THIS SONG FOR MANY TEADONS, INCLUDING A KIND OF RELIGIOUS TEXTVIN IT: IS TOTALLY BANNED FROM MY PLAYLIST, AS IS ALL THE REST OF THAT PERIOD. I REALLY DO NOT CARE AT ALL OF ALL WHAT IS SAID IN THIS FUCKING SONG SUCH AS "GUIDED BY HEA VEN". GO AWAY WITH THIS FUCKING SONG. TOTALLY BANNED. LOUIS CELLAURO
As I stated elsewhere: Leonard Cohen's sombre, word weary lyrics combined with Jennifer Warnes smooth contralto delivery and of course the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan's distinctive guitar work make this one of the most underrated late 80's pop/rock gems. It was the collective efforts of these talented people that made resulted in a great song being made.....
This album is in my top 5 of all time. Maybe number 1. Audiophiles use it to test very high end equipment because of it's stellar production values. Jennifer has a fantastic voice and the execution of the songs is superb.
Agree. Also 'The Hunter' album imo. Both are amazing. The quality of songs soulfully realized, cream o' the crop musicians with such original arrangements. are stereophile '10's - we'd test drive the components to these albums and smile. So lush and sweet still.
Jennifer Warnes is the best interpreter of the music of Leonard Cohen. She takes the work of the master and makes it her own and definitive. Thank you for sharing!
I was lucky enough to interview miss Warnes and she signed my CD copy of "Famous Blue Raincoat". In case you don't know, Ms. Warnes was a hugely successful studio artist and her records have sold a TON. Couldn't happen to a nicer soul. Sweet. If only all big talents were as kind.
I don't know if perfection exists but this must be pretty darned close. A superb singing performance with Jennifer holding the camera's view, SRV stretching and snapping those guitar strings and the enigmatic Mr Cohen smiling over the procedings. Just wow.
Wow, what a rare clip. Jennifer was a wise choice indeed to record this album. I remember getting a copy very shortly after it's release. It's every bit as wonderful listening to it today. Thanks for sharing this!
You are so lucky. Both Jennifer and Karen Carpenter are the two finest vocalists of this Century. I met Karen several times and still wish to hug Jennifer and thank her for her genius.
I guess at this late hour I am inspired to find more and more of Jennifer's profound opus. Each new song makes me want to hear her belt out one of the lyrics I penned over thirty years ago. Amazing talent. Thank you Jennifer.
Never saw this before because frankly the appeal of Leonard Cohen has always been completely lost on me. But Jennifer Warnes is a fantastic -- and fantastically underrated -- singer. Terrific performance here. And as soon as I heard that guitar I just said whoa, can it be? Good video.
Loved her backing on Leonard’s music especially the studio version on the I'm Your Man album, where Jennifer Warnes’ is haunting ❤️Take this Waltz… listen to I’ll dance with you in Vienna… breathtaking.
I don't know man. We all know about Jennifer's voice, but there's something very attractive in her looks too. She really has everything. The voice, talent, intelligence, and beauty the type of beauty that is attractive to "the thinking man". That little turn in her eye is cute too. She's the whole package as far as I'm concerned. Meant with respect.
Famous Blue Raincoat was the 3rd ever CD I bought back in August 1988. I was amazed by the clarity of the album on my new Technics CD player!. It is a DDD recording of course. That is Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar on this track. It's a great album, I also have the vinyl LP and there is a 20th Anniversary 3LP edition of the highest quality available, as far as I know!
As usual,its all about opinion. In my opinion ,this is one of the best (and,i beleive first,even before L.C.) versions of a stunning song by the finest female singer of the rock generation. Powerful,subtle,emotive,sublime, J.W. has it all. I have been listening to her for decades and never tire of doing so. I even like Dirty Dancing !!!!!!.Dirty Blue Raincoat is up there with the best collections/productions ever . Again i say,all about individual opinions.Rock on Jenny
Very underrated singer.W o n d e r f u l voice.Met her in 1987 when still working as a celebrity journalist for German COSMOPOLITAN together with LEONARD COHEN for an exclusive interview and told her,that she needed a good fashion designer to be more mesmerizing for the show business crowd .She laughed and agreed Hopefull,we will hear from her again ....with or without new fashion designer .Voices very often get even b e t t e r with chronological age ..
Wow, Jennifer Warnes is such a great singer with both talent and feeling in equal measure. She adds a couple of special things to this live performance, including the little vocal soaring near the end, which was not in the studio recording. I'm not a big Leonard Cohen fan--in fact, I've always thought he was overrated by the music critics and fans, though there's no doubt he wrote some excellent songs. Jennifer Warnes brought a contribution and quality to the songs that allowed me to appreciate the potential in several of his songs. She absolutely brought these songs to life for me. (I suppose you could also say she made them more palatable or commercial in the process.) And, in some ways, it may be the highlight of her career when she chose to interpret these songs, making them her own. That is, her voice and her heart seem so perfect for the songs. So deep, heartbreaking, melancholy, and emotionally rich the way she sings these songs. So this is a pairing made in heaven.
Her vocal may be live but otherwise it's straight from the recording. There is no change in SRV's guitar parts. Don't mean to be argumentative. Jennifer's vocal, either way, is stellar. Plus, she's a beauty. SW
Possibly my favourite song performance and guitar break, didn't realise it was SRV. Awesome. "But you see that line that's moving through the station" "I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those"
Yes! The images of the guitar player looked like SRV, so I read the comments to see if anybody else thought it was him. The tune sounds unlikely, not blues as he used to play, but obviously "pop" music. But the notes are clear, the slides are clean, there are no buzzy mistakes or missed strings in a sloppy bar-chord. What would he be today?
The wire mesh at the end reminds me of when Jake and Ellwood played Bob's Country Bunker. Surely NOBODY would chuck stuff at our dear Jennifer would they?
"I'd really like to live beside you baby, I love your body, and your spirit and your clothes, but you see that line that's moving through the station, I told you, I told you, I told you, I was one of those ..." The line always got me for some reason. Missing from Leonard's version

too $$$ for me lol
Impossible to get enough of that voice. Absolutely one of a kind.

People were so spoiled and so unaware of the true artists. They're finding out in their ending years.
@@tracyfortune3297 Well said Tracy. At 64 I too am finding these pearls.
Was eine Tolle Künstlerin und ein toller Song
Haven’t heard this for so long. Great song, excellent singer and SRV’s magic guitar.
Love this song from the 80s beautiful voice beautiful song love you jennifer

Great performance from Jennifer Warnes, and the lyrics are chilling and brilliant.
Superior voice. One of the best!
Great interpretation of a classic. Plus SRV❤️
She's a genius. she knew she could crack this song
She is so talented. I love her voice.
What a fine live performance!

Nice vocals by Warnes
Jennifer Warnes as always is amazing.
Killer voice. Any of today's 'artists' capable of doing a live performance that's actually live like this? Nope.

Is this song intentionally anti-Semitic ?
@@ProNorden
Not sure, but the composer was most definitely Jewish, so you decide
@@ProNorden How do you see this song as anti-Semitic?
I am mesmerized by her version song of this song.
Jennifer Warnes’ voice pierces me to the heart!!!
I don't know if perfection exists but this must be pretty darned close. A superb singing performance with Jennifer holding the camera's view, SRV stretching and snapping those guitar strings and the enigmatic Mr Cohen smiling over the procedings. Just wow.
Sorry, I do know how to spell 'proceedings'. Fingers too fast on my keyboard.
Such a superb voice that cuts to the soul of a song with her cry. Wow, this was a fantastic and totally sublime album for her and the music world.
This was a masterpiece...
Fantastic version and a real stand-out on the album. Love the SRV guitar work and the whole arrangement and production, in general.
What an amazing voice..God bless her
Been loving this woman for over 50 years!
My favorite female pop singer. Maybe favorite singer over all. What a voice.
Jennifer, easily the most inspired interpreter of Leonard's songs. We are "guided by the beauty of our weapons". So long, Leonard.
I've had this album from day one and never tire of listening, she's sooooo.
Wonderful voice and guitar!!!!
wow!!!!!!! she is supremely talented
Wow, what a rare clip. Jennifer was a wise choice indeed to record this album. I remember getting a copy very shortly after it's release. It's every bit as wonderful listening to it today. Thanks for sharing this!
Superb singer and interpreter of song. She is top notch.
Amazing singer. Met her so many times. Great person too.
You are so lucky. Both Jennifer and Karen Carpenter are the two finest vocalists of this Century. I met Karen several times and still wish to hug Jennifer and thank her for her genius.
Ohh what a beautiful voice!!!
Wonderful timbre and voice control. The song suits our times too. It has started in Noo Joyzey and Virginia!
I loved this album. I bought the tape and wore it out from so much playing. Loved it then, and it still sounds awesome today.
One of the greatest opening lines of any song. LC is a poetic genius.
I guess at this late hour I am inspired to find more and more of Jennifer's profound opus.
Each new song makes me want to hear her belt out one of the lyrics I penned over thirty years ago.
Amazing talent. Thank you Jennifer.
She is amazing!! One of the best ever!
Love this song and it’s artist, great work Jennifer!!
Beautiful version!.
Just pulled this album out... as I seem to every few years... just cant let it go.... cohen is simply the best song poet out there...
Never saw this before because frankly the appeal of Leonard Cohen has always been completely lost on me. But Jennifer Warnes is a fantastic -- and fantastically underrated -- singer. Terrific performance here. And as soon as I heard that guitar I just said whoa, can it be? Good video.
Stevie Ray Vaughan you legend. Good job brother!
We miss you.
what a voice - what pitch control. you could tune an instrument to her voice. amazing. i've never heard a singer hit the pitches so exactly.
This is a masterpiece - we shall miss him. RIP and thanks.
love this song from one of my favourite singers of all time! Outstanding!
Loved her backing on Leonard’s music especially the studio version on the I'm Your Man album, where Jennifer Warnes’ is haunting ❤️Take this Waltz… listen to I’ll dance with you in Vienna… breathtaking.

KRAZEEIZATION indeed
One of the HOTTEST rock songs ever written. What sweet revenge. It should have been #1!
The words of a master...our Canadian master...and the THE songbird. Glorious!
enfin je découvre Jennifer Warnes... merci... merci...

Well done man, I bought this single as soon as it was released (in 1987).
What a babe!
Love this song alive!!!
awesome, great singer, she made Leonords words come to life
It's wonderful! She is the greatest
I frackin' loved this album!

Beautiful Jennifer stay safe stay strong listening in lockdown love ya sending love from headway Nottingham UK xxxxx
I forgot just how good she is. Thanks for the VID
Stupendous.
best voice ever
Very very good!
Just Gorgeous,looks and voice 🇬🇧
Real quality, absolute class.
Amazing, I love Cohen, but she has completely taken this album of his and OWNED it !!! These songs surely should belong to Jennifer Warnes now?!!!
#
You are so right. She absolutely made the songs her own, and elevated them well beyond the potential they contained to begin with.
Haunting vocals
My god her voice....just love it so much. I seriously need to buy some new CD's I think :)
A truly great singer. I got the distinct feeling that Stevie Ray was wanting to break out and go wild,. but he kept to the script. Hee hee. Good man!
Go check out the remix! He lets loose for pretty much the last minute of the song lol
I thank you Jennifer for you led to me to Mr Cohen
wow.

Happy Birthday Jennifer Warnes; born on this date in 1947. {Mar. 3rd}...
I just couldn't believe that was Stevie! This must be really old. I'm glad I found it.
Possibly my favourite song performance and guitar break, didn't realise it was SRV. Awesome.
"But you see that line that's moving through the station"
"I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those"
We always loved you Leonard.
This is a great version :)
So very good!
That guitar and that intro is so totally fucking awesome. Been loving this for 20y now. Fuck me this is good.

What would he be today?
Jennifer Warnes was Leonard Cohen's backing singer for many years, I'm sure he really appreciated this version.
Amazing! :)
What a voice.
The wire mesh at the end reminds me of when Jake and Ellwood played Bob's Country Bunker. Surely NOBODY would chuck stuff at our dear Jennifer would they?
the monster SRV.. nails it again!
Amazing talent
KHASAB very interesting info on this song.. this is before Cohen and Stevie Ray Vaughn playin here! whoa! I even understand the lyrics..nice
"I'd really like to live beside you baby, I love your body, and your spirit and your clothes, but you see that line that's moving through the station, I told you, I told you, I told you, I was one of those ..."
The line always got me for some reason. Missing from Leonard's version
Beautiful❤️
Einfach stark, Leonhard Cohen, eben!
What a singer
My Mom had Famous Blue Raincoat on tape when I was a kid. She's an avid reader, and a Leonard Cohen fan, I think. This makes me think of her.
Fantastic song
Here for Leonard Cohen's birthday...and for this gorgeous version of his song.
Jennifer Warnes, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Leonard Cohen - Thank you!
Fantastic
