He is not only an excellent musician, poet and singer (gifted with a golden voice!) but also someone who gathers congenial, extraordinary artists around him always succeeding with an impressing, wonderful performance... yet he embodies the utmost humility and convincing simplicity as a real human, not only a star... he's simply a genius of the best kind... CHAPEAU, Leonard & band...!!!! :))))
A congenial, extraordinary background tape. Yes. I think an artist like Leonard Cohen deserves more than poppy, synth electronics only to make him more accessible to a larger audience (the wallet of the music industry). You might think there is credit for the backing vocals. Yet, besides auto-tune for the lead singer, the background choir has been dubbed, usually between 4 - 6 times to guarantee an almost flawless performance while keeping the sound as natural as possible. It might be sobering but this is since decades the normal procedure.
A lot of the 80s era studio albums really havent aged well in terms of arangement and recording. The style of music he does really doesnt suit the sterile situation of a studio, especially the way music was recorded in the 80s. His live performance arangements where way more human and soulful imho. Less Yamaha DX7 and more Rhodes stage piano, so to speak. Its kinda frusturating actually. He wrote some of his best music in that period, but the arangements just yeah a bit too 80s, and I kinda suspect forced on him by the label. Cos I know that in a situation where he had the best people and no commercial pressures, these songs could have sounded as vibrant and amazing as the versions he did live where.
From the first time I heard Leonard Cohen, some 47 years ago, and until now, he is my favorite artist and I don't see who could take his place. I was also incredibly lucky to see him live in the Roman Amphitheater in Pula when he last time performed in Croatia. RIP dear Leonard, you live on through your unsurpassed work.
Can't help it when I listen to that song when I became 54 years, just like I couldn't help it in 1986 , when I was 16 . Genius vocalist, genius poet . Love you man.
The wind instrument gives me such shivers and his voice is just incredible and with age got just better and better... RIP Leonard Cohen and thank you for such wonderful music and songs that we still love and cherish.
You don't get to go to heaven by living a sinful life. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
I truly hope to meet in heaven, I know many things, I have a friend though I am a widow, but if I say anything about my knowledge, I am put down, I moved out of house as soon as I could, it still hurts so much...because I am not allowed to talk about things that my late husband and I could, we were equals, life with this man was horrible, even he did a lot of things for me, it was about he gain. As you can guess he is a Democrat, a fool. I moved out. Because I was lower than the dog...a dog I trained, and made his life better, in other words, I messed up big time.
He has a way of taking me to a higher place! Love and will miss him forever. I hope he is playing in heaven with my late husband and with Alto Reed, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and all the greats!🎸🎺🎹🎧🎼
Of all of lens performances of this Masterpiece, thairs no question that this is up there with the very best. Beautiful performances from the ladies, perfection from the band ,thank you all .
Saw this show at the Wiltern in LA. I haven't listened for a bit . I just bought my entire family tshirts. Beyond words, the poetry is indescribable.. perfect is where it starts and then it gets better..
30 fois 50 fois et plus, regardé, écouté ce morceau de musique est un bonheur. Talents multiples au service d'un AUTEUR d'une immense envergure toujours alive. Bref j'adore
It’s never too late to add my opinion but I’ve this gut feeling that he knew he has so heavy a burden of sins but he seeks for reasons and found the spirit ( if it’s your will) that uplifted him and gave him another chancE .. for me he was touched by God and was given the light as he have used repent, prayer and His will amongst his writings… my humble contribution I guess from where I’m so enamored with his songs…
Yes the depression lessened and he was able to enjoy the stage and adulation. I'm so happy for him and it transformed his earlier renditions to perfection!
Fine arts of it's best, Leonard Cohen and THESE musicians, what a treasure 😊
His memory IS a blessing.
Read his poetry and books maybe the world would be a happy place 🎉🎉🎉
Not only the bass, the whole song is better than studio work ❤ R.I.P Leonard
The original studio version suffered from the typical eighties production and sound.
I was there, I cried twice. Nobody will ever replace him.
I'm not crying my eyes are sweating
I love it when they tell us their plans so boldly like this!
Now yuo see
signal from the heavens is better than whatever you or hitler run off of. good luck with your war against god (:
Those are some cool cats... Cohen was a poet and a prophet, the man was unmatched and always will be.
He is not only an excellent musician, poet and singer (gifted with a golden voice!) but also someone who gathers congenial, extraordinary artists around him always succeeding with an impressing, wonderful performance... yet he embodies the utmost humility and convincing simplicity as a real human, not only a star... he's simply a genius of the best kind...

@@Kyle_Warweave got any proof?
The guitarist or the mandolin player is a genius . That fella has got golden fingers.
True genius, artist and philosopher. Such talents are rare in a world that needs it.
They took Berlin in the 30*s of the last Century... we still are under their obedience... I really don't know why I like his music.... but I do
Surely rarely happens in U.S., very disappointed about Hollywood, and they are idiots, none of the movies are good....at least there is UTube.
@@shewolf1144 even demons can make good music
and a zionist
@@WimCold Yes for tell us we are idiots , an we celebrate, really IDIOTS 🤣🤣🤣
I listened this song a 100 times and love it more and move I adore and admire you Leonard
If you like the plot to take down. The west by communists .
The bass on this concert is better than the studio work. This I think is the best version of this song.
Me too!
All versions are the best.. His songs defy negativity
couldn't agree more!

КАКОЙ ГОЛОС, КАКИЕ МУЗЫКАНТЫ ОКРУЖАЮТ!!! КОЭН ТЫ ЖИВЁШЬ В СЕРДЦАХ МИЛЛИОНОВ!!! ТЫ ЖИВ!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lots of feelings.

RIP dear Leonard, you live on through your unsurpassed work.
❤
One the greatest performances ever.
True masterpiece, Sharon Robinson and Webb Sisters... Simply one of the greatest musical chemistry in the universe.
He knew how good those ladies are x
"I'm guided by the signals in the heaven." Shivers down my spine.
This song is about jewish cultural terrorists
Hello 👋
Hope the signals guided him on his way to the stars. Rest in peace Mr. Cohen
Can't help it when I listen to that song when I became 54 years, just like I couldn't help it in 1986 , when I was 16 . Genius vocalist, genius poet . Love you man.
His band was just so damn good.
Feel blessed to have the chance to see them live for what I think without any doubt, was my best live act I have ever seen
Un grandissimo signore della musica e della poesia. A great gentleman of music and poetry
12 string acoustic. Everyone was so damn good. So damn good. Sorry I can´t say more than that!
totally .... each one of them is a genius
Cohen's band is a show apart
This life in London is some of the best music of MY LIFE. This is generational.
Cannot get enough. Especially with Vince Vega on drums
How about the bass?
THANK YOU! Another drummer in the audience. I'm a Grind Core drummer all day long, but I would do anything to play for Cohen or Tony Benent.
V.V. is fantastic.
These recordings are a masterclass in cool.
La canción en directo es genial mejor que en disco . que ritmo compas voz algo escandaloso , fue uno de los grandes poetas y músicos. gracias¡
The greatest songwriter i ever had the pleasure of hearing, what a phenomenal talent , he is so inspirational to me, loved him and still do
Our company had a box at the O2, not many others really wanted to see him. I went every night - he was fantastic!!
Magnificent, as always. I must pay my respects to the ladies, as well. Amazing harmonies, just beautiful.
The wind instrument gives me such shivers and his voice is just incredible and with age got just better and better... RIP Leonard Cohen and thank you for such wonderful music and songs that we still love and cherish.
Still sad that he died. What a man. I want to hug him one day in heaven. Miss him so much...

Вы обладаете утонченным вкусом!!! Успехов Вам!!!
Listening to this as my nation is crumbling away
look at all the band members, they're on point and really enjoying the performance!
Fabuleux chef d'oeuvre

This Is perfection, and oh lord those women...Love Leonard ❣️
Hello 👋
I love this voice, I love this man, I love how I feel when I'm hearing his music.. as if I were flying
100%
In another life, Leonard Cohen was an opera singer.
But always a poet i think 😂❤x
This is absolutely world class from musicians to rhe quire. Would have dome everthing to be there at Lomdon 2012.
Your keyboard is broken.
Absolutely is in one of my top 100 music videos/songs OF ALL TIMES. IMHO this is Leonard Cohen's coolest song/video ever. peace to all.
Ah, you loved me as a loser, now you’re worried I just might win.
That is a prophetic and brilliant line.
Love the Webb Sisters!
This is superb, the best version, notwithstanding the lack of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Cohen gives the lyrics their full import.
That would be a dream collaboration.
Beautiful song.
Wow he hits all the notes even on a live performance, that's really good
So grateful to have been there and seen him.
This man had a vision, and i love and mis his voice.
Poetic and prophetic.
He has a way of taking me to a higher place! Love and will miss him forever. I hope he is playing in heaven with my late husband and with Alto Reed, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and all the greats!🎸🎺🎹🎧🎼
@Shoqzzzsmo zzzQAlo what does that mean, get help?
@Shoqzzzsmo zzzQAlo can’t take away from him that he was an amazing guitarist! Don’t know about him personally
Oh you mean Morrison! Sorry! But good songs and still being played today
@Shoqzzzsmo zzzQAlo 🥰it’s all good
Fantastic song and these background singers take it to a whole other level! Just wonderful!
Of all of lens performances of this Masterpiece, thairs no question that this is up there with the very best. Beautiful performances from the ladies, perfection from the band ,thank you all .
being a fun of hard rock music let me tell you ,it s great song,great great song
sorry for wrong fun spelling
"...a Masterpiece from every angle" 👍🌻👋😎
Love is Energy, even when lovers are separated.
The stage master and ever and forever .
He cannot sing. No talent at all.
@@peternorth1721 Singing is not just a talent my brother , there's a lot of great vocalists who didn't succeed.
Beautiful song
Epic! Sad I came to love Cohen so late, I’m kicking myself for not going to the concert!!!
You're not alone with this. Such a carismatic performer and totally brilliant with words.
Same for me, but he only starts to rock in his late years, just like Johnny Cash. How could we have known?
back in the '60's he was a quiet Canadian gem or so we thought, he was always better than we ever knew.
me too and
@T. Hall You sound like a jewish Federal-Reserve-Usurer.
miss you Leonard!
He left us with enough poetry x
leonard, you got me so many good times. R.I.P.
Playing a LC CD at home while entertaining a girlfriend got so many of us laid so many times over and over. Leonard never failed us :-)
Love you Leonard 🙏🏼
Hello 👋
he hates all europeans
What a men , Gott hab ihn seelig. 😪
Очарована таким голосом,просто как под гипнозом,браво!!!
what a song
Still awesome, in all the years and colors and ways.
Geat band and song,I highly recommend another great song, dance me to the end of love,a song that will give u the chills in a good way
I think "Dance me to the end of love" must be the best possible wedding song.
He is the greatest
Saw this show at the Wiltern in LA. I haven't listened for a bit . I just bought my entire family tshirts. Beyond words, the poetry is indescribable.. perfect is where it starts and then it gets better..
God bless your soul ...Mr. Cohen
In the 70s perfect music to get st***ed too. And now I’m 70 I still listen as often as possible. Miss you and love you b
This is a man I’d fall in love with instantly.
Have you heard, "I'm Your Man?" Me too. No question.
Amazing and Loving Leonard from Colombia!❤

Je connaissais pas mais quelle découverte. Une voix extraordinaire, et quelle présence sur scène. 🤩🤩🤩
Foro tú
Era um génio!!!
A masterpiece ❤️❤️
Hello 👋
Love the way he says the word beauty in his songs. Beau-ty. Not beau-dy.
Ah.... How happy he looked at the end😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes the depression lessened and he was able to enjoy the stage and adulation. I'm so happy for him and it transformed his earlier renditions to perfection!
Maravilhoso. Incomparável. Saudade eterna.
Together we stand devided we fall
❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤
Brilliant
Let it come true
A genius. He'll be sorely missed.
