Leonard Cohen-I'm Your Man

[Steve Williams]

I'm a huge Leonard Cohen fan. He has written some great music over his years and I have several songs of his on a few of Philip O'Hanlon's demo disks. He ws a true poet who had an amazing view of the world. With little to do today we surfed to find something interesting and I found this free on Prime if you are a member. This was a wonderful tribute given to him If you're a fan and even if you're not this is worth the 103 minute run time. It was humbling to see U2 as Leonard Cohen's backup at a club in NYC

The link below is not free so up to you if you want to pay. I saw it free on Prime

In 2005|music producer Hal Wilner staged an all-star tribute concert in Australia in which a handful of major artists offered their interpretations of Cohen's songs|including Nick Cave|Jarvis Cocker of Pulp|Rufus Wainwright|Beth Orton|Kate and Anna McGarrigle|and many more. This documentary offers an intimate look at the songs|poetry and life of the influential troubadour|Leonard Cohen.

Agree Steve
This is an old favourite .. killer version of "the future" by Teddy Thompson and the 2 backup singers do a brilliant piece
It is interesting to compare the tentative Cohen here to the later concerts he did where he was in masterfull form... best live concerts I have ever seen
Bono did get up my nose a bit
