Richard Bach ever wrote, plus a dash of Burroughs and Thompson, with the ghost of Cassidy thrown in for fun. It's pure Tarnish, it's tarnished Purity, it's Health and Life. It's THE TRUTH, with music. AND, you can dance to it.
Looky here: It's doo- da- dum-dum- da- doo- dum- dum, in spectacular three part harmony.
Seriously...
Listen.
I ain't never steered you musically wrong, yet, and I ain't plannin' on startin' now, dammit. Not with something this damned hot.
